Titel: Question about name on 1721 tax record
Skrivet av: Victoria Cihla skrivet 2020-08-20, 15:49

I have a question on the attached tax record in regard to the name.  It looks like Jön - could it be Johan?   This is different from other records that show him as Joh or Johan.  I think it is still my ancestor because of the note that they are poor and have 7 children.  This description fits my ancestor but want to make sure I'm still  following the right person. I know, according the household records, that they are still in Jonsbo at this time.
