Oline Pedersdatter Birth Record translation assistance I would appeciate it if someone could take a look at my G-Grandmother's birth record here and tell me What is the word in front of father Peder Olsen Hjelmen's name? What are the words in front of mother's name? Whether you can make out any of the Godparents names? I think I see: Esvig___Olsen Hjelman Esvig Olava Olsdtr___ but not sure about this, can't make heads of tails of the rest. Any help would be gratefully accepted!
Since no one else has taken a stab, here is an attempt to be used only as a starting point please:
husman Peder Olsen Hjelmen kone Marta Eriksdatter
Christopher Njelson Esvig Ener Olson Halmon Bert J Normandsdt ____ Christian Christofferson so Esvig Olava Olsdtr Pens_____
The crosses written as part of a name are short for the crucifix = Christ. You should study the rest of the page to pickup the clerk's writing style and you may also enlarge this view in the box at the top--you are at 40% but 100% will help you seperate the letters etc.
Thanks very much both of you! I was thinking that the "Huemd" word was possibly a different occupation, and sure wasn't reading kone as kone! Learned something new for me in the Xtiane and Xtopher ... appreciate the lesson! Thank you for the assistance! Carra
