Brekke is a farm under farm number 50 Lien in Eftelöt parish, Sandsvær, Buskerud.

I believe Brekke is now a rural part of Kongsberg kommune, farm number 50.

Hope this link works...

Thank you so much, I appreciate it. I am going to Norway in May and want to see the location where my family migrated from on both maternal and paternal side.

Hi Stacy,

 

I attach a screen dump of the intro page for farm Brekke from the bygdebok 'Sandsværs historie' vol. IV by Olav Såtvedt. Note the citation in English - would you possibly happen to be a descendant of the named Ole Lien ?

[Anfinn Bernaas]

If this is the right Brekke (haven't checked) you have to drive north from the city of Skien. Located within Kongsberg municipality's borders, but not accessible by car from Kongsberg. The map shows it perfectly.
