This is something that I’ve been working on with Google Translate to come up with my own edit of Vossaboki.
Since I am an English speaker, it takes a long time to try to edit, but in this case, I’ve chosen the farms where most of my ancestors came from
Graudo—————————————————————
Lars Kindem: Vossaboki 3, side 226
In the 14th century, the name was written a Graudum. It is now said ôvré and néré Grauó; he búr pao, è tao Grauó, ska tì Graua, sms. Graualund'n. The name is probably the plural of a word grauði m., which no longer exists in Norwegian, but is found in Anglo-Saxon (Gréado, m.) with the meaning bring, breast.
Orm (Borgarson) Kavle at Graudo lived 1300-1339. Probate was held after him in 1339. He must have been from a large and rich noble family. Sume believes that both his brother and uncle have been Norwegian parliamentarians. Orm has used two different shield brands. Because it is unlikely that two Orm Kavle lived on Voss then. Under a diploma from 1304, he carries in the shield mark an inclined beam with a wingless dragon. Above is a lily with seed stalk and below is a six-petalled rose. Under a diploma from 1319 is the shield of white and black "checkered" beam. In both cases, the Umskrifti is "Ormeri filii Borgari".
In 1306, Orm was present at a transfer at Øvrebø in Fjellberg by Torkjel Bonde's son Askjel Torkelson, who had been married to Ingjerd Torgautsdatter from Aga. She was probably the second wife of Orm Kavle and had with him the son Sørkver Ormson. Orm had the son Hallstein with his first wife. Upper Graudo has been inherited by Hallstein Ormson. Look at Hylle um Ingjerd and Sørkver. There is a question whether Sisselja and Ragnhild Ormsdötter were daughters of Orm at Graudo. Sisselja was married to Kalle or Karl. Ragnhild was married to Eindride Olavson in 1337. Orm was present around 1303 together with 7 others in Buagard in Bergen when Einar Pinnung promised two men land in Kyte in exchange for their testifying in a case about Byrkjo
Orm Kavle and Svein Bjarneson have in 1317 together with 10 others announced that they heard of an agreement that Tore Sigurdson made with Odd Røte and sister Ingebjørg for 20 mmb. in Rogne. In 1319-1320, Orm Kavle together with two others issued a letter with testimony about a case between Peter Finne and Peter Romundson about 1½ mmb. in Horveids-Åen. Fredrik the priest at Vangen, Orm Kavle, Bjørn Steineson and Svein at Graudo testify in a letter written at Vossavangen 22 May 1323 that Odd, farmer at Gjerdåk, bought 2 mmb. in Saude by Håvard Halleson. Orm Kavle and Svein Graudo, together with three others, in a letter dated 4 November 1324, reported a settlement for land that Torgeir Tvilde had sold to Odd Oddson.
Brynjulv Brynjulvson, sheriff of Voss, and Jørund Asbjørnson of Berge testify in a letter on 10 March 1340, that Eirik Erlendson (Bokke Finne) gave Bjørn Steineson legal authority to sue Hallstein Ormson (son of Orm Kavle on Graudo) in connection with Nedre-Åen from Gryvja up to Vassenden. On 9 September, Botolv, priest at Evanger, Brynjulv Brynjulvson, sheriff at Voss and Jørund (Asbjørnson) at Berge announced that in 1340 they were present in the spring between Gryvja and Vassenden when Bjørn Steineson led his witnesses. They stated that they were in the kitchen door on Øvre Graudo, when Bjørn, on behalf of Eirik Erlendson and himself, had voted Hallstein, son of Orm Borgarson Kavle, to meet at Nedre-Åen between Gryvja and Vassenden with the evidence and witnesses that he had. Hallstein knew Hjørnevik and managed to fish in larger area than Bjørn and Eirik thought he had a right to.
