[#15153] Bagøien or Baggøya farm in Melhus

[Gjest Ann Weber]

The 1900 census shows my great-great-grandmother, Guru Halvorsdatter, living with her daughter and son-in-law, Anders Iversen, at Bagøien. I'm wondering if this family (Anders' decendents) still owns the farm?I'm also trying to locate the farm on a map. I've found Melhus -- where is Bagøien in connection to Melhus?Thanks for your assistance!

I have looked up in the Melhus bygdebok, and I think I found Anders and his family. He has a grandson Anders Iversen born 1928 who was the owner of the farm in 1978. I will do some more research for you later on this family, if you want me to.

I have good news for you! Anders Bagøien born 1928 is still living on the farm. He also have children. For more information you can write to me at this adress: haavler@online.no
