Cicilia Pedersdatter Riisnaes of Sunnifjord?

[Richard Einerson]

Hi,

 I am seeking help in interpreting a probate document from Sogn og Fjordane, Yttre Sogn, that was filed in Lavik in 1806. It was for an unmarried female, Cicilia Pedersdatter Riisnaes of Askvoll Parish. It appears she was buried on Askvoll on 2nd November 1805. This lady was listed as a tenant on the Losneoen farm in Gulen Parish in 1801. She and my ancestor and namesake, Einer Andersen Tjon shared an illegetimate daughter named Synneve in 1798. "Einer Andersen Tjon of Leganger" is clearly listed in this probate along with his daughter, Synneve Einersd., age 8. There is a great deal of information in this probate, but I am not fluent in reading gothic Norwegian script. Is there anyone who can help me discern the highlights of this document? For historical purposes, I would like to find out where Cicilie came from. I found a baptism for a Cecilie Pedersd. Stromen in Askvoll on 22nd January 1762, but Proate documents for Peder Corneliussen and Peder Giertsen Stromen do not list her as being alive at the time the probates were filed. I have used the advanced serach on your excellent Digitalarkivet site but cannot find a match. Any help in translating the probate for biographical information will be greatly appreciated!

 

Regards, Richard.

 

The probate I am trying to get help on is from Yttre Sogn: Volume 13, page 34a

Om noen kan tyde skriften i dokumentet, så kan jeg oversette til engelsk, om det kan bidra til att dette får en oppklaring.
