Titel: Help with word on marriage record
Skrivet av: Victoria Cihla skrivet 2020-04-14, 18:24

Can anyone tell me what the word (enclosed in yellow box) on the attached marriage record is?

Thanks for your help,

Fästeqwinna. An old term describing an engaged woman.

Thank you!  Does this mean it is an actual marriage record or is it an announcement?

It should be an actual marriage record. Every bride on that page has got one title or another, I'm not 100% sure why Martha Ericsdotter has this title instead of "piga".

Thanks for this information.  I wondered about that - yes, usually I see "piga" unless it is a widow.  Interesting.

Much appreciated!
