[#1606] Nordmore

[Gjest Nancy Gustafson]

My great-great-great-grandfather is listed in the 1865 Census as being born in Nordmore. Where is Nordmore? I cannot find it in the census. Where would I look for this. Also, his last name is Holmbo...someone told me this is a priest line....what does that mean?Thank you for reading this. Nancy
