[#38101] Døypte i Eidsvoll sokn 1861-1876 question.

[Gjest Mary Ellen Peterson]

In the Døpte Eidsvoll record for 1870, it states that my great-grandmother's residence was Furulund v: Dahl. Could someone tell me what the second part---v: Dahl---means? I am quite sure she was living on the Furulund farm at the time, so why would there be another farm name attached? Thank you kindly for help.

[Gjest Ola Ljødal]

Dahl is not a farm's name - it's the name of one of the southern parts of Eidsvoll municipality and also name of the local railway-station.

[Gjest Ola Ljødal]

Furulund v.Dahl means 'Furulund at Dahl'. Furulund must be name of the homestead or place where they lived - not necessarily a farm.