Jon Torsteinson at Helland leased on 6 October 1386 a section of shore to Svein Ivarson at Graudo ½ spannsbol in Bolstad, Evanger. He probably bought this especially for salmon fishing. Orm Kavle at Gjerde in 1456 must be from the same family as Orm Kavle mentioned above.
In 1521 there were five users of Graudo: Harlog who paid 3 lots sylve in tax and 1 mark 1 skill. in breffbrot, Åmund with 4 marks in tax and 8 marks in breffbrot, Herborg, a gente, 2½ lots 1 quintin sylve, probably in tax, Erling 8 marks in tax and 8 marks in breffbrot, Oluf on Nedre Graudo 5 marks in tax and 8 marks in breach of contract. In the national archive is a letter from 1539 write on Hallene (must be Hylle) by Mats Kavle. He was Svante Nilsson's fut on Øresten in Bohuslen in 1505.
There were four users in 1563, who each paid 1 dalar in tax: Gudleik, Svein, Laurits and Marta. The last three were at Nedre Graudo. Laurits also paid the land debt with 2 marks 4 shillings. A service boy with full salary, Laurits, taxes ½ dalar. In 1573, as sheriff of Voss, Laurits, together with 5 others, executed a leather deed at Vossavangen for the exchange of make by Veka and Styve. The letter is in the Bergen Museum. Three tenants lived at Graudo in 1590: Gitle, Laurits and Gudleik. In court witness records in 1570 around Lemmesteigane, it is stated that Laurits Øvre Graudo had died and had been a well-trusted warehouseman. Gitle and Gudleik have then testified about the mark. After the church accounts 1585-1616, the bishop's chair in Bergen received 2 units of butter and 2 hides and Vangskyrkja 1 ash of grain and 4 merks of butter in annual land debt from their properties on Graudo.
Gitle, Knut, Laurits and Oluf were tenants in 1603, Gudleik. Gitle, Oluf, Lasse and Knut in 1611. Gitle was the owner of 3 teams, Oluf Nedre Graudo of 1 laup 1 team, Knut 1 team and Laurits 3½ teams. In 1614, Lasse, Gitle, Knut and Olav were tenants. Gitle eight then ½ laup and Knut Øvre Graudo 1 laup. Knut Gudleikson, and wife Arngunna Torgeirsdr. sold 1620 to Bård Johannesson Sponheim, Ulvik, her land share Arngunna 6 marks 1 sheepskin in Indre Bu, Eidfjord, for 6 good old riksdalers, each dalar 6½ marks.
There were also the same tenants in 1621. Oluf Nedre Graudo then owned 1 span in Ygre, 1 span in Kvåle, Rd. Knut Graudo and Anders Rykke eight 1½ laup in Gjerdåk, 1 laup 9 marks in Bygd, ½ laup in Mykkeltveit, 42 marks in Mestad, ½ laup in Langeland, 54 marks in Sefflestad, 5 marks in Århus, 1 laup in Berge, 20 marks in Vike, 1 span in Haug, Rd., 45 marks in Skjerve and 5 marks in Hirt. Oluf Nedre Ygre was the owner of ½ laup in Veka (Vike?), 2½ spans in Rekve and ½ spans in Skorvu. Gitle eight 1 team in Haug, Rd., 1 team in Ronve and 1 team in Grimastad. Marta An eight 28 mark in Graudo.
The Leidangsboki for 1624 says that on Lower Graudo the lease was ½ loaf of butter and 2 buckskins with Olav and Lars as users and on Upper Graudo 2 pounds of butter, 2 buckskins and 2 goatskins where Gitle and Knut were users. It has led to the fact that the soil in both places was "pretty good for farming", but there were many people farmers and there was nothing of value. In 1627, Ryttarstax was levied on the noble estate in five use soleis: On 3½ laup 9 marks tax 8 dollars 1½ ort 6 separate, on 1½ laup 6 marks tax 3½ dollars 1½ ort. Angunn was a user of boats. On 1 laup tax 2 dalar 1 place with Gjertrud as user. On 14 marks in Øvre Graudo tax 1½ ort 6 separate. and on 1 laup 1 span in Nedre Graudo tax 2½ dollars 1 ort 6 skill. The user's name was Olav on the last two.
The tax census 1635 has as tenants on Lower Graudo Olav on 2½ laup, Åmund likeins and on Øvre Graudo
