Preface
Far out in the Oslofjord you find three islands called Bolærne. In the period from 1916 to 2004 these
islands belonged to the “Ministry of defense”. Before 1916, Bolærne and a number of small islands
around, were owned by “Jarlsberg hovedgård”.
We know that people have lived on these islands for a very long time – and from the middle of 1600
we even know the names of most of them. Some of my ancestors are coming from these islands
– in particular the island “Østre Bolæren”. This story is about these people and their descendents.
Østre Bolæren was around 1600 only used as pasture for horses and sheep. The first name or family
living on the island was Ole Nilsen and his wife Ingeborg – around 1740. The first of my ancestors
on Østre Bolæren was Ellef Olsen. He came from Mellom Bolæren in 1773. (I am the 6th generation
after Ellef.)
This research started out with the idea to find the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to
Edvard and Anne Nilsen (my great-grandparents) from Østre Bolæren.
I have found 76 great-grandchildren – and I shall mention them all.
In order to make it easy to see the relation between the members of the family as well as between
the generations a coding system is introduced – which will be explained to you. The coding system
starts with Edvard and Anne Nilsen and include all their descendents. I shall also spend some time
on their ancestors, as well as on the history of Østre Bolæren.
In this work I have used the book “Nøtterøy” (from 1971) written by Sigurd H. Unneberg. This book
is based on the book by Lorens Berg from1922. Thus, in 1950 “Nøtterøy formannskap” decided to
point out a so called “bokutvalg” in order to realize an update the book of Lorens Berg. The work
started in 1957 and was finished by S. Unneberg in 1971.
I have also used Bergs book for Tjøme – and of course the genealogical resources on the net including
the church books (digitised parish registers).
Østre Bolæren is now an island for different types of summer activities – only rudiments are back from
the military time. Money has been invested in order to transform the islands into a summer paradise.

The name
Around 1590 the islands were called “Bolleren”. The famous philologist Sophus Bugge assumed that
the first part of the name could mean a “border” – since the islands seem to form a border to the
Oslofjord. They are the utmost border of Nøtterøy.
The name you can find on maps is usually Bolæren (Vestre-, Mellom- and Østre Bolæren). In many
newspapers the last few years the name is written Bolærne. I shall use this name for all three islands
together (the plural). However I shall use the names “Østre Bolæren”, “Vestre Bolæren” and “Mellom-
Bolæren” for each of the three islands.
The size of the islands
Altogether, Bolærne include 2600 dekar (a dekar is approximately 1/4 acre) – divided on 46 islands (the
three large ones and some small). Mellom-Bolæren is the largest and the first settlers lived there.
Østre Bolæren has a size of 590 dekar – and in 1866 they cultivated 37 dekar and they had 3
cows.
Owners
Bolærne with all the small islands around were owned by Jarlsberg hovedgård. In 1916 “The Defense
Department” expropriated the islands. They built a fortress that could defend the Oslofjord and the
waterway to Oslo. It was some war activities in April 1940. During the war the germans built out the
fortress – in fact with war prisoners from Russia.
The islands were military ground with no admittance for the public until 2004. Then all military activity
was stopped – the islands were cleaned up, and finally opened to the public. In 2006 Vestre
bolæren and Mellom-Bolæren are owned by Nøtterøy kommune. Østre Bolæren is owned by Vestfold
fylkeskommune + Nøtterøy kommune.
The buildings on the island are from four different time-periods. First of all, some buildings from the
period before 1916. Then some from the establishment of the fortress around 1920, then buildings
from the second world war – and finally buildings from 1990 – 1992.
It has to be mentioned that a lot
of work has been done in order
to clean up the military garbage.
Thus about 6 km of barbed
wire is removed, 83 ton metal
is taken away. The island has
been through its first season as
a summer paradise.

People on the island
Old graves (heaps of stones) have been found on all the islands – indicating that they have been
inhabited – or have been a resort for hunters in antiquity.
We know that people have lived on both Vestre Bolæren and Mellom-Bolæren from the middle of
the 1600 hundred. They lived here and paid a yearly fee to the owner (Jarlsberg hovedgård). They
could farm on the islands – they could fish and they also worked as pilots for larger vessels coming
in the Oslofjord. We may consider this as a very simple and poor life according to present times
standard. However, it can be noted that few – if any, of these people emigrated to USA in the period
1800 – 1900 where we have heavy emigration from the inland districts – both in Vestfold and other
parts of Norway.
The life on the islands must have been completely different from today. We have little knowledge about
schooling for the children – and I must admit that I have very little knowledge about the education for
my grandmother. She was born on Østre Bolæren in1859, and lived here at least the first 24 years
of her life – she even gave birth to two children out there.
Another important issue is the health situation. They had no doctors to call upon – and no medication
for simple colds or some more dangerous virus infections. We shall later return to the winter 1865 –
66 where 5 of my granduncles and grandaunts died. In conclusion – life was hard.
According to S. Unneberg the first settlers on Østre Bolæren was Ole Nilsen. He came to the island
in the beginning of 1700. Ole died in 1742 and his wife Ingeborg in 1746.
In 1747 Jens Anundsen (1714 –1794) came from Mellom-Bolæren. He married Dorte Maria Andersdatter
(1715 – 1772). They had 5 children: Hans (born 1737), Anund, Maren Kirstine, Dorte and
Anders (born 1747). The family moved from Østre Bolæren to Hvaløy in 1772 when Dorte Maria
died. Three of the children; Anund, Maren Kristine and Dorte also died when the family was on Østre
Bolæren.
A picture from Mellom-Bolæren 1945. During the war it was a prison camp on Bolærne.
Captured russian soldiers were hold in the camp and they worked on the fortress.

