Tørtum in Lom bygdebok

[dn26520]

Is the farm Tørtum mentioned in the Lom bygdebok? Is Eldri Tostensdatter of Tørtum who was buried on 29 September 1743: : http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1 ... 490612.jpg
the mother of Bersvend Jacobsen who moved to Klukstad in Lesja? Bersvend Jacobsen Klukstad was a prominent wood carver and painter of Norwegian folk art in churches.

Do you mean the mother of Jakob Bersvendsen, the son of Bersvend?
I doubt it - as Jakob was born appr. 1705 and Eldri was appr. 51 years old when she dies (so born around 1691): http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/kb ... 0000422271
