| I am looking for information on Mortinus Johansen Brandvik who was born in 1840, married Ingeborg Kristine Andreasdatter Vikan Brandvik on November 9, 1869 in Byugn Church. I am wondering where the name Brandvik came from. My maiden name was Brandvik, it originated from Store Brandvik in Huglo. Does anyone know who the parents are of the above and where they got the last name of Brandvik? |

The marriage record shows that Mortinus Johansen lived on Brandvik farm in Bjugn at the time of marriage.
Why do you think your name originated from Store Brandvik in Huglo? That farm is 460 miles further south...
Mortinus' parents was Johan Gjertsen Møllergaard and Ingeborg Larsdatter Ratdal.
Ingeborg Kristine's parents are probably Andreas Elias Vikan (1818 - 03 Sep 1885) and Kristin Josefsdatter (1822 - 08 Mar 1900)
The picture below is of the Brandvik farm in Bjugn, which must be the origin of Mortinus Johansen's last name.

| Thanks for the information. The reason I thought the name originated in Store Brandvik on Huglo is, my father Knut Ragnvald Eriksen Brandvik was born there. I was just contacted by a person also with Brandvik as the last name, she was wondering if we were related. I didn't realize there was another farm named Brandvik in Norway. I wonder if someone from Huglo went to Bjujgn or if someone from Bjugn went to Huglo. It would be interesting to find out that information. |

Never say never, but I doubt the people on Store Brandvik in Huglo are related to the people on Brandvik in Bjugn. Two different farms located far from each other.
Do you really have relationship to both these farms?
You said your father originated from Store Brandvik in Huglo. Are you related to Mortinus Johansen Brandvik from Bjugn also? |

Nothing so far seems to be leading back to Brandvik in Ørland, Sør-Trøndelag fylke (the place in the opening posts of this thread). Perhaps the question about Mortinus Johansen Brandvik was asked just exploring whether or not Mortinus was related to you (and the evidence so far is: he was not). |

From the research now posted, it is clear the two names Brandvik have a different origin and your family Brandvik is no relation to the Brandviks from Bjugn.
You may know that traditional naming practice in Norway was to christen a child with a first name and a patronymic name. During the child's lifetime, he/she might further be identified by his/her address (Ole Olsen living at Brandvik- gets shortened to Ole Olsen Brandvik). When the person moved, the address "name" changed. It was not a lifelong permanent name.
In modern times, that tradition ended in Norway, in favor of permanent surnames. The change happened earlier for immigrants, who adopted permanent surnames in their new land (such as the USA or Canada).
By the traditional practice, you can see that two people called Brandvik aren't necessarily related. Even people from the same farm Brandvik might be unrelated. (More than one family lived on a farm and its sub-farms, at the same time, and over the course of time.)
Some or most of this is obvious or widely known, or at least obvious to you - but perhaps making it explicit can't hurt. |

Both farm names (Brandvik in Bjugn and Store Brandvik in Huglo) are more than 400 years old, and originate from when the first farmers cleared the land by burning it down.... Brandvik can translate into "Fire bay".

I saw your 2015 post on Norwayheritage.com regarding the Branviks of Bjugn.
I am a descendant of the Branviks from Bjugn and am trying to locate the farm on Google maps. Do you have an address, lat-long, or similar that I can use to find it. I have looked at Google map;s but cannot find it. My understanding is that the farm is located approximately 7 kilometers south of old Bjugn (displays as Botngard on Google maps). I would like to go there some time after I have been inoculated for the coronavirus (perhaps next year?).

Here is a link to its location on Norgeskart.no. The map is interactive, so you can zoom out and move around, and you can change to aerial photo view. (The small icons down on the right.) The farm houses have been changed since the photo above was taken, but the roads and the terrain fit.
Address Brandvikveien 312, 7165 Oksvoll. |
