[#6547] Translation please

[Gjest Pearl Danroth]

I need some help translating some of the information found for emigrant #855 Samuel Ausdal (born 1894)leaving Stavanger on May 19, 1913 for Canada.Bustad- Sirdalen- I believe this means his last residence, right? Is Sirdalen a parish, town or farm?Billet - Nei. I have translated that to read - No Ticket, what does that mean?In the last column: Årsak til utvandring - Liten fortjeneste??This is a wonderful website. I check it everyday. Thanks Pearl.

Hi Pearl! The words you have translated are all correct, "Bustad" means residence - in this context probably last residence, "Billet - Nei" means Ticket - No and I guess it means he did not purchase a ticked before embarking.Sirdal is a parish in the south part of Norway (Vest-Agder county)."Årsak til utvandring" translates to Reason for emigration, "Liten fortjeneste" I should think best is expressed as small earnings or little profit.Hope this clear things up.Best regardsThor Erik
