"Veldeplads," Solberg parish near Beitstad

[Inga-Lil Henrickson Barnello]

I know the name of the place (farm) where my family lived. It was "Veldeplads."  (On the 1865 census it lists "Veldekloven" for this same family.) 

 

Is it possible to locate this land today, if I were to visit Beitstad, so I could see where they lived?  

 

It may no longer exist, I realize.  What is the possibility of locating the spot of an old farm or homestead?

 

Am I seeking impossible to find information?

 

Thank you,

Maybe you can get some information from the local 'historielag' in Beitstad?

Takk ! Thank you very much. This is all very helpful. I understand much more now from the census and the list of farms. The map is a big help also.
