[#2057] Borgerbrev

[Gjest robert d. sabo]

I need a couple of words defined. 1. Borgerbrev 2. Gjestgiver These relate to the same man. Another term is Bordarbeider. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks RDS

Borgerbrev = certificate of commercial citizenship (you needed a "borgerbrev" to run a business or be a master artisan in Norway). Gjestgiver = Innkeeper Bordarbeider = carpenter

[Gjest Kristian Fjeldsgård]

Borgerbrev: Letter of Citizenship Gjestgiver: Innkeeper or LandlordTo run an inn or other trade in the rural areas you had to be citizen in a town who had royal privilegues.Bordarbeider: The nearest i could think of is that the person is working on timbermill.

to end a projeckt is not easy - it may be some loose ends to hang on with. The problem is to remember where the you have them.
