Volume 2, 1775-1860

Two bound volumes of assorted documents mainly from Ringsaker kommune (municipality) in Hedmark fylke (district), Norway. The documents were probably sewn together in the volumes at a later date. Volume one has the earliest documents (1650-1777), although not all of them are in chronological order. The documents in volume two (1775-1860) are also not arranged in chronological order. The most common farm name found throughout is Bierche (Bjørke), located in Veldre parish in Ringsaker. The farm name Walstad (Kvalstad) is found in Ringsaker parish. Many of the documents have red tallow seals affixed and include signatures of reigning monarchs of Denmark/Norway, suggesting they are official documents. In addition to the two volumes, a small booklet of hymns and prayers was loosely inserted into one of the volumes. This was placed in a separate folder.
