I have just read the start of the tread. Ingeborg Jakobsdatter Frikstad and John (Jo) Hansen Svingen : We do find these rather unique farm names near my birth place Heidal of Sel, 12 miles from Otta.

The brand new 1910 census shows that she was born at Aamot (plads) under Mostuen. In fact it was here in Otta downtown. I was first a little confused. The official name of the farm was Blekastad (Aamot). Aamot means river meeting. 1910 census shows John H Svingen 1857, Ingeborg 1874, Johannes 1899, Marie 1901, Andrias 1904, Jørga 1906 and Anna 1909. In 1910 they lived in Christiania (Oslo). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Opprinnelig melding----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, December 03, 2010 2:29 AM To: NOR-OPPLAND-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Opp] Emma Marie Johnsdatter Svingen (b:28Nov1901Christiania/Oslo) This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
