--- Nils Michaelsen, age 36 <1765> occupation as 'smelter worker' [Hyttearbeider], wife Giertrud age 36 <1765>, son Mikkel (spelled Michel) age 4 <1797>, and mother Berret Nilsdtr, age 67 <1734> on 'pension' living on the farm [gard/hus] Fæmunds Hytteplads (husmandsplass - cotters farm), Rørass Parish, Sør-Trondelag; farm is not recorded with a number
- there are a number of people (55+) listed on this page - Nils Mikkelsen household, lines 1776-1779
- I'm not clear on the farm - Hytteplads likely refers to smelter's cotters farm, possibly then maybe the cotter hut/home was known as Fæmunds, but with more than 50 there, I'm not sure ????
