Hello. I am just beginning to research my family in Norway. I found them in the 1865 census, but I hope someone can help me understand what I found: • Ingebrigt Osmundsen, Føderaadsmand, born at Sveens Præstegjeld in 1799 • Anna Olsdatter, born at Sveens Præstegjeld in 1800 • Martha Ingebrigtsdatter, hjælper sin Moderen med Huusholdningen, born at Sveens Præstegjeld in 1844 They lived at Rossehoug (Nordskog), Hordaland. Municipality Sveio. I have found Nordskog on the map near Sveio. Is Nordskog the farm name, or is Rossehoug the farm name? I can't find where this is. Where is Sveens Praestegjeld? Also, are you able to translate their occupations for me? Thank you, Sara Bristol Washington state, USA
