I was wondering if there was a website or somewhere I can look up on a map where the following farms were located?
Furnaes Farm
Pinderud Farm
Both in Vang, Hedmark.
Thank you.

Hi,
Pinnerud farm and Furnes church are both located in Ringsaker municipality, just north of Hamar. I could not find any Furnes farm, but it must have been located next to the church.

| Thank you! I will try to find out......and, Jan Peter, I meant to write Fosnæs, not Furnæs. That was stupid of me.....sorry. When I get to typing, sometimes I get too fast for my brain to work! I really appreciate all your help.....I also noticed that these farms are not to far from my Loberg farm in Vang!! |

Thank you very much for the links. They are very informative. I had been wondering if there was anywhere that showed how large the farms my ancestors had might have been or are now, at least.
So if a farm (Klomset nedre in Telemark) is listed as 8 mark 92 øre, how large is that in American terms? Does anyone have links that show how to determine this - I can't find it in any of the dictionaries I normally use. |

Hi,
the value of "8 mark 92 øre" does not directly say anything about the size of the farm, in terms of acres.
8 mark and 92 øre was how much Margit Aanundsdatter as the farm owner of Klomset nedre had to pay to the local goverment as a yearly settlement, based on the farm's crop yield or expected harvest.
(Remember that this was before Norway introduced tax on income and capital.)
This land rent was not necessarily payed by in terms of cash, but rather often payed with goods, e.g. grain or flour.
The total value of all farms in Norway was set to 500 000 mark, making Klomset nedre's "value" equal to 0.0018 percent of that.
Hard to compare, but the person who payed the most in Telemark in 1886 was Cappelen, who had to pay 104 mark per year for Gimsøy convent, and 75 mark for the farm Sanden.
625 out of a total of 10396 farms/small holdings in Telemark county paid 9 marks or more in land rent that year.
So in that sence, Klomset nedre was not among the biggest ones in Telemark.
But only 22 out of 504 farms/small holdings in Seljord parish paid more tax than Margit that year, so from a local point of view, it was among the bigger ones, in terms of expected harvest, crop yield.
Still confused?
