I've been finding some records from some of my Norwegian ancestors in the digital archives, and I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out some of the words on them.
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070904700233.jpg
In this one, I am looking at entry 47, John. In the parents names column, I am trying to figure out what the word is before Anders and what the words are before Karen.

In this one, I am looking at entry 25, John and Anna. In the groom and bride name column, what is the word between skølelærer and John, and the word before Anna? Are these titles?

In this one, I am looking at entry 17, John Andreas. In the Daabs-Datum column, there is some kind of abbreviation there. Does anyone know what it means? In the "Om ægte eller uægte født" column, it also looks like there is an abbreviation there. Does anyone know what that one means? Lastly, in the "Om og af hvem hjemmedaab ", it looks like it says hjemmedaab af....can anyone tell what that last word is?

In this one I am looking at entry 8, Johannes Peder Asbjørn. I am trying to figure out what it says under his parents names. I assume that it is where they were living, but I thought they were living in Namsos, but that doesn't look like what it says there.

In this one, I am looking at entry 9, Jon Widtzø. I am trying to figure out what his cause of death says. My best guess is Mavebetennelse. Does that look right, or is it something else?
Thanks for any help! I am not very good at reading old cursive!!

#47 the word before father's name is Inderst -- employee who may or may not be related, after father's patronym is the name of the farm they reside on and the word og - and.
On the wedding record ungk. is an abbreviation of ungkarl or bachelor. Pige means unmarried woman, girl, or spinster.
The abbreviation in the illegitimate or illegitimate column is do. short for ditto or ".
One every entry it says "Moderen indletet" which I take to mean the mother has been reintroduced to the congregation after the uncleanliness of giving birth--a totally creepy idea which is kind of out of date most everywhere by 1870.
Mavebetenelse looks pretty good to me. |

Thank you so much! Those answers are very helpful!
That "Moderen indletet" thing is very interesting. It didn't even occur to me that something like that would be on there. |

Skolelærer (not skølelærer) = Schoolteacher
Mavebetendelse = Gastritis
Moderen indledet = The Mother introduced (to the congregation). All women that had given birth, was introduced by the priest the first time they returned to the church after the birth. The priest brought the lady at the door, and followed her up the aisle to her seat while the congregation were watching. Women that had given birth, had to stay away from the church for normally 6 weeks, because they were "not clean". After the solemn introduction, they were clean. This introduction applied only for married women. Those who had illegitimate children, had to wait for the introduction until they eventually got legitimate children.
Regarding entry 17, John Andreas:
Do. = Ditto = "Same as line above"
s.D. = Stadfestelsesdato = vindication date. In case of home christening, baptism was later confirmed in the church. The date would be the same as the line above.
"Om og af hvem hjemmedøbt": Hjemmedøbt af Faderen. Christened at home by the father. The home christening applied if the child for health reasons could not be brought to church. In the Norwegian church, any adult baptized person can perform home baptism. Normally it would be confirmed in church at a later stage, when the health risk was over. |
