Hello, In going through the following, I would like to find out what "Døpt" means. Is this a birth date or something else such as christening? I would also appreciate it if someone could correct some of the following in case I have them wrong: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peder Pederson Teigen (occupation) Yrke: Kårmann på Teigen under Sandvik, Luster (born) Født: 1809 Dulsviki under Lingjerde (?)

Notater De fikk ni barn. En av sønnene, Johannes Pedersen, fikk flytte-attest hos presten for å reise til Kvæfjord i Troms. Har ingen flere oplysninger om han. thank you Jeff Peterson

Is this a birth date or something else such as christening? Hi, Jeff. Here's a page done by one of the frequent posters here, which may be of use to you in cases like this. http://home.online.no/~otjoerge/files/word.htm Lots of good information; not just direct translations, but word endings, and so on. Hope this helps, Dave Hinz
