We are planning to visit Norway this coming year and would like to visit the church and cemetery where we believe my husband's great grandfather is buried. His name is Johannes Andreassen (Johannesen) born in 1867, married Lise Hanson on 1/18/1892 and was killed on March 21, 1905. He was born, confirmed, married and buried in Hedmark County, Ringsaker muncipality. We found his burial information on page 189 in the parish records for Veldre in Ringsaker. Although we can not interpete all the Norwegian information. We know he was killed by 3 highwaymen from Sweden. We do know that his farm was called Sveum and was located near Brumunddal. Can anyone tell us where his farm may have been located or where this church is located? I located 3 Sveum farms, but do not know their locations. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
