Found them in the 1900 census at Digitalarkivet:

http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=arkivverket/ft1900/f01115&postnr=369&spraak=e

Johan Anton Lauritzen Løberg, b. 1872 in Skien (occupation was railway worker foreman)
Thorborg Thorkilsdatter Løberg, b. 1876 in Stavanger
Kristina Teresia. J.A. Løberg (daugther) b. 29.08.1900 in Egersund

No mention of their son Lauritz Konrad, but at least you have some leads to go on.

This must be the Løberg farm: Løberg Gjerpen - Gjerpen - Bratsberg amt (Telemark) described in O. Rygh:

112. Løberg. Udt. lø1bbær. -- Ladeberg Reg. 110, c. 1210. La-
berg NRJ. IV 29 (NG. Mscr. har Labierg). Løbergh 1585. 1593. Lø-
berg 1604.1/1, 1/1, 1/1. Løberg søndre med Ødegaarden, Løberg Middel,
Løeberg nordre 1665. Løeberg søndre, Mid-Løeberg og Løeberg nordre
1723.

*L&bmaapeno;ðuberg; af laða (hlaða) f., Lade (Indl. S. 63).

In the 1900 census there were 11 units:
Gjerpen Løbergrydningen
Gjerpen Løbergrydningen

Gjerpen Løberg nordre (gaard)
Gjerpen Løberg søndre
Gjerpen Løberg søndre (gaard)

See if this works:
http://kart.norge.no/

Pooh, could not get this links to work directly to the Løberg farm, what you do is:
Zoom in Telemerk
Zoom in Skien
Zoom in Skien again (click the zoom icon first)
Zoom in Hoppestad
You will se Løberg in the lower right corner, zoom in and navigate by using the arrows in the map's frame

Well, I'm not sure about Macs. Why don't you send a request to the TOLKEN99 people to find out if they have a version wich can be used with Mac, or if they can recommend something?
