    So beautiful. My father arrived at Ellis Island from Stavanger, Norway in 1925, at nine years old. The beauty of his homeland of Norway is breathtaking. Tusen Takk !

    A lot of the painting there, esp at the 3:32 mark, is excellent examples of what is called rosemaling, basically "rose painting" but even if it is not specifically roses, the hand-painted decorative flowing and flowery painting is called that, Buskerud is famous for its rosemaling.

    Norwegians were (and are) a strong, hard people. living a tough life made them volatile, and sometimes, scary adversary to their (enemies). they were believers of bad sorcery, so keeping their families safe from "evil" was very important. temples and churches were everywhere.

    My wife’s ancestors lived in that area. Luckily, the church was very good at keeping records. My wife’s ancestors were born in that town or wed in the church around 1825. Nice to see it preserved.

    About the pews. I have read that richer people could pay a yearly fee to get exclusive access to a specific bench or seat. It was a way to be seen and show how wealthy you are. I found that in old accounting books from churches when I do genealogy.

    As so many other viewers have stated here, I also have ancestors who immigrated to the United States from Norway in the 1880s. During your video, I was trying to imagine how they probably lived in these types of buildings, perhaps in a similar village prior to leaving their homeland. I sometimes wonder what it must have been like for them to leave their friends and loved ones to come to America - knowing that they would probably never see any of these people ever again. Very moving video. Thank you for sharing it with us.

    For the water mill, any idea what happened to the water/creek? Or historically, did they have a series of wood diverters that flowed to the mill? I ask because it didn't sound or seem like any running water was near by.

    Instead of "claiming" their pew, maybe that family was memorialized in that way to raise money to pay for the pews. Many congregations still do things like it to raise building funds.

    My understanding, the original Stave Churches had no benches and certainly no pews. Everyone, except the old and infirmed (on benches along the wall of the church) would stand! Benches and pews came much later. FYI, I am 100% Norwegian American decendent. Father's family has deep roots in the Balestrand or Fjearland Fjord area, and my mother's family has deep roots in the Trondheim or Trøndelag area.
