Hi!
The Bjerkaker farm (farm number 62) is situated in the administration center of Rennebu, Berkåk. In 1955 the number of separate parts, houses and farms from Bjerkaker were 81.

According to "Norges Bebyggelse" Sør Trøndelag, vestre del p. 744 (1955) the farmer at 62/1 was named Knut Trondsen Bjerkaker, born 1893 in Rennebu. Parents Karen and Trond Bjerkaker. Knut married (1925) Astrid Hansen b. 1902 in Rennebu. Children: Trond and Kjell.

Well the person I would be looking for came from that farm but it was around 1805. His name was Ole Amundsen. His marriage states that he was living on that farm. Do you have any info regarding that farm around that time?

I have no information on this farm in my DB, but in the 1815 census I found one Ole Amundsen in Rennebo (Rennebu):

" Ole Amundss male age: 25 occupation: tailor, manufacturer"
In the 1801 census for Bjerkager farm no Amund was found:
