His name appears in several ways according to various documents:

John Johnsen Næbstad, age 22, checked out of the church on March 30, 1858. Also his wife, Sigri Nilsdtr, his mother, Ingeborg Evensdtr Heen and possibly a brother-in-law.

The Vang bygdebok gives Sigrid's husband's name as "Jon Jonsson Austreim (Heen)."

Sigrid's name is recorded with different farm names: Volviseiga/Veflen/Leite/Berge. She was born December 29, 1833 and died June 29, 1902.

John and Sigrid had 10 children - I believe a few died young, and some used "Johnson" as a surname.