My ancestors on Østre Bolæren
The family that will be described here came to Østre Bolæren in 1772 when Ellef Olsen (1747 –
1810) leased Østre Bolæren. Ellef is the grandfather of Edvard Nilsen.
Ellef was born on Mellom-Bolæren and he was, according to Unneberg, a pilot. He leased Østre
Bolæren for 37 years until he drowned in the fall of 1810 – 63 years old.
Ellef Olsen leased Østre Bolæren for a yearly fee of 12 riksdaler (riksdaler was the name of the currency
used from 1544 to 1813).
Ellef was the son of Ole Ellefsen (1720 – 1790) and Anne Svendsdatter (1726 – 1811). He married
two times.
I. His first wife was Anne Maria Jensdatter (1748 – 1787). She came from the nearby island Gåsøy
– and she died only 39 years old. They got however, 5 children:
1. Ole (born 1773). Married to Johanne Jonasdatter from Movik. They lived in Denmark.
2. Anne Kirstine (born 1775). No further information available.
3. Anne Maria (1776 – 1834). She was married to 1). Anders Brynildsen from Drøbak and 2). Ingvald
Jensen from Vestre Bolæren.
4. Susanna (born 1780). Married to Steinar Gundersen. They lived in Telemark.
5. Ellef (f. 1784). No further information.
II. Ellefs second wife was Inger Maria Nilsdatter (1751 – 1808). Inger Maria came from Søndre
Nes and was the daughter of Nils Sørensen (1725 – 1774) and Mari Jonsdatter (1724 – 1789). They
got three children.
1. Maren (1789 – 1882). She is the mother of Edvard Nilsen. She is furthermore the great–great
grandmother of the present author. She married 23 years old with her cousin Nils Henriksen from
Søndre Nes (see below).
2. Anne Maria (1793 – 1853). She married Anders Hansen and they lived on Lindholmen.
If you see above she has a half sister with the same name Anne Maria. In the church book they are
given the same name when baptized. They have the same father, but different mothers.
3. Nilia (1797 – 1857). Married to Lars Ingvaldsen from Vestre Bolæren. First they lived on Mellom
Bolæren and then they leased Vestre Bolæren. They got 6 children.
Ellef died in 1810 – 63 years old. He was a sea pilot and he probably drowned together with his brother
Ole and a boy – a so called “pilot boy”.

The period 1811 – 1861
with Nils Henriksen
When Ellef Olsen died the lease of Østre Bolæren was transferred to his “son in law” Nils Henriksen.
Nils was the son of Henrik Nilssen (1754 – 1809) and Oline Olsdatter (1758 – 1833) from Søndre
Nes. If you look to the page above, we can ascertain that Henrik is the brother of Inger Maria
Nilsdatter – the mother of Maren (see below). The place Søndre Nes is the farm which today is
within Knarberg and the place where Walter Holland had his poultry farm.
Nils Henriksen (1785 – 1861) married in 1812 his cousin Maren Ellevsdatter (1789 – 1882). They
were 27 and 23 years when they married – and become 76 and 93 years old.
Nils and Maren leased Østre Bolæren for 50 years. In this period all together 15 – 17 people lived
on Østre Bolæren. According to Sigurd Unneberg the number of people on Østre Bolæren was
as follows:
1801: 10, 1845: 17, 1865: 18, 1875: 15, 1900: 7
Nils and Maren had all together 8 children. However, only 4 grew up. That is:
1. Henrik (1812 – 1832). He died 20 years old.
2. Edvard (1815 – 1893). He is the one that took over the lease of Østre Bolæren in 1861. He
represents the start point for the coding system used (see below).
3. Inger Marie Sifie (1818 – 1892). She was married to Eilert Tønnesen (1816 – 1895). They lived
first on Østre Bolæren and from 1853 on Hvaløy. They had 4 children.
4. Marte Andrea (1827 – 1911). Married to pilot Kristian Amundsen (1816 – 1902). They owned
and lived on Kjøleholmen – but moved in 1889 to Østre Oterbekk (bruksnr. 13). It can be mentioned
that when Marte Andrea became widow she sold Kjøleholmen in 1903 for 2 500 kr to Jørgen Skabo
– and he sold it in 1917 to the David Andersen family which still has this lovely island.
Marte Andrea and Kristian had 3 children: Marie (1852 – 1910), Henrik (1854 – 1904) and Arnt
Nicolai (1858 – ). It can be mentioned that Maren Ellefsdatter lived with her youngest daughter
on Kjøleholmen the last years of her long life.

