Titel: Need help with names on 1717 Torpa marriage record
Skrivet av: Victoria Cihla skrivet 2020-12-09, 23:57

Can anyone help me with the names I've circled on the attached 1717 Torpa marriage record?

Torpa-G-C-1-1690-1747-Image-96-Page-187

I think the marriage date relates to Epiphany so I believe the marriage was in January 1717.  The marriage is between the soldier Pehr ? and Miss Gunnil ? in Sunntorpa.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Festo Epiphan Dei Sold. Pehr Frimodig och pigan Gunnil
Rodricks dotter i Sunnertorpa.

Festo Epiphan Dei (= Twelfth Day, Epiphany) = January 6.

Frimodig (= frank, candid) was a common soldier’s name.

According to Centrala Soldatregistret* Per Frimodig was born 1687, his patronymic was Bengtsson and he was a soldier 1709–1721.

Thank you!

You were so right - there are very, very many soldiers with the name Frimodig!  I had no idea which would be the correct only. 

Your help is very much appreciated! 

Thanks again,

Vicki
