Hi. I have a couple questions on the word meanings and abbreviations in the 1865 census remarks column. Does the work praestefraskildt mean divorced? Also what does the abbreviation in the remarks column mean by "d.ae." I am trying to find out anything about my greatgrandfather but it is hard because his name was Ole Olsen. The only thing his family knew over here is that he changed his name to Ole Thon because there was too many Ole Olsen's. Now I understand why! He was born 1-3-1836 so if there is anyone who know's anything about him, I would appreciate it. He was from Etnedal. Love this website and enjoy reading all the postings. Thanks Again!!!!

Præstefraskild means divorced. Way back then, the divorces had to go through the priest. Directly translated it means that somebody is divorced by the priest.
Hi, Back then the church had their own court called the "Kapittel retten". It was used for the public in cases of immoral conduct and so forth. (Det fanst og ein eigen kyrkjeleg rettargang (Kapittelretten) for vanlege folk i saker som galdt usedeleg livsførsel, brot på kyrkjelege føresegner og liknande.) Regards Ellen
