Hi everyone-
I've got a question about the land that my ancestors owned. I want to find the general area on a map of Norway and Im not sure where to find that out. I know that the place names and location have changed a bit and Im having a really hard time figuring it all out.

Here is the most complete information from the digitalarkivet

http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60621&gardpostnr=1037&personpostnr=5758#knappar

(My ancestor is Bjorn Rund as listed above)

So is there a way to find out where it was located? If so, what are the coordinates so I can find it on a current map?

I'd LOVE love LOVE it if I could get some assistance, you've all been a great help in the past.
