Østhagen farm - there are 2 on the topo map

[gj09631]

Hei ~

A member of our lag is trying to figure out which Østhagen farm is that of his ancestors.

From the list of owners in the Løten bygdebok (s. 569), it was learned that it was farm 43/2, with the Norske Gardsbruk listing the 1968 owners as Olav and Harald Nygård.

This book also says that the leaseholder was Ole Fredsvold and Emma Svenkerud, who had the children Peder Kristian (f. 1930) and Gunvor Elise, f. 1931.

Can anyone help us out in determining the correct Østhagen farm? The coordinates in the index to the topographical map are one farm at 22-48, and the other at 27-51.

Mange takk - De kan skrive på norsk.

In Matrikkelutkastet av 1950

go to Hedmark, Løten, 43 Øde-Kroksti,

and you will find Østerhagen as no. 2.

In the Hedmark map here

http://webhotel3.gisline.no/WebInnsyn_H ... _Hedmarken

search for Østerhagen

and you get several Stedsnavn hits. Two of them are "Østerhagen Bruk Løten". Click on the second one, and you will get the exact location on the map. Zoom in, and you will see the numbers 43/2, 8, confirming that this is the right one.
