[#3191] Kilbakken

[Gjest Richard Cook]

We have a marriage record for our ancestors Martin Olsen from Kilbak and Oline Johansd. from Mellum in 1879. Martin's birth record shows the family is from Kilbakken. Can you help us locate Kilbakken? We can not find that farm name listed in the 1875 census for Elverum.

[Gjest Lars Johannessen]
