Titel: Help with a tax record in Västra Tunhem parish
Skrivet av: Douglas A Nelson skrivet 2020-03-01, 09:02

Hello,

Could someone please translate the comment in the margin next to Pehr Jonsson's name in this 1785 tax record ("64...")?  He is the fifth person from the top on the right hand side at Hohl Garteg.  I have been unable to find a death record for him in Slaktdata, and I wonder if he perhaps moved to a parish that is not in that database?  The "64" could easily be his age.  I believe it is his son Jon Pehrsson listed just below him.  Jon appears to have taken over the farm as he alone is listed there in subsequent years.

Thank you very much for your help!
Doug N.

Thank you!  It seems his death simply wasn't recorded in the church books.
