Can anyone read the name of this town in Norway for birthplace from the Michigan Death Certificate?
Thank you for your help. I have attached the whole certificate as well for handwriting comparison if needed.

I believe it is Buviken, a parish in Søndre Trondhjems Amt. Here is a confirmation record for Tomas Petersen born on that date. He also has a twin brother Ole. Parents are Peter Engebretsen and Marit Jonsdatter

They are seen in the 1865 census. Be sure to notice at the top, left "Sætherløkken" http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste_e.aspx?ft=1865&knr=1655&kenr=007&bnr=0074&lnr=000&fbclid=IwAR3NPT0oCIrjJ3iVqbavjGoMAlNTua6uiqn5Q1bfcss6T349wJluxRi6s_U

Twin brother Ole stays in Norway with wife and children in the 1925 census. It's nice to see because he has the name of Ole Petersen Sæther (Sather) which is your family name. https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01063300005366?fbclid=IwAR3ykQEINkNkMyY85wj2CO8v1XXCDsiWgJiXqrb7pUxASwHFy4gwPRxqWNw

Christening record for Tomas and Ole was a little tricky to find but it had to be there because it was indexed by FamilySearch but not found with the "regular" records. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/2364/127

@judithsather judithsather Sorry, I didn't understand your reply. Not getting what? Have I misunderstood your original question on the death certificate?

@judithsather judithsather, if you go your profile at https://community.familysearch.org/s/profile/0053A00000FGh2WQAT you can create a comment on this post, and Shari and everyone else in the Nordic Community group will be able to see it. I'm guessing that's what you meant by your not being sure we were getting "this" (i.e., seeing your comment). I hope that helps!
