ringkarl

[Gordon Anderson]

The subject word (ringkarl) is from a marriage record in
Glemmen, Østfold, Norway (1824). I believe it describes an occupation. The
document quality is poor so I am not sure if the spelling is correct. Any
help would be appreciated.

Hi Gordon!
I suspect it is a blurring of 'ungkarl' = bachelor.
