Anyone know the location, in Nordhordland, of the traditional farm Brunsland? Believe it may be in Lindaas parish.
I have a map in the Nordeca series, sheet 10037 Bergen, which shows traditional farms in local parishes Alversund, Seim, parts of parishes Manger, Lygre, Lindaas and Myking. Can't seem to find Brunsland. |

| The 1865 Norwegian census shows a farm in Lindås then listed as "Bruntland". Perhaps that minor spelling variation explains your situation. |

| Thanks very much. My map shows no farm name nor farmland coloration at the site pinpointed by jwiborg. Could be that Brunsland/Bruntland is extinct, as a farm. My last family record: death at Bruntland in 1954 of my grandfather's cousin...his aunt's daughter. |

You're right. The houses are gone. However, there were several farms with the Brunsland name in the neighborhood, so if you want to pinpoint the exact one, you must provide more details, census-links or similar...

Snapshot from "Kartbok for Vestlandet", published by the newspaper "Bergens tidende" some decades ago. A convenient resource when tracing family in the old counties of Rogaland, Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordande, as virtually all farms in the area are marked on the map.

| I have a copy of that "Kartbok for Vestlandet" on my bookshelf and I'd noticed the additional spelling variation therein - Brundtland. I find collecting spelling variations to be a bit amusing. I usually explain it as "if it would sound the same - it is the same" |
