The Sandoe (Sandøy) family name may originate from at least 15 different areas, places here in Norway; from Hammerfest in north to Farsund in south.
My gr-gr-grandfather Povel Knutsson Sandøy Huse (Huse is from the farm Huse on Harøy island SW of Sandøy) was from Sandøy N-NW of Ålesund.His father Knut Olasson Sandøy "took" the name Sandøy, (maybe due to) his father Ola Larsson Småge settled on the island Sandøy abt 1770 - 80.
If you have more about your Sandøy line I may help finding more in Norwgian archives(?).
