Where is Mosviken

[David Grawrock]

The 1910 census entry for Bernt Martin Storaas shows his birth place as Mosviken https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01036806041009

 

I can't find that place in any map system, Norgeskart or Google. Is it a suburb of Trondheim? Or someplace completely different.

 

The transcription appears to put "V" in for "U" at times, but I don't find a Mosuken either.

Mosvik is here. It was a separate municipality until it was joined into Inderøy in 2010.

Just some more information : Bernt Martin Storaas was born outside marriage (Illegitimate) in a mountain/forrest area outside Mosvik. The name of the place is Melting, and as i recall there were 2 or 3 farms called Melting at that time.
