> Føderaadskone = a woman on state support Nope, she was not on state support. She, or her husband, had sold her farm and as part of the sale she was supported by the new owner. The new owner could be a relative (also one of her own children), or another buyer. As part of the deal, she would enjoy housing and life support in exchange for a reduction in the purchase price. The contract would normally be in force for the reminder of her life. John Morten
