    3. Researching various surnames in Faaberg, to include Landgraff, Simensdatter, Olsdatter, Jonsen, Christophersdatter, Henigsdatter. Many of my relatives lived on Borud, Dalen and Boleng farms. Question: What is the appropriate way of showing the name of a person, i.e., should the farm name be treated as the middle name, or is the farm name simply placed in your notes. For example, my Landgraff family carried this name throughout the generations. Should my ancester be known as Otto Ferdinand Landgraff or Otto Ferdinand Hoff Landgraff, Hoff being the farm where he was born. Bill
