This is a rough translation: Supports them and the children with Spinding (spinning wheel) and Fladbrød baking (at the farm) in the winter, and Aannearbeide (what kind of work?) in the summer. With help from my friends on the Norway List, the guess would be annanarbeide or annenarbeide - other work OR it could be ONNE... which would be no work... a break from work... Have a nice day!

The correct nowadays spelling is onn, characterizing seasonal work on a farm. The 3 most important onn's is Vår-onn which took place in the spring. with ploughing and seeding. The hay onn in the middle of the summer with cutting and drying of the hay, and then the Skur-onn with harvesting grain etc in the autumn. This was usually intensive work, and many of the farms did hire extra labour in addition to the regular servants (tjener or dreng), cotters (husmenn)etc Ola -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] På vegne av Clark & Mieko Sendt: 2. oktober 2006 15:55 Til: [email protected]; Nor-Oppland Emne: Re: [Opp] Translation please - original record in Norwegian This is a rough translation: Supports them and the children with Spinding (spinning wheel) and Fladbrød baking (at the farm) in the winter, and Aannearbeide (what kind of work?) in the summer.
