| Can you tell me about this occupation? Does it translate correctly -- "cork cutter"? May these be corks for wine bottles or the like? That is what I think of when I hear the word "cork," but perhaps the literal translation isn't so. Thanks. |

Correct Terry, cork cutter, perhaps a "Korkeskjærer" worked in a cork factory.

| Good translation. If you need to translate other words this may be helpful. |

Column 2. Widow and yard worker Gulbrand Olsen and 7 children, ____. Does it say that 3 of her children are in America?
Column 3. Translation welcome, please. |
