Hello to the forum. I am pretty new to genealogy and Norwegian genealogy even more so. I have printed page upon page, and read so much my eyes are going cross. I have been learning a bit of Norwegian so that it makes it easier for me to translate parish records, but I am having a hard time with the Norwegian in some of the "Gothic" writing style. Even though I have printed pages with Nordic Gothic examples, I still cannot understand some pieces. Could you please help?

The first one I'm working on is a birth and baptism record for an ancestor in 1670-1671. My ancestor is on the left page, number 30. If the translating the three lines is too much, could you please help me with the mother's first name? I see that she is Rasmusdatter (Rasmus' daughter).

I have tried to add the direct link to the Norwegian digital archives. I hope it works because I'm not sure the image I was trying to put it would have worked (I didn't look like it was going to).

Thank you so much in advance for any help you can give.

It appears to be the baptism celebrated on 26 Oct 1671 for a child Rasmus. Without studying a whole lot it appears that the mother's name is Synova, or Signora but I will leave that to others on site more versant than I.

Kċarto, if you had been a fly on the wall (let's skip how weird it would be for you to be a fly and one on my wall), you would have seen my jaw drop . . . literally. Then you would have seen me excitedly going through the tree you linked me to. At first I was excited so see how far people on the site had gotten; then (and to warn you, I'm tooting my own horn), I was so proud how I followed my line correctly in a foreign language (for me) and in a handwriting I can barely read.

I had never heard of the site and probably would have never found them on my own. Thank you so much for the help. Have a great rest of your week!!!
