Søndre Hoff Farm near Fåberg / Lillehammer

[Mitch Rognholt]

Mine forfedre bodde på Søndre Hoff-gården på midten til slutten av 1800-tallet. Jeg tror denne gården ligger i nærheten av Fåberg, men jeg kan ikke finne den på noen kart. Er det noen som vet hvor denne gården ligger?

 

Takk!

My ancestors lived on the Søndre Hoff farm in the mid to late 1800's. I believe this farm is near Fåberg but I am not able to locate it on any maps. Does anyone know where this farm is located?

 

Thanks!

I find the farm in the 1865 census in Vingerom, Fåberg

The farm is called Søre Hov on modern maps, right next to Vingrom church (kirke)

Thank you Matthias, I see it about 4.4 miles / 7 km South of Lillehammer.

You might already know about this, but I'll mention it anyway. Fåberg and Lillehammer History Society has published the (unfinished) manuscript of a book written by a local teacher (Aksel Hattestad). This manuscript, written in Norwegian back in 1962/63 and divided into PDF's mainly by farm, is available here:

 

Fåberg og Lillehammer historielag - Hattestadmanuskriptene (faberghistorielag.no)

 

The farm(s) Hov Nordre and Hov Søndre are in the same PDF.

 

The disclaimer from their site: Please note that these manuscripts were written several decades ago based on the source material Aksel Hattestad had access to. When using the manuscripts, one must be aware that this is a secondary source. We know that some of the manuscripts contain factual errors and therefore ask users to take this into account when using the information. As far as possible, one should therefore check the information against other sources.

 

Not beeing from the Fåberg/Lillehammer area, I have found these manuscripts very useful - when used in combination with primary sources.

Thore, I was not aware of this information, so thank you for sharing it. I used a translation tool to read some of it and it is interesting.
