Brand new to Norwegian Research. My daughter married a great young man with Norwegian Ancestory and I am just learning about Norwegian Research. Have several dictionaries and history books but need help with understanding nature of birth records for children who are illegitimate.. I have discovered the arkivverket.no web site and I am having a ball. The following is a record I am trying to understand. Source information: Sogn og Fjordane county, Tjugum in Balestrand, Parish register copy nr. A 1 (1853-1880), Birth and baptism records 1856, page 7. http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070306640484.jpg The child in question in Anna, fourth line from the bottom (17) From the 1865 Norway Census, I learned that her mother is Brita Endresdatter Farnæs, married with a second child. I was suprised to see that Anna Andersdatter Farnæs had uægte attached to her name in the census. It is common to continue attaching the label to the child? The second to last column on the right page I was told was Baptised at home and who performed the baptism. Is this correct? The last column on the right side is the person reporting the unwed status of the mother. It appears to be Endre Olsen Farnæs. Is this correct? Could this be her father? What is the line below the name? Thank you for any help, Dale E. Vaughn
