Asperheim... and help with translation please?

[Rick Sharp]

Hi,

I'm trying to find out a bit more about my Norwegian roots. My Great-Great-Great Grandfather and Grandmother emigrated to America in the 1850's and I have been able to find their birth records in the scanned documents. Unfortunately I can't understand anything more than their names and the dates. I do know my Great-Great-Great Grandmothers parents names and can see those match. Is anyone able to transcribe and translate the entries in the links below for me?

Mallene Amundsdatter b.05-Jan-1821

SAB, Lærdal Sokneprestembete, Parish register (official) no. A 4, 1805-1821, p. 234-235

Sever Jensen Asperheim b. 23-July-1820

SAB, Lærdal Sokneprestembete, Parish register (official) no. A 4, 1805-1821, p. 278-279

(Last entry but one)

I think Asperheim is an unusual name and may relate to a farm near Ardal in Sogn og Fjordane - or that might be a coincidence.

The records are difficult to read anyway of course, never mind not knowing the language! Many thanks for any help.
