Provenance
"He inherited the yeast from his father-in-law in 1978 and has been using it since, without getting yeast from anyone else. His father-in-law was Johan Arnøy (so it might be related to #7). Arnøy got his kveik from his father Sigurd Arnøy, who reportedly got his in turn from the farm Røthe in Dyrvedalen."
