Farm Books
A woman named Randi Bjørkvik was writing a farm book for the Hadeland region covering the parishes of Brandbu, Gran,  Jevnaker, and  Lunner when she unfortunately passed away in 2007. It was her dream that someone would finish her work after her death. So far, that has not yet happened, but all the notes she created during her research have been compiled into a CD database. If you are using a computer in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, you can access it by clicking here. Once you have downloaded the CD, it will contain a PDF with English instructions on how to use her notes. The main thing that is usually not clear to people is at the bottom of each opened file, there will be arrows to move to the next image. Each tif file usually has about five images in it not just one.
