translation from passenger list?!?
medic12965	My g-grandfather was Olav Aslakson Mosli. I know he sailed on the Montebello on March 28, 1902 headed for wisconsin. I found the passenger list on the digitalarkivet site I am quite sure. All of the info is correct....age..birth place,etc. In the last name column under Aslakson it says Dysil@Dysje What does this mean? Are they place names? Any help would be appreciated. Ryan
Hopkins	You make this very difficult to even consider helping - why no URL link to the finding you say you've found? It is probably a place name. The 1900 Norwegian census shows farms with names much like Dysje in Sogn og Fjordane, Rogaland, Telemark and Aust-Agder areas of Norway.
ninakarls	I hope this link will work: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=emikra1&gardpostnr=141905&merk=141905#ovre Anyway, this seems to be the guy in 1900-census: 1900-telling for 0834 Vinje Mosli (farm) Aslak Ols. m hf g Salmager (saddlemaker) 1825 t n s Gunhild Olsd. k hm g Kone (wife) 1836 Kviteseid Brb n s Olav Aslakson m s ug Skomager (shoemaker) 1875 Kviteseid Brb There's also a farm called Dysje in Vinje
Borge	@ is used as a separator between two alternative readings of the original when it is impossible to decide which is the correct one. Obviously the transcriber had problems making out the farm name
