Question about Norge—Tinglysningskort, 1640–1903 [Del C][MMHT-78F]
This batch is very different than the others I've done from this project and from the examples in the instructions. The cards don't contain a lot of information. I assume the person in the top left would be the main person (hovedperson). Should I use the Pakke nr. for the folio number? Any other information I should know about these?

Thank you for your question:
Please read and follow the Field Help, Folio Number, instructions and example, as well as the How to Index the Principal Person on the Probate Card example. Neither of these examples shows “Pakke Nr” as the number to index in this field. We should mark this field <blank> on this batch
Thank you.

I don't work on these and don't know the language, but I think you are correct. I used Google Translate and it seems these are probate case cards. They have the main person in the left corner and possibly the name of the spouse (Gjenlevende Ektefelle) when applicable, the folio number, and a year. So, you will be indexing the primary and then the relatives.
Maybe since I answered this will move the question to the top of the pile and someone who knows the project or a moderator will help you more!
Good luck!

I humbly disagree with the "Accepted Answer".
Pakke translates to Package in English.
A Folio by definition is: an individual leaf of paper or parchment, numbered on the recto or front side only, occurring either loose as one of a series or forming part of a bound volume. As a verb in law terminology folioed is defined: to mark each folio in (a pleading or the like) with the proper number.
Both of the examples for Hovedperson (Principle) do index a number which appears to be a folio number on the card. Although it doesn't say Folio on the card, the number is entered in the Følgenummer (Folio Number) field.
The Slektning (Relative) example does not index any number because it is not on the entry form.

We are to use the Project instructions, field helps and the examples of how to index the images.

We know that EVERY type of document cannot possibly be included in the project instructions. Clearly, this is a folio (package) number on the shared batch. The examples don't have any clue for the transcriber that the number they are indexing is a folio number. At least Baird's batch does. Really, if we followed the project examples and only indexed the ones that are in the examples, we would be making a serious mistake.

We need a batch no to correctly answer your question.
Also if it is in an language other than english it needs to be answered by folks that know that particular language.

@scable2001 The batch code is in the first post, it has not been submitted. It is very easy to use Google Translate to know that Pakke translates to package in English and to translate every other word on that image. Of course the project instructions are in English when you choose the proper Settings.

Do these "buckets" also index and review batches? Or are they just "buckets" that understand a foreign language?

Thanks for your answers. As Melissa indicated, the examples don't give any indication that the number they call the folio number is in fact a folio number. One of them just has an S. before the number they call the folio number (which might be an abbreviation of Side (pronounced SEEDUH), which is the Norwegian word for page), and the other one has nothing before the number they call the folio number. The accepted answer says none of the examples show Pakke nr. as the number to index in this field, but nor do they contain the word Følgenummer before what they call the folio number either, so I think Pakke nr is just as valid as S. or nothing, especially after reading Melissa's definition of folio and one I found myself, which was very similar. I think I'm going to call the pakke number the folio number, and if the reviewer doesn't like it, they can change it. For the record, I know Norwegian and didn't see anything to clear things up in the Norwegian instructions. I am also curious as to what scable2001 means by "bucket".
