Skifteprotokol (Godset example)

I am posting an example of a skifteprotokol recorded on the Gods (Manor) level.  Each Manor owned numerous tracts of land and often times the land was in several different parishes.  The Family History Library Catalog allows you to search by parish and see what Manors had farms in a parish.  It is also wise to search on the herred level in the Family History Library Catalog when reviewing available sources for your parishes.

I have an ancestor, Maren Jensdatter (1679-1741).  She died in Øland, Hjørring, Denmark.  Her husband was a degn (parish clerk).  I thought she might have a probate since her husband was a degn.  I first checked the Deanery probates (not on krabsen.dk) then I checked http://www.krabsen.dk/


From the index I chose the Maren Jensdatter in Østerbye since that town is in Øland. 

This is the title of the volume where Maren's probate is:

Her probate begins on page 84a.




Her husband is Lars Andersen Degn. 
Children listed are:
 Anders Laursen Holbecch, 34 years
Jens LarLaursen, Knudergaard, 32 years
Christen Laursen, home with father, 30 years
Thomas Laursen, Vesterbye in Øland, 28 years
Jørgen Laursen, home with father, 26 years
Laurs Laursen, home with father, 24 years
