Dear List, Jostein helped me find one of the property records that interests me (my 2d great grandfather's purchase of the last farm he owned before he immigrated to the US). Under the best of circumstances, I could do no more than get the gist of the document, but unfortunately the handwriting is a bit scrawlish and hard to read. Can anyone help to transcribe it? *Permanent pagelink:* http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:tl_read?idx_id=17249&uid=ny&idx_side=-301 The entry of interest is the one on the left-hand page, about halfway down, that does not have the vertical line crossing through it, for Ole Eriksen. Thanks. -- James Aylard
