Gus' Farm

During our visit to Aalesund Gus' cousin, Berit, who is very involved with family genealogy, said that she had located the farm of Gus ancestors. This is the Engeland farm. Gus' middle name is Engeland....Gustav Engeland Karlsen.
Off we went into the Norwegian farm lands about 2.5 hours to find it and that we did.!

There is actually a very distant relative relative still living there. He is Peter Karlsen. He no longer farms the property but leases the land to the neighbor. We did not get to meet Peter but did meet his neighbor and family. There
are some photos below that document our visit. You will notice by the one caution sign that this must be a Gus Engeland Karlsen farm.
