Rumor had it for years that all that was left here after the great emigrations in the 1850s
that emptied the valleys of almost 40% of the male population, were two old ladies and a
goat whose job it was to keep the grass on the roof trim and provide geitost for their
table (Did Adrian say this?) , but both the village of Fortun and the farm are still
there!. Photo: Torill Susanne Magnusdotter Yttri Otterhjell

Adrian H. Dahl [III] (1919-2005) visited Fortun and picked up the authoritative Luster: Gards-
og aettesoge; Fortun sokn which Sonje Ann Dahl Jessen, his daughter, passed on to Alan
(because she didnt speak or read Norwegian).
On their trip to Fortun, Norway and the ancestral home farm in 2005, Alan and Jill
enlisted the gracious help of Torill Magnusdotter Yttre Otterhjell to verify much of the
genealogy and add a few pieces of information that other family sleuths had not found.
Cousin Agnes Fortney Deason (1922 - ) [III] and her daughter Sylvia Deason
(1946 - ) [IV] did their own additional and very thorough study of the family.
