Thanks for the list. I'd been told about Gudmestad and have located it  
at the UR library. That should get me into the core of the matter for  
my little patch of land. What had initially looked quite promising  
archaeologically was the opportunity to study the material culture of  
two side by side slave trader houses, but as one bought in 1863 and  
the other in 1866, the hope was soon dimmed.
