Hello,

I am wondering if anyone is knowledgeable on how to find the locations of farms listed in historical records like the census?

I have a number of farms that I have been working to locate. I believe I MAY have found some of them, but it is really woodcut to know.

Here is a list of the farms as they are listed in historical records:
Rud Vestre, JevnakerParish, Oppland
Rud Ostre, Jevnaker Parish, Oppland
Brendengen, Hov Parish, Oppland
Sondre Sand, Land Parish, Oppland
Grime, Hov Parish, Sondre Land, Oppland
Venåsen Farm, Gran Parish. Oppland
Mørtvedt, Gran Parish, Oppland
Asp Ødegaarden, Nodre Land, Oppland
Bratlien, Nodre Land, Oppland

I apologize, I know it is a long list. I have found some possible locations on Norgeskart, but it has been difficult to figure out if I’ve actually found the correct places, and some appear to not exist or to have changed names.
