Hi

Coming back to the original question about the name of the place I noticed that they were living in Dalen, Laardal not far from Skien in 1894. After looking around in the census books etc I found a place called Haatveit (Håtveit today).
Looking at the name on the record it looks as though it says "Harbook or Harl_ook" but it could be a very badly written and spelled version of Haatveit.

This is the name back in 1895....
