The name "Muus"

Legg inn av gj05515 » 31. oktober 2012 kl. 15.35

Hello,

I see many people with the last name "Muus" in Snåsa. The named is passed from father to son, but I can not find a farm called Muus in the area.

Can anyone tell me where the name "Muus" comes from?

Mvh,

Brian

There is no Muus- farm in Snåsa.
I do not know if you can read Norwegian ?
This is an article about Niels Rasmusson Muus ( lived 1595 - 1663 ) who was a magistrate in Hedmark.
His sisters son Niels Pederson Muus ( lived 1642 - 1737 ) became Vicar in Snåsa.
So his descendants has the name Muus.
Many Parish - priests in this family.

Hi Marit,

Thank you very much for the link. I can read enough Norwegian that I could understand what was written. That was a big help!

Mvh,

Brian
