The Domsten family originated from Davik, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. There is a “farm” here called Dombestein. The gard (farm) was the basic unit of the old Norwegian society. A gard can be defined as a geographical unit where one or several families lived. Most of the people also worked at the farm where they lived. Up to around 1890 the farm names were not only family names, but more often they were used as addresses.
