... skee Hiemme i Huset, og at intet er til Hinder for deres, ere vi underskrevne Cautionistr og Forlovere efter Lov og Forordninger.


Does anyone maybe have a link or a glossary to old Norwegian (to English) from 1700s that might show how a marriage certificate was set up? Any links or previously translated Norwegian marriage certs online would be great to refer to. Thanks.
