I'm using a Norwegian book which contains the following: "... matros, budde i Stavanger (Sjċ Saml.Stav.hist. bd.IV, s.362), gm. 1722 Inger ...."
I can understand everything outside the parentheses - he was a sailor, he resided in Stavanger, he married in 1722 to Inger... But when it tells me to See Saml.Stav.hist Vol IV, page 362 ... I'm lost.
Any ideas what publication Saml.Stav.hist might be?
Just for your information - The book I'm using is Riska- Gardar og tettstad by Eivind Smith, published 1993. My quote is taken from page 375 of that book. |

Hi Hopkins,
....matros/seaman/sailor, lived in Stavanger (See Book collection. Stavangers Historie b. IV, p. 362), gm/married to 1722 Inger.....
I am not sure if 1722 is referring to the year or number 1722 in a register or something like that.
gm. means married to or with.

Kċre, thank you very much for your interpretation. A book collection for me to search for, sounds like fun.
