Hi Craig...I found out a little more about Adam Reutz. It seems there were several generations of Munthes who were priests in the area. Picture here should be his grandparents, the priest, and Karen von Rumohr Munthe. All these people were the ruling class, sent to Norway by the Danes, most of whom had German roots. In the photo should also be Adam's father, Johan, one of the children. This painting is in the Dale church at Luster. There is more for you to learn if you wish. 

The Vik Bygdebok starts out with an interesting story about the Reutz family at Saebo. It's more than I can read without working at it, but I might decide to give it a go. Sometime along the line Adam and Kari sold what they had at Saebo and bought some property at Midlang, which is where they died. Below is a detail of Karen Munthe von Rumohr Reutz from the painting.

Follow this link back to find the names of Adam's (and your) ancestors.
