[Gjest Arne Mikal Mikkelsen]

In one of the emigrants lists I found two expressions I don't understand.1) under occupation = Hermetkfabr 2 under reason for trip= a(bedre livsvilkaar)Could someone explain please.TakkArne Mikal

[Gjest Jan Oldervoll]

Hermetkfabr is probably Canning factory, or may be worker in a canning factory.a(bedre livsvilkaar). The a says he gave reason a of a number of reasons preprinted in the form. The meaning of a is bedre livsvilkaar, which means better living condition.
