Transcriber's Notes:
#11 umulat over the u
#16 Has a smear through First name.
#29 Has a smear through whole line First name could be Lars
#36 #58 #60 #72 #75 #80 #85 #93 #95 #102 #105 #109 #116 #122 #127 #141
After the females names the captain has written hwife. This seems to be
that they are married to the male that is just above their name.
Foot Note:
For many centuries Norwegians had only one name -- their Christian, or
first name, given the child when it was christened. The second name was
the patronymic form -- that is, if a man's first name was Hans, his
daughter was (firstname) Hansdatter and his son was (firstname)
Hansson. In the 1870's legislation was passed which stated that women
should use the masculine form for their patronymic. Therefore, Guri
Johnsdatter became Guri Johnson.
Those who lived in rural areas also used a third name to indicate where
they lived -- the farm name. When people moved from one farm to another,
their last name became the name of the new farm. It wasn't until after
1900 that legislation mandated that people must take permanent family
names. Some took the name of the farm while others took the patronymic.
