Where have I been?

One of the constants of this hobby has been the ebb and flow of research.  Since it is a hobby and not a vocation, I'm often stealing time from other pursuits in order to delve into historical records and written accounts.  While I have more free time than I did when my sons were young, I find the amount of research that I would like to do rarely matches the amount of time I can reasonably spare.  So, it's an on-going tug of war between research and other pursuits.  Such was the case in the past few weeks.  The tug of both expected and unexpected demands won out over research.  Whatever exciting discoveries await in the Digitalarkivet, they will remain unread for a while longer.  In the meantime, I thought I'd post a descendant chart for ggg-grandfather, Knud Endreson of Stake, Gol, Buskerud, Norweg. 

In an effort to preserve privacy, I've entered living persons and persons who may be living as "Private".  In consideration of space, I have not included my sources, but will provide that information to interested parties on request.  I have only posted information that I believe to be true but, upon further research, some may prove to contain inaccuracies.  So, if you wish to use this information, it would be well to check my sources.  With those provisos understood, let me introduce you to Knud Endreson's descendants:
