Note prepared by N. Dean Huseby regarding theletters and postcards: The letters and postcards were mostly sent to mygrandmother, Synneva Eide Haakinson, and her brother, Lars Andrew Sabo(went by Andrew). She settled in Radcliffe, Iowa and he settled in Portland,Oregon. Her biography is on pages 9-34 of the Haakinson family historybook. His biography is on page 205-210. So when a letter is written to theirsister, they are referring to Synneva and likewise written to a brother, it is toAndrew. Brita Koloy was their sister. She is mentioned on pages 174-176. Ithink that Bjarne Koloy was Britha and Lars Koloy’s son. He is mentioned onpage 177. Halvar is their half brother and his biography is on page 179-182.He lived in America for a while before returning to Norway. Not to beconfused with Halvar is Halvard Saebo, who I think was a cousin. He is notmentioned in my book. Leif was Halvar’s son and mentioned on page 187.Anna is Synneva and Andrew’s younger half sister and mentioned on page195. Torbjorn Eide was the youngest half brother of Synneva and Andrew.He is mentioned on pages 196-199. Edvard was Abel Haakinson’s brother.His biography is on pages 115-116 and 148. Fjelland was a cousin. Andrewwas raised by the Saebos at Fjelland. He is not mentioned in my book and Icannot positively identify him. I am not sure who Synneva Saebo, NilsSaebo, Hanna, Kaia and Kjaere were, probably cousins. Postcards: You willfind a number of postcards in the book beginning on page 271. The localpostcards are all from the western Hardanger Fjord area. I have notduplicated them unless you need me to provide them separated. If only the front side is printed, there is nothing significant on the reverse side. I havealso included unlabeled postcards but most of them can be identified bythe postcards themselves. , family letters from Halsnoy, 1930s-40s, and"Huseby Family Recipes and Reminisces," Compiled by Dean and DawnHuseby, Assisted by Carole Huseby and Maret Preston 2004.
