My great great grandmother's patronymic name was SOMERVOLD. I'm told it was a farm name. She lived approximately between 1849 and 1922. Is it in any way possible to get a location of a farm when all you have is the farm name? Just grabbing at straws--

Go to the Digitalarkivet, there is a link below, click on Categories, then Census and you can search the 1865 and 1900 census by farm name. There are 20 farms named Sommervold in the 1865 census.
