Kåre, how do you know that the widow Barbro Nilsdatter "Føderaadskone" (39 years in 1865) was the former owner of the farm and had sold the farm to Simon Sjursen (66 years in 1865)?
Lars Sjursen was baptized July 30 1820, see #71his parents were Sjur Simonsen and Barbraa Nielsdatter Lillevig.
Lars Sjursen and Ragnilde Andersdatter were married July 3 1846, see #51
Lars father was Sjur Simonsen and Ragnildes father was Anders Biørnesen Mykletveit.
Siur Simonsen, Lars father was not married at the census in 1801
Lars grandparents were Simon Siursen and Brita Larsdatter.

Hei Einar,
I used the translation of "Føderradskone" in this Dictonary.
Support recieved after giving ones estate to another, the retierment agreement, also named as "kår" =kaar, a sort of pensioner, receiving support from the new owners of the farm by contract made on the sale.

I also find this strange, "Føderaadskone" at age 39.
It´s a wrongspelling in the 1865 census about her age, she was older and Lars and Sjurs mother?

Thank you all - without your help I would have never gotten so far in such a short time -
I spent yesterday on a site of Voss geneaologist - looking through parish records - I can read the names pretty good now - but usually I cannot read the comments or extra relatives because of the old style handwritting - It took a while on the Amercian census for me to be able to recognize the different handwritting - I am sure it will just take time with these too. Again Thank you for everything

I have a question is Ragnhild a nickname or something - I do not follow how Ragnhild becomes Ranvei - I do realize there are mistakes in the census writting - but it seems this mistake is pased down through gernerations.
Thanks again - really I would never had made so much progress without all of your help

Hi,
both Ragnild (older spelling: Ragnil) and Ranvei (Ranveig) are old Norwegian names.
The spelling of a name could change from parish to parish or from priest to priest because of local pronunsations. The priest write down what he heard or what he ment was right.
He could never dream of we would be sitting working on a PC 150-200 years later wondering about that.

Take the most common name in Norway, mans name Ole: Ola, Olae,Olaij, Oluf, Oluff, Anlaf, Olav, Olaf, etc (nick name Laffen) and
Ragnhild: Ragnhil, Ragnheld, Ragnhilda, Ragnhilde, Ragnhill, Ragnhille, Ragnihl, Ragnilh, Ragnille etc.

You are welcome.
Torbjørn Johnsen and Brytha Bergesdatter married in 1778 in Evanger sub parish, he was from Evanger and she was from Mykletveit.
Down left page, 1. wedding after the heading: af Evanger annex#1

Feria 2 Paschatos For Enkemand (widower) Torbiørn Joensen Evanger og Pigen (and maid) Brytha Bergesdatter Møcheltveit.

Feria 2 means Tuesday and Pascha means Easter (Paschatos?), April 14.

Lillevik 1900, Sjur S (Simonsen) Lillevik, the 32 years old bachelor from the 1865 census was now married to Marie Haldorsdatter, 5 children, Nils, Ranvei, Martha, Kristine and Simon born 1868 married to Inga Knudsdatter, one daughter Mari born 1899.

I wish there was some way to "capture" these images of the parrish books - I have the sources listed from the parrish, date,page etc. I still have relatives who will not go near a computer... they do not know what fun they are missing!
So Mykeltveit - is the farm where Brytha came from - is there any place to look up these farms to see if they still exist today?
I was in Norway when I was a young girl - maybe 35 or 40 years ago I would love to go back now with all of this information and take another look.
