Østbye Farm in Norway
Stange, Hedmark


Østbye Farm Book Records

These records come from the Stange Bygdebok and I include here the Norwegian as well as the English translation according to Google. The bygdeboks (farm books) cover the history of the various farms from all kinds of legal and tax records.  The spelling of the farm names was not standardized until recent times and farms also changed their names over time.  The records on this particular farm name goes back to about 1397 with artifacts dating to the Stone Age.  So far as my research Bernt or his mother are not mentioned in the records.  It seems that some of the early taxes were paid in "hud" = "skin" or cow hides which could then be sold in other parts of Europe.  Ownership of the land is being transferred in these records.  Sometimes the owner would have to sell the farm for debts and later it could be reclaimed, sometimes generations later.  Old currency of "dalar" or "dl." and another abbreviation that applies to the old form of money is "spd." meaning 'speciedalar" , "skill." = "skilling" old currency, "skmk." = "skyldmark" taxes owed.

The following history of the Østby farm is taken from the Stange bygdebok, vol. 1 & 2.  It lays out changes in the economic situation of the various farmers who have operated this farm.  The family here were residents of the farm during the late 1700's and early 1800's.  The primary connection should be noted of the Gulbrandsen family beginning about 1700.  They show up as witness for the baptism but I also believe that Kari Pedersdatter was the daughter of Kari Gulbrandsdatter. I still don't know the father of Kari Gulbrandsdatter but various possibilities seem to be listed here. The translation was done through Google translate and cleaned up for grammar and readability.
