Aalesund Church Records

[Clark Monson]

In the Aalesund church records Karen Gurine Uri died on March 10, 1906. I am wondering what the words mean before her name. It says e. (that she is a widow) and something else. Can somebody tell me what it says? Thank you!

[Aase R Sæther - Gloppen]

It says "efter arbeider" - her deceased husband was "a working man" (I do not know the correct English word - says nothing about his profession).

Her husband was a labourer. Both Karen Gurine(b.1839) and her daughter Elida Olivia(b.1900) died 10/3 1906. And if you keep looking to the right you will find his name was Elias Ellefsen and was working/labouring with stones.

her daughter Elida Olivia(b.1900)

Berit, the ---"---- sign doesn't mean "repeated" here as we are used to, but is used at those people who are "head of household". So there is no relation between #10 and # 11.

OK, thank you Aase.
