The link to the scanned church record does not work.

Working direct links to the scanned images on the Digitalarkivet can be copied and pasted from the desired page from a display option available. At the top of the scanned image page is an option labeled "Bildeinformasjon:" [Norwegian version]/"Image Information"[English version] which is by default set to "Ingen" [Norwegian version]/"None" [English version]. Change that and magic is available. Of the three options I like "Øverst" [Norwegian version]/"On top" [English version] because it puts the additional information across the top of the page and is usually easier for me to see.

The first line "Kildeinformasjon:" [Norwegian version]/"Source information" [English version] is a really nice summary of the source of the information and is wonderful to have for making detailed source citations, footnotes, etc.

The second line "Permanent sidelenke:" [Norwegian version]/"Permanent pagelink" [English version] is the best line to capture if you want to save the exact URL location or share the actual scanned image and the source information. It allows the full capabilities for zooming in and out to best view the image and informs the recipient of the exact location, book and other details to be able to find WHERE you found the information.

The third line "Permanent bildelenke:" [Norwegian version]/"Permanent imagelink" [English version] is the best used to print a copy of the image or to save a copy of the image in a jpg format computer file. This line does NOT also capture the source information and therefore is NOT the best line to copy to share online when requesting help or assistance in deciphering the image found.

At the end of the record that writer has put in "husmannsfolk paa Kloster." He had a habit on those pages of making notes like that.

The family is included in the bygdebøker for Rennesøy, the third volume of that series in the pages for Utstein Kloster. Neither of the parents was originally from Rennesøy and most of their children later appear to have moved to Stavanger.

Jon Olavsen Bjotvedt 1767-1833 married in 1797 Ingebjørg Sjursdatter Måkastad 1777-1883.
Jon baught in 1797 Kristoffer Persons farm, he settled down on Jørdre. He (Jon) borrows from the same owner 300 rd. (Riksdaler). In 1803 be baught Kjerlandshagen from Elling Olavsen and sold the same farm in 1833 to his son Olav for 100 sp.(Spesiedaler).
Jon´s probate register shows that the widow inheirt half of a "stampemylne", valued to 3 Spesiedaler. - Jon was a handy man, he made his own plough and a potatoe rasp which he was congratulated for. In addition he had abilities as a phoem and he wrote 26 vers about the wedding in Espe June 17. 1788 where 6 persons drowned and several was wounded. (See Hardanger 1917 page 29)

"Stampe" was a "washing mashine" made of timber placed in a creek drifted as a "mylne" mill for carwing wool into wadmal.

Bjotveit = a farm located in Kinsarvik, Hordaland, Norway.
Måkastad = a farm located in Ullensvang, Hordaland, Norway.
Kjerland = a farm in what was Granvin, Hordaland, Norway.

Jon Olavsen Bjotvedt's paternal grandparents were both from Ringøy farm in Kinsarvik, Hordaland, Norway. It would be likely that you would find links to my own ancestral family in those locations.

Jillian, you must have been given much more about your family than could first be assumed from your questions. Jon Olavsen and Ingebjørg Sjursdatter are the ancestors of one of your family that later resided in Rogaland as discussed in the first page of this line of inquiry.

Have you studied the basics about Norwegian parish records and bygdeboker??

As I said Kjerland = a farm in what was Granvin, Hordaland, Norway.

Granvin, Ullensvang and Kinsarvik are areas along sections of the Hardanger fjord in Hordaland, Norway. They are well covered by resources such as parish records and bygdeboker.
"The ættarboks for Øyfjord, Ulvik, Kinsarvik, Odda, Udlesvang", 5 volumes by A.K. Bu; "Granvin, Ulvik og Eidfjord i gamal og ny tid", 2 volumes by Olav Kolltveit; "Aettarbok for Granvin" by Kvalem, Henrik Meyer.
"Odda, Ullensvang og Kinsarvik i gamal og ny tid", 5 volumes by Olav Kolltveit.
Rennesøy is the island district just to the north of the city of Stavanger in Rogaland. A multi-volume bygdeboker and parish records are also resources available for your use.
"Rennesøy gard og ætt", 3 volumes by Birger Lindanger, Jørg Erik Waula; "Rennesøy gards- og ættesoge", by Vilhelm Sunnanå og Håvard Vetrhus; "Rennesøy prestegjeld, Rennesøy, Mosterøy, Kvitsøy"

I have ancestors from all of those districts. I've "met" relatives still in Norway through my years of research into those areas -- persons with the same hobby and interested in exactly the same ancestors who happen upon each other while engaged in serious research. I've never deliberately sought out living relatives in Norway so cannot help you with that desire.

I've checked and I think it highly probable that Jon Olavsen Bjotvedt is one of the grandsons of 6th great grandparents of mine. My 5th great grandfather being one of his uncles.

It's good information in Follesdal's articles, enjoy the study and return to those articles as often as needed. I still do after all these years. Besides the small "dictionary" list Follesdal includes with his articles another online translation list will be useful to you -
http://home.online.no/~otjoerge/files/word.htm

Which archives sent you all this information? Did they do this work recently?

That's the link I was expecting to see.
Parents of Lars Rolandsen Kloster -- Roland Rolandsson, metal smith (born Nordland farm, Vang, Oppland ) m. Inger Jonsdatter (born Kjerland farm, Granvin, Hordaland) and Jon "Olavsen Bjotvedt" was her father in Granvin. That makes the link and lines up with the information in the bygdeboker by Kolltveit which includes Ytre Bjotveit farm, Kinsarvik.

Several of the bygdeboker/ættarboker for the Hardanger area districts of Ullensvang, Kinsarvik and Granvin that I listed earlier are available on LDS microfilm/microfiche; a very inexpensive way for you and I to get to use those books from the USA. (Use the translating lists and think seriously of buying a good Norwegian-English dictionary.) Most of all, enjoy the research!

Here is an overwiew to show you where Vang, Rennesøy and Granvin are located in Norway.

Vang is in the eastern part of southern Norway in Oppland county in a area called Valdres which contains several parishs, Granvin is in the western part in southern Norway and south of Granvin is Rennesøy

Roland Rolandsen was born in Vang in Nordland and christened August 7. 1803.
Roland´s parents Roland Larsen age 33 and Ingeborg Johannisdatter age 40 as farmers on Nordland in 1801, no children, three servants "Tienestefolk" and a renter, Gjertrud.