Oluf 4 laup and Laurits 4 laup. Åmund was so poor that he was exempt from withholding tax. The tenants at Øvre Graudo in 1645 were: Olav Ivarson, and wife Marta, with children Gitle and Anna and servant Dordei, Laurits Arneson, and Guri, with children Olav and Anna Nedre Graudo there were: Olav Gullbranson, and Gundelle, Eirik Olavson and wife Berete and Jon Eilivson and wife Gyrid. Per and Jon are mentioned as tenants at Nedre Graudo around 1657. Jon was voted in 1655 for a fine for a large loft in Finne, which must be the old Finneloftet. Jon must therefore have been a user there for a while. Upper Graudo is not listed in the tax census of 1652, 1655 and 1659.
In 1661 and later there is a separation between Øvre Graudo and Nedre Graudo
Øvre (Upper) Graudo.
In 1661, the land commission brought up Øvre Graudo under Finnegodset with 8 laup in debt, four users and that there was a wood forest and a hop farm for domestic use. In the register of 1723, the same is the case with five users. There was some pine forest to wallow in the house with, peat forest and hop fields. The garden was easy-going and had good grain soil. The land register of 1838 lists the same owner and five users. They were self-sufficient with forests and the comparison figure was 3,000. The debt was then rewritten to 19 dalars 4 ort 13 skils.
The 1865 land registry has 5 farmers who together had 49 acres of arable land, 5½ acres of cultivated meadow, 86½ acres of good, 85 acres of medium-sized natural meadow and 189 acres of scrapebø. The harbor passage was in disarray. Mills 1 and 2 hardly had little wood, but each of them could sell timber for low grade around the year. Mills 3, 5 and 7 had some forest and each could sell nicer timber for 10 spd. All items were lightly used, had no signs of wear and were cultivated as usual. At the 1918 census, there were 34 acres of arable land, 3 acres of artificial meadows and 72 acres of natural meadows. Allehelgen's estate eight 8 laup in Øvre Graudo in 1647. Hannibal Sehested got a king's lease in 1649 on the leidang 2 pounds 2 buckskins and 2 goatskins. In the same year, Sehested got an agreement with the king 8 laup in Øvre Graudo. On this there were 2 pounds of butter, 2 buckskins and 2 goatskins in rent, 8 dollars in taxes, 2 dollars in subsistence money, 2 dollars in labor money and 2½ dollars 16 shillings. in fee to the owner. Sehested let this estate be returned to the king in 1651, who in 1657 sold it to Gabriel Marselis. The tax census 1657 for the Finnegodset reports that it belonged to 8 laup in Øvre Graudo and that the tenants were Olav, Olav and Lars.
Olav, Gitle, Lars and Olav were users in 1661 and paid a total of 12 rd. in tax. Lars was discharged from military service in 1660. In 1664 there were six users: Olav Ivarson, Gitle Olavson, Knut Olavson, Lars Arneson, Olav Larsson and Olav Sjurson. As mentioned on Flatekvål, Olav Øvre Graudo exchanged with Svein Flatekvål in 1662. Gitle testified in the big forest case in 1670 that he had cut timber in Raundalens Almenning in 1677. Åmund was a warehouseman in 1669 and was then a tenant at Graudo. Klas Miltzow was the owner of all of Øvre Graudo in 1680 and 1691. Knut used 3 laup, Torstein 2 and Gitle 1 laup. The owners in 1695 were Henrik Miltzow of 4 laup and Hans Nilsson 4 laup. Torstein used 2 laup, Viking 4 and David 2 laup.
The 1701 census has four users: Gitle Olavson b. 1624, David Vikingson b. 1665, Torleiv Brynjulvson b. 1669 and Viking Brynjulvson b. 1657. Sjur, Olav, Torleiv and Viking were users in 1715. In 1723 there were six users: Sjur , Olav, Torleiv, Viking, Brynjulv and Viking.

