The location of Lille Brager and Vesla Brager farms in Sør-Aurdal

[Kevin Casey]

I'm looking for the location of Lille Brager and Vesla Brager farms in Sør-Aurdal, Innlandet. On modern maps, Braka/Brager/Brakar seems to be on the Fv. 243 as it runs north and south, at about 60°35'43.8"N 9°44'39.7"E (about 2 miles south-east of the Hedalen Stave Church "as the crow flies"). 

 

I'm not certain, though if Lille Brager and Vesla Brager farms would have been near there, or someplace else, or even if these are different names for the same farm.

Thank you,
Kevin

According to the bygdebok, Store-Braka and Vesle-Braka (vesle = lille) are the same as Øvre Braka and Nedre Braka.
