1. Tolga moving out records

21 Mar 1858, Michel Evensen Sønmør and Ingeborg Evensdtr Sønmør to ??? Ligessa ??? -- I can't find this place name or parish, but I can't really figure out the handwriting ;; I have done general google searches and used the familysearch.org wiki; maybe Leka in the Namdalen area, but they are not recorded in this area in the 1865 Norway census
looks like a number of people have gone there, but still I don't know where this place is;

[25 Jul 2016] see note '96 I then reviewed the pages from the parish registers and there is one google result under a search for "Ligssaa Norway" and included in the description, "…. ligs saa … ". With this and using Tri Translate, comes the following: lig, see lik, meaning "like, similar, equal"; and saa, see "se" or "så" meaning "therefore, thus or next"

So, using the Tolga Klokkerbok, I looked again at the entries for 1858 and the first entry is Esten Jonsen … ? born 1833 and going to Nortamcrika '96 North America [line 1, 1858]. Then on line 5-6, "Ligssaa" and then one line 10 (Mikkel Evensen), Ligssaa

So, my conclusion: "ligssaa" refers to 'the same as above, that is, North America'; equivalent to our "ditto". Therefore, this record refers to Michel (Mikkel) Evensen and Ingeborg Evensdtr leaving Tolga Parish for North America in 1858.
