Agree with Harald, that this is not about hay, but about the situation after the Black Plague. My suggestion: "Storytellers say that some farms were empty after the black plague. People died like flies. On some farms, everyone died, on others most of the people died." Marianne

[In the event there no offspring son or daughter to inherit the farm or file a claim to the land then the king could take possession from 1420. They themselves determined that when the farm was without owners, so shall this abandoned farm fall to the nearest neighboring farm.] Would rather be : It even happened that no offspring (heir) later could take possession. We can show this from a Royal decree from 1420. It states that when the farm is abandoned like that, it shall belong to the nearest farm. Stein N. Wisted

I would like to determine the father of my grandfather, Nels Anderson. That was the name he went by here in Minnesota. His mother we know as Gunvor Endresdatter Thorstad, born 1820 in Svien, Wangs, Oppland. Nels has a give birthdate of about 1850. We believe he was illegitimate and was born in Norway. His mother emigrated in 1864 as the wife of Knut Reierson Lie. The name of the father may or may not be Anders Bjornson. Any help that anyone could give in the matter would be very greatly appreciated. You can reply off-list if you wish. Be

I am struggling, trying to translate the farm history of Lædgsvoll. I have been using Einar Haugen dictionary, but it doesn't make sense to me. I would appreciate help/correction to my translation below the original paragraph. Thank you! Sogemenner segjer at sume gardar lagdest øyde etter Svartedauden 1350.

kan noen hjelpe meg å finne forfedre til Axel Sigfred Gustav Gunnar Leween, født i Gamla Uppsala 18 februar 1875 ? -- Håkon Jensen hakonj@c2i.net

På www.ancestry.com (Social Security Death Index / SSDI)findes én Gunnar Olson, som døde i oktober 1971. Han var født 27. marts 1899, og boede ved sin død i Larchmont, Westchester County, New York.

There are 137 listings for Jørgensen and 94 for Sørensen in the telephone directory 2000 for Arendal, Aust-Agder. None for Jørgenson, none for Sørenson. Are you looking for living or dead relatives? Any first names? Regards, Inger > looking for relatives in Norway..... Sorensons, and Jorgensons in the > Arendahl area to be specific. > > Thnaks for yoour help in advance.

Thanks to those who helped with the translation. I am sorry that I didn't put in enough information. The parish was Vemmelev, District was Slagelse, County was Soro, Denmark. Tamara

Jørgenson/Jørgensen? What I mean is that Norwegian surnames usually end in -sen, not -son Also, the place name (if this is the place in southern Norway) is spelled Arendal these days. That might help you get more out of your search. Marianne
