[#75567] Translation of profession

[Gjest Roberta Sue Halliday]

I have just started using the parish records. In front of 2 people, in 4 places, I see the profession Oprigarfmand, I think. One of the places it can be found is Kongsberg, Buskerud, Birth & Baptism, 1795 - 1816, Page 131 in 1810. The name is Erich Olsen Nordlöv. I'm assuming that Nordlöv is a farm or district. Thank you in advance for your help.

It starts with Sp.... For me it looks like he was a Spigersmeed? (spikersmed). A smith(blacksmith) making nails.

[Gjest Torodd Kinn]

I came to the same reading as Berit.I don't think Nordløv is a place. It sounds like a typical Swedish family name, because of the last part, -løv.

[Gjest Bjørg Hukkelberg]

Can this be the man? He is a blacksmith. There is no farm in Kongsberg called Nordløv in 1801Lenke

Hello again. Just wanted to thank all of you for your quick responses. A blacksmith works for me! I will keep all the info. Sorry I took so long but I needed help in responding as I don't know Norwegian.
