Dear James, I am not acquainted in the Hof Aasnes area, so the farm names may not be correct, but I read the text as follows: "Ole Xstens(en) [Liebergsfossen] og Johanne Hansd(atter) b(arn) N(omine) Kirstj, F(addere) Soren Jons(en) og Soren Arnes(en) Lille Sonsterud, Gunnild Syversd(atter) Ingelsrud, Ragnild Olsd(atter) Toverud" Hopefully this gives some meaning to you? Very sincerely yours, Lars E.