Thank you for being kind on the first read through.
Please suggest proper edits where needed if you find I’ve used the wrong term. It gets confusing sometimes about exchanging properties or leasing properties or receiving from King, etc.. |

My next comment is on a totally different subject. When I replied to this post by you, the web site worked fine and my comment was posted correctly. When I post a comment on your other thread I get
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
Now my post does get posted on your thread accurately but I then need to go back to Norway Heritage start page and start over.
Very wierd since the start of your two threads look the same. Why this happens I have no idea. |

Back to the subject of your original post. I once ventured to translate a paragraph on Bjermod Aagedal born about 1380 in Bjelland. Band I. Gards og ættesoge side 14. Even tho the paragraph was fairly short it was a real slog and left me not wanting to ever do that again.
Kudos to you.

I noticed that there was a post on the Cecilia thread and I was able to read it where you acknowledged that you agreed that she was not the correct person, so on my end everything was working and readable |

I’m not sure if this was your addition on the profile for him, but this is how Google translates the little biography
In Danish!
Bjermod Ytre Ågedal in Bjelland], father of the illegitimate son Tjodolf Bjermodsson, who was the grandfather of Bjermod Torsteinsson [Foss in Lyngdal]. According to witness statements from 12/3-1553, a Pål Torgrimsson (Bjermod Torsteinsson's friend) had never seen biermo on outer Ockerdall in his time, nor had Tjodolf's [Bjermodsson's] mother carried Bjermod's keys and locks (DN XXI no. 985, Vigmostad church) ). The text can be interpreted as saying that Pål Torgrimsson never saw the Bjermod who lived at Ytre Ågedal, or that he never saw that Bjermod was present at Ytre Ågedal. The testimony may also indicate that Tjodolf's parents did not live together, and if it was considered credible, would weaken Bjermod Torsteinsson's chances of winning an odels case. Bjermod must also have been the father of Torborg Bjermodsdotter in Sør-Audnedal, who had died before 1507

Did not mean to post twice.
I have now read your whole translation and am even more impressed. Good work.
Not my translation. But the gist of the story comes from 1553 as that is when a group of leading men of Bjelland met to discuss the case where one of the grandsons of Bjermod claimed inheritance to Aagedal., A document exists that discusses the case. Without that document (document on skin of course) the history of this family would not be so well known. Or perhaps not know at all.
The google tranlation is fairly good and can if you know some of the background give a fairly clear idea of what the case was about.
Your Google translation from Danish is more accurate than mine from Norwegian also on Google. One badly translated word in the Norwegian translation throws the whole thing off.
Google Norwegian gives this sentence.
Bjermod [p%C3%A5 Ytre Ågedal in Bjelland], father of the unmarried son Tjodolf Bjermodsson, who was the grandfather of Bjermod Torsteinsson [p%C3%A5 Foss in Lyngdal].
He was an illegitimate son not an unmarried son.
Shows how careful one must be to get the translation right.

I do not want to quibble but this paragraph here could use a little work.
Øvre (Upper) Graudo.
In 1661, the land commission brought up Øvre Graudo under Finnegodset with 8 laup in debt, four users and that there was a wood forest and a hop farm for domestic use. In the register of 1723, the same is the case with five users. There was some pine forest to wallow in the house with, peat forest and hop fields. The garden was easy-going and had good grain soil.
The sentence about the pine forest to wallow in the house with peat forest and hop fields. The garden was easy-going and had good grain soil could use a little different translations.

I’m wondering if the artificial intelligence that is moving into the human realm so quickly will be helpful or harmful in historical translations of dormant languages? |
