Good Afternoon, this was my grandmother's or great-grandmothers. English letters combined Google translate doesn't compute. With what Google returned, it could be a saying which might not have an easy translation.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

    [**egen**](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/egen#Swedish) [**härd**](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/h%C3%A4rd#Swedish) [**är**](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C3%A4r#Swedish) [**guld**](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/guld#Swedish) [**värd**](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/v%C3%A4rd#Swedish) (*literally: own hearth is gold worth*)

  7. “Egen härd är guld värd” is a Swedish proverb that means that one’s own home is extremely valuable, it is priceless to have one’s own place where one can feel safe and cook. “Härd” refers to the fireplace/stove, i.e. the core of the home where warmth and cooking take place, and the proverb emphasizes the importance of home with a poetic ring. The expression has also given its name to books and events, and describes the value of one’s own, safe and cherished home.

  8. A litteral translation would be “own hearth, gold worth”. It could be translated (still a bit litteral) as “own home, gold worth”.
