Norsk Slektshistorisk Tidsskrift, bind XLVII, hefte 4

Jeg mottok den siste utgaven av Norsk Slektshistorisk Tidsskrift (bind XLVII (47), hefte 4) i postkassen forrige mandag. Heftet kompletterer bind 47 og er altså den siste utgaven av NST i det gamle formatet. Som jeg fortalte i januar i år vil NST bli slått sammen med Genealogen. Det planlegges 3 utgaver per år – i helt ny design (men sikkert med elementer fra begge tidsskrifter) – og med flere sider per utgave. Tidsskriftet vil både ha fagfellevurderte artikler og artikler av «lettere slag» samt de vanlige medlemssidene. Are S. Gustavsen og Johan Marius Setsaas fortsetter som redaktører sammen med NSFs formann Rune Nedrud, som har vært redaktør for Genealogen siden 2011. I tillegg slutter tidligere NST-redaktør Klaus Johan Myrvoll seg til redaksjonen. Jeg både tror og håper at foreningen vil holde utgivelsestakten fremover slik at medlemmene får det de faktisk betaler for. Jeg ser frem til første utgave av «nye» NST!

Men la oss gå tilbake til herværende utgave, som kan by på følgende godbiter:

• Fra redaksjonen, s. 221.
• Atle Steinar Langekiehl: Olav Rød på Kråkerøy – hans slektsforbindelser og nærmeste descendenter. Gården Rød i eldre tid, s. 223–267.
• Terje Gudbrandson – 80 år, s. 268.
• Yngve Nedrebø: Arven etter «Nicolaus paa Vyenn», s. 269–282. 
• Are S. Gustavsen: Bjørn Jonson Dale 1950–2026 [minneord], s. 282
• Are S. Gustavsen: Genealogiske godbiter I: Dansk-norske forbindelser funnet via Erik Brejls nettsider, s. 283–286.
• Norsk Slektshistorisk Forenings nye navneregister, s. 287.

I tillegg inneholder utgaven reklame for foreningens sommertur til Ringerike, som fant sted lørdag 6. juni, og som selvsagt er blitt forhåndsannonsert på foreningens nettsider tidligere, samt for Slektsforskerkonferansen 14. november 2026. Der får vi mange spennende foredrag på dagen og kan ta del i foreningens jubileumsmiddag på kvelden. NSF feirer 100 år 22. oktober 2026.

Historikeren Atle Steinar Langekiehls artikkel handler om storbonden Olav Rød (skifte 1644), den første eieren av gården Rød nordre på Kråkerøy. Vi får en oversikt over Olavs nærmeste etterkommere, noe som ikke har vært dokumentert tidligere, og slektsforbindelser for øvrig. Artikkelen kan ses på som en korreksjon og supplement til bygdebokens opplysninger om slekten på Rød fra slutten av 1500-årene til midten av 1600-årene. Et interessant underkapittel heter Hans Nielsen Hauges avstamning fra Olav Rød. Blant kildene er Danske Kanselli, Skapsaker, jordebøker, diplomer, lensregnskaper mfl. Artikkelen har 3 slektstavler.

Historikeren og tidligere statsarkivar Yngve Nedrebøs bidrag tar utgangspunkt i en dom fra 1590 som tolket arvereglene og odelsreglene i landslova og gjennom dette fordelte arven etter «Nicolaus paa Vyenn» (Nikolas på Vie, Førde) (f. ca. 1440–d. e. 1510). Saken var reist av oldebarnet Mikkel Johannisson (f. ca. 1545, n. 1590–1598) fra Nedrebø i Jølster. Leserne får detaljer fra dommen og om arvingene, som konkluderes i en slektstavle som viser linjene fra Olav til oldebarna. To av Nikolas' barnebarn hadde hver fire kjente barn etter seg og alle har stor etterslekt. Hvis man er så heldig å kunne spore egen slekt tilbake til en av disse oldebarna kan man altså komme helt tilbake til 1400-tallet. Dommen står på trykk i Det kongelige bibliotek, København, Thottske samlingar no. 1279, En  Dombog med adskillige norske Domme fra  det XVI Sec., Bergens Sager især angaaende. Domboken er også tilgjengelig i Digitalarkivet: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/db50002653200001

Redaktør Are S. Gustavsens lille artikkel tar for seg godbiter han har funnet i kildeavskriftene på Erik Brejls nettsider, https://brejl.dk/ Her kan mange norske slektsforskere finne ny viten om sine danske aner.

For ordens skyld så har jeg kun stått for siste korrektur av artiklene til Langekiehl og Nedrebø.

Short English summary: This article covers issue 4, vol. XLVII (47), of Norsk Slektshistorisk Tidsskrift, the periodical of the Norwegian Genealogical Society.

UK: Princess Eugenie and Mr. Jack Brooksbank are expecting their third child

Buckingham Palace announced today that Princess Eugenie and Mr. Jack Brooksbank are expecting their third child:

Princess Eugenie and Mr. Jack Brooksbank are expecting their third child

Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their third child together, due this summer.

August (aged 5) and Ernest (aged 2) are also very excited to have another sibling join the family.

His Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news.

Princess Eugenie is the younger daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York) and Sarah Ferguson. Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank, eldest son of George Brooksbank and Nicola Brooksbank, née Newton, on 12 October 2018. The couple's first son, August, was born on 9 February 2021, while Ernest was born on 30 May 2023.

The addition to the family, if nothing else happens in the meantime, will at birth become no. 15 in the line of succession to the British throne.

Norway: The king and queen will return home from vacation today

The Norwegian Royal Court announced today that the king and queen will return home from their vacation today. Their Majesties hae spent the last couple of weeks or so at Tenerife in Spain. Unfortunately the king was admitted to hospital on 24 February 2026 due to an infection and dehydration. He was discharged already two days later and decided to remain at Tenerife a few more days while his treatment continued. The king's physician, Bjørn Bendz, will travel back to Oslo together with Their Majesties.

The court stated in today's announcement that the king is doing well and is epected to resume his duties next week. Crown Prince Haakon's regency will end the very minute the king lands at Gardermoen.

Norway: King Harald discharged from hospital, continues vacation

The Norwegian Royal Court announced last Thursday, 26 February 2026, that King Harald had been discharged from hospital. He had responded well to the treatment he had reeceived after being hospitalized for an infection and dehydration.

The court followed up with an update on Monday 2 March, informing that the king's health had continued to improve and that he would continue his private stay at Tenerife.

Crown Prince Haakon will in the meantime serve as Regent. As far as I remember, the king originally had duties today, but the list of official engagements was changed. The Crown Prince Regent will preside over the Council of State on Friday 6 March, but is in the list referred to as Crown Prince only on 9 March 2026, which would mean, if nothing is changed in the meantime, that the king is expected to return to Norway during the coming weekend.

His condition was considered as good considering the circumstances.The king's physician, Bjørn Bendz, flew in from Oslo today. In today's press statement we were told that the situation is stable and the king is responding well to the treatment, but is expected to remain in hospital a few days for observation and further treatment. A new press bulletin is expected on Thursday evening.
