Titel: Help with word on household examination record
Skrivet av: George Lind skrivet 2023-05-26, 20:42

Attached is an image taken from the household examination record of Jönsegård in Lundby parish. 

Can anyone make out what the word is before the name S. Sörensen Gberg?  He owns the farm but lives in Göteborg.

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

Thanks,
George

"1/4 eg. Hand" + an abbreviation sign. He's the owner ("egare", ägare w/modern spelling) of 1/4 of the farm -- but as you say, he lives in Gothenburg, where he's also noted as "Hand(:". It's short for "Handelsman" -- trader.
