[#18557] Probate in Norfjord (Vik gard)

[Gjest Patricia Carlsen Mikkelsen]

Can you please tell me the contents of the probate record for Marte Mattisdatter, Vik gard, 1744-1747, page 77, protcol 9. Marte was married to Jens Jensen Vik (my 5th g-grandfather).After Marte, Jens was married to Ane Knudsdatter, but I believe that Marte was the mother of my ancester, Jacob Jensen (b. ca 1741 at Vik). I hope the probate record will verify this for me. I believe that other children of Jens and Marte were Jens, Brithe, Mathis and Marte.Helsing, Patricia
