My mother's father, Lars Mikkelson, was born in 1869 in Norway.
The 1865 census shows his family living on Stordeglum Farm, Furnes, Vang. His parents were Mikkel Jenssen and Karen Poulsdatter or Paulsdatter. This was confirmed by the Statsarkivet in Hamar. I assume that the family was still living there when Grandpa was born.
I would like to know more about Stordeglum farm and I would like to know where it is.
I found a picture on the Internet that apparently places it near the Furnes Church. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you
Gordon Mcmann.
