Two questions about the 1920 census form, specifically for Hordaland county:
[1] Item 14 on the census form reads as follows: "Trossamfund: statskirken eller _______". My dictionary does not help me with trossamfund. What is the intent of this census item?

(2) Item 8 on the census form reads as follows: "Bierhverv (eller biintekt) (ja oder nei)". Again, bøkmal dictionary does not help. What is the intent of this census item?
