Titel: Help with translation of word
Skrivet av: George Lind skrivet 2020-10-02, 19:55

I need help translating words from the 1793 Brandstad tax registry.

This is for property number 3, the third line listed.

It looks like it says the following:

lodger Bolla 1 child lodger ? Giertru

I cannot make out what  the word before Giertru is.

The other word I cannot make out is the word on the far right hand side of the right page.

It looks like they are poor and then I cannot make out the other word.

Can anyone tell what these words are?

I have attached images with the words highlighted

Here is the link to the registry on the Swedish National Archives.

Thanks,
George
