  1. On page 67 about three quarters down the page on the left page left column record number 10 it says Even Larsen. What farm is he from? I'm looking for an Even Larsen from Lihjell or Liahjell.
  2. If this if Even Larsen Lihjell or Liahjell what year is the record, it is 1801 or 1802? Hard to read the last number?
  3. What is the moveable feast date? Is it 20 p. Trinitatis? Not an expert reading moveable feast days yet. :-)

    The farm is Liagield. That would be the same as Ligield or Lihjell. Remember that names of people and places were spelled like the person writing the record thought they should be spelled according to how he (the writer) pronounced it.

    Since Lars was born in 1786 and he is listed as 16 1/2 years old, this should be 1802. However, 1802 is on the next page so that can't be. I believe it must be 1801. Interesting that 1800 is missing!

    You hit the feast date right on. It is the 20th Sunday after Trinity.
