Thanks

Hi Denise! Slette means a plain or level, flat land. The -n is the definite article, so Sletten = 'the flat land' Sometimes it is suffixed to a farm name to indicate a subfarm. Olaf Can anyone tell me what this name means in english? JUst wondering, I married into the name and am interested. Thanks

Some "native" comments: The translations are - of course - correct. Hamar diocese (bishopric; Oppland and Hedemark counties), which Rendalen belongs to today, was established in 1863 (re-established, as it existed before the reformation i 1537). Before, the two counties was part of Kristiania diocese (Kristiania=Oslo; Akershus is the castle/fortress of Oslo, used as name of the county around Oslo, and apparently sometimes as name for the diocese) This indicates a time limit for the text (although the publisher not necessarily was updated on the organization of the church). Skondøl or Skandøl parish is not known to me. (someone else?) As a first guess, I would say these paintings (drawings?) are made in the 1830s or 40s. (I do not know, just guess.) I am not able to see any signature on prints. Are there any? The enumerated prints appears to belong to a (or two different?) series. One possibility is a work on Norwegian folk costumes issued by the painter J. Frich in 1848. (Although he seemingly signed his paintings.) there was, however, numerous others making such studies. The German text can readily be explained. In Europe in the decades after 1820, there was a large interest in folklore, folk costumes, folk tales, etc. This was the time of romanticism (and national romanticism). The ultimate ideal was the people least influenced by the degrading urbanism, civilication, etc. And thus, rural Norway (+ Sweden, Iceland) gained considerable interest, especially in Germany, where they saw us as the most pure and unspoiled germanics.

Hi Rob! Agershus is the modern Akershus. The Rejndalen is the modern Rendalen in Hedmark fylke. It is now two parishes, Øvre and Ytre Rendal. Obiously the Agerhus diocese was more extensive that the current Akershus fylke. Rendalen was part of Agershus Stift in the mid-17th century Somewhere I've seen a map of those divisions but I can't find it now. The fact of the German makes me certain the book your picture came from was probably published in Denmark. Olaf Can anyone tell me what the writing on the document linked below means in English? Also, does anyone know about when/where it was made? Thank you in advance for any ideas. http://home.epix.net/~robgray/temp/print1.jpg Rob USA

I have ancesters from Norway and I was > curious what these prints were.... Then stick around because this is a great group for Scandanavian research. Agershus is mentioned quite frequently here by people researching their Norwegian ancestors and there is a lot of information available. Give the group some names, birthdates, ages, immigration dates etc to the best of your ability & knowledge and you could make some progress. Bob
