Would someone help with several questions, please?1. I would like to know the English translation of 'pleieson' as it pertains to familiestatus.2. I would like to know the English translation of the following description of 'bodker' from the dictionary on Digitalarkivet....."handverker som framstilte tonner og tonneformede kar".(My great-great Grandfather's profession was that of 'bodkermester'. His son's were all 'bodkersvend'. Is bodkersvend the same as apprentice?)3. I changed the number of information categories on the 'show/hide variables' at the top and bottom of the census pages. I can't get any of those categories back again. It tells me to select the categories I want to show and then click the 'reset' button. There is no reset button. I tried the 'refresh' button on the browser but that doesn't do it either. Would anyone happen to know how I can fix this problem?Thank you very much for any help you can give me. Takk for hjelpen!Marcia

Bodker = cooperSvend = apprentice

Thank you very much, Bjorn, for your answer. Marcia

If I am wrong, I hope someone will correct me, but I believe "pleieson" can be translated with "foster son", that is a boy who is not born in the family but in their care. A "pleieson" is not adopted by the family.

Thanks to you too, Bente. These questions I've been trying to answer for myself for quite a while and getting nowhere fast. I'm glad I discovered this forum. Everyone is so courteous here. I appreciate the help. Marcia
