Nice picture! Nils Mikkelsen Reinfjell/ Nils på Øya was "selveier" (he owned the farm himself) on Reinfjellet until 1895. He then became "selveier" of the farm Overoien at Øya close to Mosjoen, and the house on the picture of the Nils and Petra Hagfors family belonged to the Overoien farm.

Census of 1900 and 1910.
His mother Ane Jonsdatter Reinfjell (she didn`t use her middle name) was born in 1810 and died in 1906. Mikkel Reinfjell was born in 1807 and died in 1891. Their house at the Reinfjellet farm was called "Oppistua".
Thanks Asle!
