     [original: Georg Næss har hatt alvorlige helseproblemer og kunne ikke love å fullføre Schytte Blix' manuskript. Redaktøren gjorde derfor en henvendelse til ordføreren i Karasjok og ba om å få vurdert hvilken bistand som kan ytes lokalt for å få slektsboka utgitt i mest mulig fullstendig form.]

     When Georg Næss couldn't promise to finish Schytte Blix' manuscript due to illness, the leader asked the mayor of Kárášjohka for help from the local community to release the book of family history in a complete a state as possible.
