Jostein, if you could send the screenshots to me offlist, that would be fantastic. Regarding the entries for Ole E. ​Qværnholtet, there are some entries across the page from the one that contained the Gregers Olsen entry (I believe Gregers Olsen may have been the uncle of Ole Ericksen, although I have not yet established that with certainty). On page 523, there are a series of records that begin with the one that states "Obligation af 19 Juli 1844" and references Ole E. Qværnholtet, continuing through all of the next five entries that begin with the word "Execution". However, I don't think all of these entries qualify as "not too long". I am sensitive to the fact that I am asking too much, so I wonder if there are alternatives, such as paid services, that do this sort of thing? I appreciate your generosity and that of others on this list, and I don't want to ask more of that generosity than is reasonable. Again, thank you!
