Name of a Norwegian Parish (Prestgjeld not sogn)
Anyone have any suggestions for the parish named in this confirmation record?
This is in the column for the person's birth information: 24 Juni 1808 i …. Præstegjeld. The date is either his birth date or christening date. I think the name is likely ending with a possessive S, that is, …'s, without the apostrophe that English uses.
Here is the full page where is is located in entry 26: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070603510230
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

After looking at this for a while and considering several possibilities for the name of the clerical district, I believe it is Grytten in Møre og Romsdal. There is a Hans born on 24 June 1808 in that parish whose father is Siver (indexed as Siuer) Erlands(sen).
That indexed record can be found here: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000012528862.

Thank you! That is exactly the conclusion I had come to but was concerned about the distance of 110 miles between Grytten and Lom where the confirmation was held even with the birth dates matching. I am very happy to have your independent confirmation.
