Titel: Need help with patronymic name on 1724 death record
Skrivet av: Victoria Cihla skrivet 2020-09-18, 22:43

Can anyone tell me if the patronymic name on the attached 1724 death record, circled in yellow, is Jönsdotter?  It looks like a longer name (I'm looking for a Tya Jönsdotter who died in 1724 in Våkön in Vrå).

Thank you for your help,

You are right, it is longer! The word is Jönsasdotter. I think it is a kind of old double genitiv, maybe because Jöns already end in an s. So the dead is Tya Jönsdotter, just spelled a bit different.

Thank you!  Very interesting - I have not come across that before!
