[Gjest Jeff Erickson]

Thank you AstridThe passage actually readsGuttorm Koldbjornsson d. ca 1688 på reise fra England, Brosønn av forrige, sonn av Kolbjørn, LoveDoes this mean he died on his way from England?Are there any records that would show how long he may have been in England?

[Gjest Astrid Ryen]

Yes, he died on th his way home.The fact that he died on his way home from England may have been mentioned in some probate record. (Bygdebøker do not always refer to the sources that have been used).If you give the name of this Bygdebok, maybe someone in this forum could help you.

Guttorm used the farm Varild Østre from 1674, when his uncle died, to about 1688, when he died himself. There was a probate after him in 1692. The book does not say anything about how long he stayed in England. His youngest son was born in 1684.Berit

Thank youI never imagined farmers travelling to England back in the 1600's. Is it know farmers in general would have gone to England

[Gjest Per Håkon Christiansen]

You still forgot a couple of words, Astrid, rendered here in CAPITAL letters:(A sister of hers married to Finn Torgerssøn at Halsen). They had no children, and Kristoffer's sister Randi, widow after Tor Hem, AND ANNA, married to Lars Jensson, LOVE were heirs.
