Hello all,
I need a bit of help deciphering a name on a birth record that is confounding me.
The record is for 5 April 1708 in Bamble, Telemark, (the second record for that month.) http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20061201010059.jpg
the father's name is Soren but I cannot make out the rest (Sorte? Boen...?); the child's name is Christen (at least I hope this is the record : I am trying to find the birth record for "Christen Sorensen")
Thanks to anyone who can give me any assistance! |

Yes, it looks like it says Søren Sorte Bouens søn Christen.
Sortebougen is a farmname in Bamble in census-1801, so I guess that where Søren is from.

It is a baptismal record for Christen Sørensen and the father is Søren Sorte Bowen. (= Sortebougen Strand Plads as Jan Peter points out)
All bapt records give the farm/place where the father (and the family) lives.

Thank you, both of you! That was going to be my next question: finding out exactly where Søren was from and if that was a farm. This was one of my missing links and an interesting discovery for me!
I do have another question: although I have never found it online, I am wondering if there are scanned copies of farms in Bamble online that I have missed. Do any exist? Questions about farms in certain areas of Telemark are beginning to mount up for me, and I think that Sortebougen is another one added to the list!

I just found this Probate record for the very same Christen Sørensen and have a question. Christen died in 1748 and probate was granted giving his wife and children the inheritance including the land (heri medregnet jord) but I am confused about what precedes thi "Brt. 115 - 0 - 6 4/49 Net. 7 - 2 - 17". Is this the location of the property/farm?
Thank you! |

The "Brt. 115 - 0 - 6 4/49, Net. 7 - 2 - 17" is a figure for the property's value in old Norwegian currency. Brt = gross value, net = Net value.
The net value of the estate is the estate's total value substracted any debt and the probate expenses.
No gps coordinates...
