Titel: Need help reading death record for 1770 Gungshults, Hinneryd
Skrivet av: Victoria Cihla skrivet 2021-02-10, 21:02

Can anyone help with the attached death record for Karin Olofsdotter in April 1770? 

All that I can understand from the death record is:

April (1770) Karin Olofsdotter of Gungshults Södergård (Hinneryd) died and that she was 61 years, 3 months and 4 days old.

But, I cannot figure out the whole middle section of this record. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Vicki

Thank you, Maud!

That is really interesting.  I was really struggling with the handwriting.  Thank you so much for your help!
