 Håsrstad, Nørrigard (a local pronunciation for the Northern farm) was split up about 1600. First probably in two equal parts, Nørrigard and Søstuggu (Norhern and Southern Hårstad). Then Søstuggu was split up in two farms, Utstuggu (Outher Hårstad) and Søstuggu. The value "Skyld" for Nørrigard was the same as for the two other farms together. In 1645 6 people older than 12 years lived on the farm, among them Fredrik and his wife. In 1635 Fredrik signed an agreement concerning "førsel" (not sure, likel acting about a road, trespassing etc.)

"Skyld" valued the farm if it was sold, by inheritance and set the tax paid to the king.      ---children:	 Torger ARntsen Hårstad. Bruker Nørgard Hårstad 1663-1709. Född omkring 1625. [1]
