Census vs. report

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The sources simply refer to "the census", but in response to a query in a concealed comment and since it is also said that the originals have been lost for a few places, I have changed to "report" and "documents" in the paragraph about what became of the census after it was completed. The Icelandic article has a pic of a page, but it can only be used there. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:04, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

friends' names should be relatives' names?

I believe the correct translation of "frenders nafn" would be "relatives' names". Agree/disagree? TLauckBenson (talk) 00:18, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I think so too. Bücherfresser (talk) 16:48, 20 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
