That makes sense. Thanks very much for the help. I am able to read some Norwegian, but not well enough to deal with the combination of language and old handwriting...Bill

I recently found an official letter to the Danish Chancellie sent by Nicolai Wogensen from Fredrikstad in 1727, concerning his deceased brother Niels Wogensen, and attested by Stats Nikolai Dams, my 5xgreat-grandfather, and others. Niels and Nicolai are 1st cousins of Stats Dams' wife, Kiersten Niel...

Thanks very much, Else B.
The text certainly appears to provide more candid comments than I've seen in most other confirmation records, using Google Oversett for a rough Latin translation...

Would someone please help translate the text in the 1749 confirmation entry (#5) for Christina Susanna Statts Dams, at the weblink below? It looks to me like a combination of Latin and Norwegian..but I can't read the handwriting. Kildeinformasjon: Rogaland fylke, Eigersund, Ministerialbok nr. A 2 (1...

Thanks to you both.

Could someone help read the full entry for the marriage of Ole Erikson Staabye og Trincha Pedersdatter in the bottom of the right side page at link below?

Hi- I need some help reading the birth record for Hans Friderick (Olsen?) f. 13 Apr 1808, dpt. 24 Apr 1808. The parish entry appears to have a correction note, but I don't quite understand what its saying. I think it says that a Mari Hansdatter from Hovind gaard had a son out of wedlock with soldier...

Tusen takk for dette, Ragnar!
Jeg allerede visste litt om Livs forfedre, men du sikkert har gitt meg utrolig mye informasjon å gå gjennom.

mvh,
Bill

Jeg forstår ikke spørsmålet ditt (?). I 1801 Manntallet, jeg tror Aslach Olsen bodde på Haugland Nr.2/Nr.1 Moen. Samtidig, Helge Asbjørnsdatter Fagernæs bodde på Moen u Sannæs. Jeg har ennå ikke funnet der en av dem var født i kirkebøkene.

mvh
Bill

Jeg virkelig setter pris på hjelp og rask respons.

Bill

Many thanks, Ragnar. This information was very helpful.

I wonder if the Slektregister might also provide some information on another person, the mother of the wife of Aslach Olsen's son, Jørgen? I've recently posted a new entry for her (See: Helge Asbjørnsdatter Fagernæs, f. ca 1778).

Bill

I'm trying to find information on the parents and siblings of Helge Asbjørnsdatter Fagernæs, who is listed in the 1801 Census with her husband, Ole Torjusen and one child at Sannæs farm. Helge and Ole were married 25 Okt 1799 in Drangedal. Helge died in about Juni 1809 in Dragedal, at age 31. I did ...
