Titel: Help interpreting baptism record
Skrivet av: George Lind skrivet 2022-07-05, 23:33

Attached is an image of the baptism record for Ingar Pålsdotter.  She was born 28 Nov of 1777 and baptized on 30 Nov in Brandstad.   A note on the left side of the page says "dod".  Does that mean she died?  I do not see a record of her death.  I also do not see a child listed with her parents in the tax registries from that time period.  If she died, it must have been right after the baptism.  Why wouldn't there be a death record for her?

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

I noticed that no deaths were recorded in Brandstad during the period October-December 1777. Although possible in a small parish (Brandstad had about 560 inhabitants back then) I guess that one cannot rule out that the death records are incomplete and that some deaths were never recorded.

KG,
OK, that makes sense.  Thanks again for your help.
