My Great Grandmother Petra Olsdtr Rundhaugen died August 9th, 1909 at the Fulgseng farm.

I live in Bismarck, North Dakota. Her brother Olaf came to the US in 1906 and I have connected with his descendants.

My question is would the burial have been at the farm where she died or possibly at the Ringsaker cemetery? Would there be any record of where she is buried? I am traveling to Moelv August 1st thru August 5th and my goal is to find her gravesite for my family and her brother Olaf's descendants.

You could expect that the burial was in the churchyard cemetery. A "gravesite" may no longer be identified but the cemetery could be visited.

The Fuglseng farms is today called Fulse.
I'm not familiar with the area, but the closest graveyard could be at Veldre church.
Note: A 100 year old grave would normally have been re-used, since the protection period (normally 20-30 years) is passed.

You can contact Hedmark Genealogical Society, asking which graveyard is the closest to the Fulse farm.
There are 10 graveyards in Ringsaker:
Brumunddal
Brøttum
Furnes
Helgøya
Mesnali
Nes
Ringsaker
Stavsjø
Veldre
Åsmarka
