Need help with LNAB Norway

Question

Working on the Alias Unknowns project. Is Larsdatter her Jorin's LNAB?

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes, if you have a source that says that she was a Larsdatter, that's her LNAB. See How to enter Norwegian Names into Wikitree.

Jorin is an unusual name. Are you sure about the spelling?

Comments

Jorin is what they have on the profile. No sources listed at all.

Yes, I saw that. After I had posted my answer above, I realised that it wasn't "your" profile. Thank you for trying to clean up.

Only 255 more Unk's to go!

I found some sources [census, marriage, bap], can you look at them and see if they are correct sources?  names a little off.

Thanks

Ah, that's a lot better

I see that her given name at birth is spelled as "Giøran" which I usually normalise to "Jøran". The name has gone out of usage, but lives on as "Jorunn" in modern Norwegian.

I changed the name fields to how I think it should be done, but of course I'm unable to change the LNAB.

Thank you. I will continue the process and get the name changed.

Jøran is still used. 16 females in Norway with that name today. I have met one of them.
