Titel: Viola Viktoria
Skrivet av: Greg Rosenvall skrivet 2022-02-25, 22:25

Do the notations by the name of Viola Viktoria (born 1907-08-26) on the congregational record links below indicate that she was adopted by Hilma Viktoria Karlsson?

Thank you,
Greg

No ... Viola Viktoria was her biological daughter.

In 1918, when Hilma Viktoria marries, her husband "admits" to being Violas father, but that is probably untrue, since he was less than 12 years old when Viola Viktoria was concieved. I guess that could count as a de facto adoption ...

Thank you, Staffan.  What is the meaning or significance, if any, of the notations, such as "oa.d." before Viola's name?

"oä.d." = "oäkta dotter" = "illegitimate" daughter, i.e. born out of wedlock.
