I have seen this farm name written at least three different ways. My g. g. grandfather Christian Larsen was born May 17, 1835 and baptized in Faaberg Parish May 28. He married Anne Olsdatter Saeterbakken in Faaberg Parish in 1858 and they emigrated to America in 1871. A the time they were living on Nordhagen in Ringsaker.
I have records of him and his mother, but his father is simply listed on the birth record as Lars Bruget of Ringsaker. His mother was Marthe Olsdatter of Gjeitrud, and they were not married. On the parents names it says Erik and Marthe Geittrud, then Petter and Ann Gjorlien(?), Simen Holtlien(?).
Christian's obituary in Wisconsin in 1932 says that he was "the only son of Lars and Martha Larson." That information would have been given by his son or daughter as Anne died first. His death certificate gives his parents as Lars and Martha Gjedrud, information given by his son-in-law. The bottom line is: How do I find Lars Bruget? |

| Thank you. Yes, I did have the 1865 census record. I do believe that is his confirmation record on #23 but I can't really read the parent's names even though I ramped it up to 150%. Does it say Svendsen? It does look like Lars and Martha, so that is still Faaberg, but his birth records states that his father, Lars Bruget, is from Ringsaker so he was probably born there. |

- these persons were witnesses at the baptism.
Since the parents were not married, finding the father will be a challenge.
Lars Bruget = Lars Christiansen, Bruget, Ringsager - age not known. |

| Thank you. That narrows it down. If his father was Lars Christiansen then his father must have been Christian and my g. g. grandfather was named after his grandfather. I will look at those Bruget farms in the bygdebok. My Christian and Anne Saeterbakken had a daughter Maria who died in Norway before they emigrated in 1871. They also had a son Ole who emigrated with them and died in Wisconsin at age 18. |

It seems to be a connection to Nordbruget and Christian Hansen Bergseng or Berthe Larsdatter Vangen/Wangen.
When they married June 12. 1808 Rasmus Fredriksen Nordbruget was one of two bestmen, see 1. page 6. line from top here

Worth a try.
Another name for Vangen/Wangen was Brugvangen, origin a farm under Bruget N. and the schooldistrict was Sylliċsen and Bruget.
Lars Christensen born 1809 on Vangen /Brugvangen under Bruget married Eli Vernsdatter from Ringsaker Oct. 23. 1835.
A son Kristian b. Sept. 1836 and a dau Eline on farm Brugvangen in 1865

| Thank you everyone. Still not absolutely sure about Lars, except that Christian Larson's confirmation record states that his father was Lars Christensen. I know he was baptized in Faaberg, and that record I gives his father as Lars Bruget of Ringsaker. I know his mother was Marthe Olsdatter of GJedrud (Geitrud) in Ringsaker. And I know that he lived on Nordhagen at the time of the family's immigration in 1871. I have been working on this off and on for 20 years, and I may never know for sure. I am so grateful for everyone that answered. |

Those of you who thought that my Lars Christensen was the one from Brugvangen/Vangen/Wangen are correct. I got in touch with the genealogist in Brottum who helped write the latest bygdeboker and he agrees with that theory also. Thank you so much! That means that he was the father of my g. g. grandfather Christian Larsen, who was illegitimate, in 1835 with Marthe Gjedrud, then married Eli Vernsdatter that same year and had a legitimate son named Kristian in 1836. Quite a guy!
