Please explain -- Lars Johannesson Tjernagel, nordre farm ownership

[Merle Nostbakken]

In the Gards og Ættesoge for Sveio Vol 1: Gamle Valestrand Kommune, side 342: "Han åtte og bnr. 2 i Tjernagel, nordre som han brukte ei tid." I am having difficulty translating "åtte" in this context. I think that, overall, the text refers to Lars previously farming in Tjernagel, but am not sure. Where would I find the description of this event in a bygdebok?

 

Thanks for your help on this line of text.

"åtte" is past tense of "å eige" - to own.

 

"Han åtte og bnr. 2 i Tjernagel, nordre som han brukte ei tid." 

= He also owned holding No. 2 in Tjernagel nordre, which he used for some time
