Gard navn, Næs ca 1745

[gj09631]

Hei ~

I am trying to read a farm name in the Nes Klokkerbok for a birth from about 1745. I can't read the first letter or letters, but the rest looks like flangsrud.

The record is found at the link http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-169 which is page 329 of the Nes Klokkerbok for 1663-1784. It is the fourth birth down, with the father of Søfren Oudensen and the child of Berthe.

I was not able to find a farm with these letters on the Rygh web page, in the 1801 or 1865 censuses for Nes, nor in the list of farms in parts 1-3 of the Nes bygdebøker.

If someone could help with name and perhaps knows if this farm is part of a larger farm, that would be most appreciated.

De kan skrive på norsk,

Takk,

The farm name is Aflangrud.

In the census 1801 the name is written: Aflangerud. You will find these farms here:

Takk så mye, Else.

I should have tried searching just on the middle letters!

Ha det bra,
