I have traced my 3 great grandfather (Søren Hansen b. 1742) to a Danish website for a Ploug Family.  The sources are "Svanninge Folkenmindesamling," Mette M. Hansen & "Ploug-slaegten.dk"

Are those sources referring to books?
Ploug-slaegten is an index.
Secondly after occupation it reads: Gårdfæster, "Oldtidsminde."

What does that mean?
Thanks, Rog Nelson
