Titel: Need help identifying a word used in an Estate Record in 1797
Skrivet av: Mark Molander skrivet 2023-01-03, 03:05

An ancestor of mine, Jonas Bloomberg, is listed in the preamble section of the estate record of Hedvig Forss from 1797, and I'm trying to figure out their connection.   I think his occupation listed has something to do with being an inspector of school leases, but it is prefixed with a word that I can't determine, with a strange first letter.  It's also used for the person listed before him, which I've highlighted with a red box.  Any ideas of what the word might be?

Also, here's a link to the full context:

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Fru Forss = Mrs Forss
                              . . . Frälse Inspectoren
Herr Lars Pettersson på Grensholmen, Frälse
Inspectoren och Arrendatoren Herr Jonas
Blomberg på Sjöbacka, …

They were two of Mrs Forss' brothers in law (sing: svåger, plur: svågrar).

Frälse Inspector = inspector (bailiff) of a noble estate.

Hi Maud,

Thank you for the information!  I would have never guessed the "Frälse" word given that other capital "F"s in the document looked more modern, and so different.  And, knowing the brother-in-law relationship is very key to my research.

Thanks, Mark
