Could someone translate into English the phrase following Hans Christensen, born in 1782.  My google translater works for all the words except "tiener".  Thanks.  Claude

Hi,

In this context it means: helps his father.

Thanks Svend.... it makes sense!  Claude

Remember that in older usage in a number of languages i was used within words and j appeared only as the final letter or the second of ii.  Initial I and J were treated as one letter.  When Google has a problem with a word with i or j preceding a vowel, try again with it omitted, e.g. kjøbmand.
