[#65211] help with Oigeberget

[Gjest Juliann Richens]

I am looking for information on John Larson. His son's obituary states that John Larson immigrated to America in 1862 from Oigeberget Norway. John Larson changed his last name to John Broman sometime after 1900. His death certificate says only that he came from Norway. That his fathers name was John Broman and that he was born 11 May 1827. I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas on this place Oigeberget, I know that the way the obituary spelt it is wrong, and maybe a sugestion to as why he goes from the surname of Larson to Broman, abd if ppossible his fahters surname really is Broman. Thank you for your time and thoughts, I really do appreciate it. Juliann Riches

There's a farm called Ougeberget in Råde, Østfold in 1801. He might have come from that place, but it could also be another name, of course. LenkeThere's no Lars there in 1801, but his father may be born after 1801.

[Gjest Kjellaug Robberstad Petit]

In 1865, there's no Lars there either, but there's a Kristoffer Larsson 22 years old.

Maybe Oseberget in Sem Vestfold?

Or Oseberg in Øvre Eiker, Buskerud?

Oigeberget could also be Øyerberget in Brandvold, Hedmark or Øiberget in Skjåk, Oppland.

Broman is a Swedish name, so the family is origin in Sweden. I search the Family Search for John Broman/Sweden and found one person with a simular name. Living in Norway I would think Øyerberget in Brandvald is a strong candidate.
