[#70972] Location of farms in several towns in S&F

[Gjest Dale Tuvey]

My wife and I will be traveling in Norway in August. I am trying to locate certain farms where my ancestors lived in Laerdal, Sogndal, Hafslo, Naustdal, and Forde. I would like to visit the farms when I am there. Is there a source on-line or elsewhere a map would show the locations of farms in the vicinity of those towns?The farms I seek are:Kattevold, Arval, and Naversaeter in Sogndal Klaeven, Traeet, Qvam, Sonnesyn, and Grov in Hafslo Reikvam and Kalland in Naustdal Hafstad, hallbrend, Rotenes, Albost, and especially Holsen in FordeIn Laerdal I only have the name Ovre Ljosno and I don't know if that is a farm name or the name of a smaller town or group of farms.If anyone has knowledge of the location of any of these farms I would be grateful for any information you could provide.Thank You,Dale Tuvey

Google Earth would give you detailed maps. You will also find all these farms with the maps here: http://www.gulesider.no/kart/But you should write the farmnames in Norwegian, e.g. Årvål, Navarsæter, Sønnesyn, Ullebost, Ljøsne. But you may also search in the map for Førde, Hafslo, Sogndal or Lærdal.Øvre Ljøsne is a farm in Lærdal.

Hallo Dave Can you give me little information about your ancestors at Reiakvam and Kalland? Maybe I find them in our Bygdebok?
