I have been working on my family ancestry for 20+ years. My aunt visited the family farm in Norway a long time ago and given her age, she can't recall where it was. I found the records on the 1865 Census that said that they were on Ytteroy on a farm with this information:
Census district: 008 2det
Help
Rural residence: 0021 Fjeldstuen
Parish:Ytterøen
Parish:Værran
I can't find any maps and I assume the farm was absorbed a long time ago. Any chance someone might have some ideas on how I can locate the area? |

| It was probably located somewhere near Verrasundet: Map. You can zoom in on the map (South shore) and find many of the farms mentioned before and after Fjeldstuen in the census, like Storsteinvik, Hindberg, Hovdklumpen. The name of Fjeldstuen would be Fjellstua today; with a little luck I can find something relevant in a bygdebok. That will have to wait until tomorrow. |

Thanks! This is helpful. I have been looking on the island of Ytteroy but the older generations are listed in Mosvik which would be nearer to this area.

Ytterøy Parish probably covered more than Ytterøy island. Mosvik seems to have been a subparish of Ytterøy parish, and that is where the son Augustinus was baptised in early 1863:

Note that the parents' residence at that time was given as Hindberg. So possibly Fjeldstuen was a cotter's place under Hindberg. |

The family is described in volume 3 of Bygdebok for Mosvik. Online access is restricted, but I have had a look, and it says that Augustinus was born at Fjellstu, located between Stordrilen and Fjellvatna, and indeed there is a Fjelstua there: Map.
The family is listed under the farm Øyen, described as situated at "Stonga i Meltingvatnet". Meltingvatnet (Melting lake) is easily found on the map, but I am less sure about Stonga. Perhaps it is the same as Storøya, in that case the farm is here: Map. In the 1900 census, Øyen is listed together with Liaunet, also at Meltingvatnet: Map. As I read the book, Andreas owned the farm Øyen from 1875 and onwards. Here is a clipping. Andreas Kristoffersen Øien died at Liaunet in 1908 (#5). |

I can't thank you enough! I wondered where the name Oien came from. I will review all this. You are amazing.
