My great great grandfather Arnon 'amon' Peterson was born in Fluberg, Oppland Norway in 1866. He married a woman named Johanna.

I don't believe his last name was always Peterson. I believe it was changed when he emigrated to the US.

My grandfather told me our last name used to be Torgrimstruen, which is the name of a farm in fluberg. Can anyone help me find a birth record or marriage record for arnon peterson or his family.

thanks

Perhaps the family on Torgrimstuen in the 1865 Census. Before your ancestor was born.

1865

Might be this one born to the same family but in 1866, in the 1875 Census. Name is Amund Pettersen on the farm named Torgrimstue ĝvre

Link

He was born on Dec 17, 1866 and baptized on Jan 13, 1867.

Torgrimstuen means Torgrims cabin, named after Torgrim, most likely the first settler.
