Can anyone tell me what the names are on the attached 1680 tax record for Hylte in Odensjö?
Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 29 (1680) Image 1220 / Page 952

Thanks for your help,

It says "Hölte Ödhe Staffan, hust: utf." Öde normally means deserted, but this place obviously isn't. Might be an old place name, there are lots of farms that was deserted during the black death but later was resettled. And I don't know the abbreviation after Staffan and his wife, I use to see "utgammal" och "utlevad" but I don't know what that f is for. But either Staffan or the wife don't have to pay any taxes, so I guess "utf." has to do with that.

Maybe 'utfattig'?

Yes of course, utfattig. Too poor to pay taxes.

Thank you Kalle and Ulf!
That's something new that I haven't come across previously - very interesting.
Thank you both for you help,
Vicki

I also realize that I have the place name wrong!
It thought that Hölte was Hylte. :(
Thanks again for your help,

"Hölte" is just Hylte spelled as it's pronounced. :)

Hi Jörgen,
Thank you for letting me know! I would have searched in vain for Hylte!
Much appreciated,
Vicki
