Finding Erik Christensen's parents has been a dead end for many years. I just had a breakthrough finding probates for him and first wife (Sophie Andersdatter), as well as, bapt. record for son (Christen Eriksen, b. 1770). However, all this new info is not paying off. I can't find his birth in Oyestad church books circa 1740, can't find son in 1801 census. Also, I can't read farm names to verify parish on his marriage or bapt. record for son.
Is there anything in English that would help understand the probates? Would his birthplace or father be mentioned anywhere? I would be helpful to see one typical probate translated completely to better understand the structure etc.

There is a long paragraph as part of the marriage record - can anyone translate that as well?
