Her CLN should be Rott. Obrestad should be under "Other Names"
The Patronym as LNAB is the default rule for most Norwegians born before the legal requirements for surnames.
Current/Married last Name For most Norwegians before 1923 this would be the farm name where they spent the most time in their life or the last part of their life.
Other Last Names If they used more than one farm name in their lifetime, the farm names not used in Current Last Name would go here.
