Titel: Need help with notations on household record
Skrivet av: Victoria Cihla skrivet 2020-03-10, 20:25

The attached household exam record has a note (on the far right hand side) for 2 of the children (Anna and Nils) - it is the same word for both but I cannot figure out what it is. 

Are the notes for Peter (last child listed) saying that he was born out of wedlock and that the mother of the child is Anna Samuelsdotter?  I found a word oäkta that is similar and no father is listed so I thought that may be what it is.  Will someone confirm or correct me? 

Thanks for any help with this,

Vicki

ofärdig = having a disability, most likely a physical one.

And you're right, "oäkta" - literary "not genuine", which gives it a sinister ring - means out of wedlock (outside a genuine/proper liaison)
