If you can re-find the record, send the Quick Link (what used to be called the Permanent Pagelink)..., not the permanent imagelink which only gets one the image without the all-important Source data one needs for one's records, and doesn't allow one to magnify the image very far. With the Quick Link or Permanent Pagelink we'd be able to see where the image came from, possibly supplement a transcription and/or translation with census or other data. Being able to magnify the image further would enable us to perhaps understand the writing for Ole's occupation and see for sure if the mother's name is Kjerstin or Kjersti. (I think it's Kjerstin because there's a squiggle after the i, but I can't tell for sure). It's Record 78 (not 76). Born 27 July 1833, Baptized 20 August 1833, Anne, legitimate birth. Parents are ___ Ole Johnsen og [and] Kjerstin Olsdatter [who reside at] Prestegaarden, Saudland. Anyone who can read this better, or know the location(s) in Norway that are noted, please correct what I may have gotten wrong.

In particular I want to learn about her parents. What was her father's occupation? and what is the word written after her mother's name?
