A boatbuilding family for 300 years!

In 2002, the Norwegian Forestry Museum collected information about boatbuilding families along the Drammenselva River, most of whom lived at Hokksund, and built riverboats for rafting, transport and fishing.

Below is various information that has been extracted from censuses and from other sources in the digital pension system as well as familysearch, and combined:
