Please help with another Danish Probate Record
I found this probate record for an ancestor and I can find his name, probate date, death date, wife's name, daughter Johanne Rasmussdatter's name, but I am wondering if there are any more children listed or how old Rasmus was when he died. Also, his profile in Family Search gives him the additional surname of Skovfoged, which I believe means he was a forester/ranger. If there were anything that indicated that could have been his profession, I would love to know that as well. Thank you so much!

There aren't any more children listed. The Joen Rasmusen mentioned is Johanne Rasmusdatter's uncle (fahrbroder-father('s) brother) and he has been assigned to be her guardian (formynder).
As far as Rasmus Rasmusen's profession, the probate says he is a "selv eier gaardmand" which is a farmer who owns his own farm. That's not to say that he couldn't have also been a skovfoged. A Google search for "skovfoged" gives this definition (translated with Google translate from Danish to English): "Forest warden (forest technician) . . . is a person who is primarily employed in forestry as an operations manager, with responsibility for organizing workflows for employees, disposing of machines, sales of forest products, manages game and hunting conditions etc."
I didn't find any mention of his age when he died.
