John Robertson Brandt came to Norway
1720. He lived in Kristiansund and worked for Johan Moses, dealing with
klippfish. Johan Moses was the owner of several fishing villages, among
those Storholmen just outside Farstad. After some years in Kristiansund,
Brandt was employed as the manager of Storholmen. It's been told
that he left his home in Grangemouth, Scotland, of some embarrasing incident
and therefor had to live incognito. It's also been told that he was the
only child of discount of Grangemouth. He lived in Brevik in Hustad and
was buried in Hustad graveyard 75 years old in year 1789.
I was wondering if you got any fuller information about John Robertson
Brandt? |
