Anders Andersson born about 1660 on Lii farm?

[59981]

Could someone look in the Evanger bygdebok to see if there was an Anders Andersson on the Lii farm born about 1660? The Lii farm is 7 km north of Evanger.

Background:
My uncle had his DNA tested by Family Tree DNA and found that his Y-chromosome and autosomal DNA match another man who is descended from Anders Andersson. The man thinks that Anders may have been born about 1660. He doesn’t know where Anders was born.

My uncle is descended from a Nils Andersson born perhaps 1640 or 1650 and who lived on the Flansaas farm about 3 km north of Evanger (Hordaland). We think Anders Andersson and Nils Andersson might have been brothers.

The 1664 census gives some more clues. At this time, Peder Larson was the farmer on Flansaas. Anders Larson was the farmer on Lii. Peder Larson and Anders Larson might have been brothers. This could explain why Nils Andersson replaced Peder Larson on the Flansaas farm.

So, to summarize, we think that Nils Andersson and Anders Andersson might have been brothers. Their father, then, would have been Anders Larson on the Lii farm.

Thanks for your help!
