[#50891] Translation, please for Gunnild Olsdatter of Finnøy

[Gjest Marlys Nelson]

Can someone translate the entry for Gunnild Olsdatter in the 1827 imigration record of Finnøy church? (page 314) Lenke

[Gjest Tor L. Larsen]

Her name was Gunnild Olsdatter Graskjønaasen. The last is a farm name that today could be spelt Grastjønnåsen. She was 33 years old, and a maid-servant at Ole Selvaag´s. She came from the parish of Hjelmeland, and had written statements from Hjerthus, dated 29. May 1826, and from the vicar of Hjerdal, dated 20. June 1826. What Hjerthus means, I don´t know.

[Gjest Tor L. Larsen]

I am not sure it says Hjerthus. And anyway the name and also Hjerdal may have a different spelling today.

Thank you, Tor....Gunnild was born in Hjartdal parish, so that would explain that entry. She married a Quaker in Finnøy and left for America in 1831. I am trying to locate her parents, who sold their farm in Hjartdal in 1803. Thanks again for your assistance!
