Following is a transcribed record for my 2nd Great-Grandmother taken from the Digital Archives of Norway. I believe that I have managed to translate most of the record accurately, but am a little unsure about the note (morknader). The original reads, "Anmeldt personlig af Barnets Fader Anders Taraldsen Korslund. Far leierm 1 Mor leierm 1." I believe roughly translates to "Reviewed personally by child's father Anders Taraldsen of Korslund. Father leierm 1 Mother leierm 1." I am hoping that someone can confirm my translation of the record (located at the bottom of the image).

I can confirm your understanding of the "Merknader" (remarks), although I am not familiar with norwegian church records. The word "leierm" is apparently short for "leiermål" which also has a corresponding term "lägersmål" in swedish.

One note about your translation is, that "Anmeldt personlig af ..." would translate to "Reported in person by ...

  • Thank you. You have been very helpful. I have been struggling with this for some time, particularly the word "leierm" since I couldn't find it anywhere and assumed it was probably an abbreviation.
