I do not know how to find my prior posts on the above subject, sorry for the duplication.

I googled my gg grandfather and found a web site named Valdres Sorenskriveri. Advancing to Oystre Slidre hered which brought me to a page with several columns 1. Lien Sondre
2. Gronaasan (Craeter) 3. Tosten Torgrimsen.

Could someone translate this information. Thanks in advance.

I believe what you refer to is this
Sorenskriveri = district recorder
Column 1 is for the name of farms, in your case Lien Søndre = Southern Lien
column 2 is for a subfarm, in your case Grønaasen (sæter) = Grønaasen (mountain farm)
Column 3 is for the name of the owner or user, in your case Torsten Torstensen.
