Would someone please translate the parish record of the marriage (Ekteviede) of Niels Olsen and Johanne Hansdstter? It is in Hedmark, Ringsaker-1839-1850 Klokkerbok. 1848 page 416, number 3, January 5. I especially do not know the farms and what the columns on the right say. Thank you kindly for your time.

I would like to know what the word 'banns' means. Thank you so much for responding to my request.

[Gjest Robert Helfer]

Banns refers to the public announcement, usually on Sunday in the church, of a proposed marriage. I think the specific customs varied, but I had always heard that the banns were read on three successive Sundays before the actual marriage. -- MVH, Robert

Thank you, Robert, I see that I forgot to write the first Sunday - it was All Saints' Sunday which in 1847 was November 7th.Laila.
