Finding probate records

[Ken Ogren]

Family Search is suggesting that there are multiple probate records for Marit Torgersdatter.  One on 24 Jun 1794, and one on 15 Feb 1809. both list the location as Hæringstad, Hedalen, Nord-Gudbrandsdal, Oppland, Norway.  The information is not very detailed, and list her as child, and sibling respectively.  I have been trying to look in the probate records, but really can't seem to find anything helpful.  I have been looking here - https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/sk/browse?counties[]=05&municipalities[]=0515&start_year=1794&end_year=1809&text=.

I of course have the problem of not understanding the bulk of the writing.  If someone could point out what I am doing wrong, or let me know that continuing this search is the right approach I would appreciate it.

 

Family Search antyder at det er flere skifteopptegnelser for Marit Torgersdatter. Én 24. juni 1794 og en 15. februar 1809. Begge viser stedet som Hæringstad, Hedalen, Nord-Gudbrandsdal, Oppland, Norge. Informasjonen er ikke veldig detaljert og viser henne som henholdsvis barn og søsken. Jeg har prøvd å lete i skifteregistrene, men ser virkelig ikke ut til å finne noe nyttig. Jeg har sett her - https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/sk/browse?counties []=05&munesalities []=0515&start_year=1794&end_year=1809&text=.

Jeg har selvfølgelig problemet med ikke å forstå hoveddelen av skrivingen. Hvis noen kunne påpeke hva jeg gjør galt, eller gi meg beskjed om at det er riktig å fortsette dette søket, vil jeg sette pris på det.

Is this the same Heringstad as in found in the Vågå 1801 census?  I am hoping to find information about Marit's parents, or other family.  I see that there are many Torgersens, and Torgersdatters.  Is Torger Torgersen the father?

 

and this would be the 2nd record?
