Hello,
This is in Søre Aasen farm in Tysvær book 2 for my 3x great grandfather Einar Samuelsen 1753-1820 who married Kirsti Torstensdtr 1752-1836. Would anyone be willing to translate the following 2 sections?
"Han var frå Strandnes på Sandeid (Nesslekta nr. 318), og dei budde først nokre år på Graveråker i Skigelstrand i Vikedal."
I cannot find what Graveråker is.
"I 1801 må dei vere utegløymde i folketeljinga - kanskje var det ingen som kom på den avsidesliggande garden då. Dei var også nye her. I 1814 fekk han folgebrev, men betalte 5 Rbd til Sølvskatten i 1816 som folgemann."
Thank you for your help. |

Graveråker is a farm, probably a sub-farm under the main farm Skigelstrand in the parish of Vikedal.
So
"He was from Strandnes on Sandeid (Nesslekta nr. 318), and they first lived a year at Graveråker in Skigelstrand in Vikedal."
"In 1801 they must have been neglected in the census. - maybe there was no one who came to the remote garden. They were also new here. In 1814 he received a fogel letter, but paid 5 Rbd to the Silver Tax in 1816 as a fogel mann."
Fogel or kår is a bit complex and refers to "support received after giving one's estate to another"
So fogelmann or kårmann is
"A man who receives kår, a retired farmer living on his own farm with accomodation and support provided by the new owner of the farm, especially a son providing for his father."
And a fogelbrev is the document granting the fogel or kår.
Maybe one of the native Norwegians can provide a clearer explantation of the concept.

They were forgotten in the 1801 census.
Perhaps the farm was to far out in the wilderness, and they were new here.
1814 (he sold the farm) he recieved "Folgebrev" a legal right as "Kaarmann" on free supplies and a room on the farm as long as he lived, but still he had to pay 5 Specie-Daler to
"Sølvskatten " The Silver tax", a forced deposit on 2 Million Specie-Daler, to the New established "Norges Bank" Bank of Norway in 1816 |
