Hello!

I've located an interesting entry for one of my ancestors in the parish records of Gran. He is the first person listed, Hans Andersen Dotsat. The actual record can be viewed here:
https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/8968/529

I'm having trouble deciphering the last place name in this segment: "Fra Dotset paa Vestre Toten, födt ...".

Thank you for taking the time to help me out!
Stephanie

That makes a lot of sense, because I did find a birth record in Dotsat for someone by the name of Hans Andersen... for a while I thought had the wrong person!

Thank you!
