Detailed content list (all homes)

Bygdebok for Lesja vol. 1 contains an overview of hamlets, name farms (see definition p. 10), farms, newer homes and farms, and abandoned places and farms in Lesja forest. These are listed below in the same order as in the book. The number in front of each home is the same as that used in the genealogical lists and the cross-referencing system (see introduction, p. 20). The rows of numbers are not always coherent.

The numbers in brackets behind most of the names are map references, following the grid on the map in the back of the book.
