How does on find information regarding rural residences? Auren, Sanndial

[Morgan Hanson]

I've been trying to determine where my great-great grandfather was born, and grew up. A cousin has his name, and the rest of the family as Auren. I later found that his half-brother and mother were living at the rural residence of Auren, Sannidal, Telemark. https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/rural-residence/bf01037165000153

 

I'm curious how does one go about finding where this location exists today, is it still named as such, other general history. 

Is a lot of Norwegian family history largely oral stories passed down through generations?
