Old Boyum documents

These old documents I have received a copy of Knut(e) Bøyum's descendant in Seattle, USA.
The documents are old Norwegian documents date from the period around the time they
emigrated to America. A big thank you to the family who have shared these documents with us.
In addition there is a first-day mail envelope from the opening of the tunnel to Fjærland
(the place where Bøyum farms located).
