Titel: Help reading note from household record
Skrivet av: George Lind skrivet 2022-03-05, 17:36
Attached is an image taken from the household records for Myggenäs Uppergården, Valla parish on the island of Tjörn 1862-1872.
This is a note written for Johan Andreasson, it is located on the right side of the page.
I can see that he left for New York on 8 January 1872.  I cannot make out any more of the message.
In front of his name it says "sjöman" which I believe means sailor.  I guess the message must be related to him being a sailor.
Can anyone translate the rest of the message on lines 18 and 19?

Here is a link to the page on the Swedish National Archives

Thanks,

Hi,
it talks about some sort letter or proof to get a job (my guess):
tThe first irst was written 18/12 -63 and renewed 1/7 -70 without him being present in person.
He has not been staying at home (in Valla) since year 1863.

Marianne,
Thank you so much for your help.  I was afraid no one would be able to read this.
