I would like to know the proximity of the farms from where my ancestors are identified or if there is a map available that indicate the names/locations--- Fosshaugen Hæggeteig Wensæ Scharsbøe Ulfvisager Stedje
You can use this map and search for the farms. I assume you will find your way in the Norwegian language. I have tried and this is my proposals Fosshaugen - search for Fosshaugen Sogndal, no farm today, place in a village Hæggeteig - does not exist Wensæ - search for Venes Sogndal and click on Vines (Gårdsbruk) Scharsbøe - search for Skarsbø Sogndal Ulfvisager - no hit, but there are persons with the last name Ulviksbakken Stedje - search for Stedje Sogndal, no farm today, several hits in the Sogndal village.
Hi, Some additional information that may be helpful for you.
Ylvisager is current Ylvisåker. You will find a picture of the farm including two Skardsbø farms here in Sognafoto. Enter Sogndal-Alphabetically -Categories-Fams.
Here is an overview of the location of Fosshaugen (red circle), Skardsbø, Stedje (The kings property before 1663) and Ylvisåker.
A curiosity. The two brothers Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker are two popular artists in Norway with it´s own tv-show often parodies of other artists. Also mention folk singer Olav Stedje from Sogndal.
