"In old times Munkeliv kloster (monastery) owned Frette, and the users were tenant farmers. About 1660 the monastery farms were sold, and the priest Elias Andersen in Skånevik bought Frette. From his heirs, Rasmus Nilsson bought his part of the farm in 1708 and 1711. "[3]
Rasmus got his farm in Frette from his father in 1696, but didn't get the actual deed before years later.[4]
fekk garden på Frette i Etne etter faren i 1696, men skøyte og bygselssetel vart først utskrivne fleire år seinare. Elles er det lite ein får vita om Rasmus. Den yngre broren Nils ser ut til å ha budd på bruket ei tid før han flytta til Sauda. Sidan voks sønene til og tok seg for ein stor del av gardsdrifta. Diverre finst det ikkje noko skifte etter Rasmus eller kona hans.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Rasmus by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Rasmus:
Frette-53 and Nilsson-1538 appear to represent the same person because: I created a duplicate profile for this person before I found yours. Please merge them. Both profiles have useful info.