Edvard Nilsen
We have reached the point where we can sum up the ancestors of Edvard Nilsen – the pilot and
farmer that spent all his life on Østre Bolæren.
He was born 7/7 1815 and baptized in Nøtterøy church 14. July with the name Edvard Nils. He died
January 12 1893 (77 and a half year old).
Henrik Nilsen Oline Olsdatter
1754 – 1809

Anne Nilsdatter (1/11 1817 – 30/4 1905) was from the other side of the Oslofjord – Åle in Onsøy.
We have rather scanty information about her ancestors. Her parents were Nils Olsen (1780 – )
and Elen Thorina Nilsdatter (1792 – ). She married 22 years old with Edvard Nilsen, October 8th
1839. They lived on Østre Bolæren (leased the island from 1861 – 1893).

The coding system
All the descendents of Anne and Edvard Nilsen are given by the letter B after Bolæren. Furthermore,
in order to distinguish all the B`s we use numbers. The first generation, that is the children
of Anne and Edvard is given by B and one number. Thus; B 1 is their oldest child Helene Matilde,
B 2 is their next child Emil Nikolai and so on.
The grandchildren (2nd generation) are given by two numbers – divided by a dot. The greatgrandchildren
(3rd generation) by three numbers (divided by two dots) – and so on.
The coding follows each person and makes it rather easy to see the family relation between the
people and the generations.
Anne and Edvard got 10 children, 24 grandchildren and 75 great-grandchildren. In 2006 we have
at least 6 generations after Anne and Edvard Nilsen – and it would be almost impossible to find
them all. However, in the following we shall try to give as many as possible.
Children
B 1. Helene Mathilde (1840 – 1924).
B 2. Emil Nikolai August (1842 – 1866).
B 3. Severine Amalie (1844 – 1865).
B 4. Nikoline Marie (1846 – 1866).
B 5. Edvard Anton (1849 – 1866).
B 6. Hans Olaus (1851 – 1866).
B 7. Hanna Andrine (1854 – 1920).
B 8. Olava Ottoine (1856 – 1870).
B 9. Hulda Gjertine (1859 – 1947).
B 10. Inga Othilie (1865 – 1944).
From Nøtterøy church. The tombstone
to Anne and Edvard.
It is also the tombstone for their youngest
child Inga Othilie and her husband
Nils Fredrik Jensen.
Only the 4 girls; B 1. Helene Mathilde, B 7. Hanna Andrine, B 9. Hulda Gjertine and B 10. Inga
Othilie got married and have descendents. The 6 other children died all very young and 5 of them in
the course of 4 months in the winter 1865 – 66.

The tragedy in the winter 1865 – 1866
on Østre Bolæren
On the previous page we have listed Anne and Edvards 10 children. When the youngest Inga (B
10) was born September 3. 1865 – all 10 children were alive. Only half a year later the number
of children was only 5 – and we can easily see that a tragedy had taken place on the island the
winter 1865/66.
In the course of 3 months 5 children – or rather youths died. B 3 Severine Amalie (21 years) died
22. December 1865, B 5 Edvard Anton (16 years) died 27. January 1866, B 4 Nikoline Marie (19
years) died 2. March and then on March 9 1866 dies both B 2 Emil Nikolai August (23 years) and
B 6 Hans Olaus (14 years). The last three were all buried on March 14. 1866.
We have no information about the cause of death – however, since it took place over a period of
4 months, it could not have been an accident. Presumably, it was some kind of a virus infection.
It can be noticed that all three boys in the family died that year.
Olava Ottoine (B 8) died May 28. 1870 almost 14 years old.
This is a picture from 2004 and shows one of the B-descendents Aggie Fadum (B 9.6.1) in front
of one of the old houses on Østre Bolæren. It is presumably the house where Anne and Edvard
Nilsen lived.
Note that Aggie is coded by B and three numbers. She is therefore one of the great grandchildren:
Furthermore, she is a grandchild of B 9 Hulda Gjertine.

B – descendents
Helene Mathilde – B 1
B 1 Helene Mathilde (Christensen) (1840 – 1924). She married 22 years old with Christoffer
Christensen (1834 – 1924). He was a sea captain. They first lived on Østre Bolæren, then on Bjerkøy

They bought a lot from Ulvø gård in 1895 (today it is Berganveien 177). They lived here the rest of
their lives – and as you can see they got quite old – respectively 92 and 90 years (they were married
in 59 years).
Even was a seaman all his life. He was mate and sea captain on sailing vessels – and after he retired
his hobby was to make small sailing vessels. The house they built burned down, January 20 1939
– two days before their golden wedding. This was a dramatic incident – which made an important
impact on me (I was 11 years old at the time) since we lived only two houses away..
