Help with Danish probate record

Jeniann Nielsen

I would appreciate some help with interpreting this probate record, it begins on the right side of the page.

I understand it's for Ane Jensdatter, widow of Jens Laursen of Uglerup. It names Jens, Anders, Lars, and Morten. I think these are sons? Not sure what else it says.

Thanks!

Hi Jeniann,

I am not seeing the record or a link to it. Could you supply one so we could see if we can help? (A link would be best).

Thanks.

Jeniann Nielsen

Oh my, I missed the link, sorry about that. Here's the record: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHV-B3PN-1Q7N?i=490&cat=478019

Thanks!

The only relationships that I can see are that Jens, Laurs, Anders and Morten are all "of age" children of Jorgen Laursen and Anne Jensdatter. I believe it also says that Anders and Morten are acting in behalf of their brothers.

The other men named here have to do with the probate process. Laurs Marchusen is the "fuldmegtig"-"head clerk", Jørgen Christensen and Morten Jensen are the "wärdingsmænd"-"appraisers". There is another Jørgen Christensen mentioned. I am not sure if he is the same as the appraiser named Jørgen Christensen, or if he is another man with the same name. It looks like it is saying that he is the "skifte skriveren"-"the probate clerk".

Sorry, "skifte skriveren" should have been "the probate scribe".

@Norm Baker , thanks so much! That's just what I needed to know.
