[#68545] Farm name of Bruem

[Gjest Juliann Richens]

Is there a farm named Bruem. My gggrandfather immigrated from Norway to Minnesota, United States. His name was John Larson, later he went by John Larson Broman. An obituary of his sons states he came from Oigeberget. Several of you have given me suggestions on this place and I did not find anything. I am wondering if the Broman is part of his farm name? Any ideas or thought would be wonderful. Thank you Juliann

There are farms called 'Bruem' or 'Bruheim' in Sør-Fron and Skjåk (Oppland), Hafslo, Luster and Jostedal (Sogn og Fjordane) and in Sparbu, Verdal and Stod (Nord-Trøndelag).Do you know when John Larson was born and when he emigrated?

He was born 11 May 1827 (according to census and death certificate), the 1900 Minnesota census has him immigrating in 1862. Juliann
