Hi, Lynne.
Nice to hear from you.My great grandfather, Ludvig Bogen, was born in the area of Moss, Norway in 1857.His patronymic was Svendsen.He took the Bogen farm name as his surname in the US.He married Anne Kirstene Braarud of Vaaler in the US in 1883.
I have looked through the Royal Archives on line at the U. of Bergen, but got lost in it.Without the info as to parish I really have no reference point.I had one other suggestion from the owner of the Norway Genealogy site, but I was still not able to make any headway through the Norsk.
Anyway, your Bogens seem to be from a later generation of immigrants than mine.If your Bogen farm is near Moss, we may be related; although everyone living at a particular farm is not necessarily inter-related, as I suppose you know.
I happen to have a photo of the Bogen farm scanned into my computer.If you are interested, I will email it to you.
John S.
