Titel: Arbrå Mantalslängd 1694 Bogården 2
Skrivet av: Timothy Blomquist skrivet 2015-07-30, 05:03
This is a notation made next to the Farmers' name, Mårten Nilsson.  His father was (Nils Mårtensson) and the farmer until 1690. For several years, you see the name hustru Sigurd in place of the Farmers name.  Then in 1695 you find this. I need some help translating this and what is the meaning of the woman Sigurd shown as the Farmer?

Wife Sigrid, farmer Mårten Nilsson's mother-in-law, died last fall/autumn.

Heikki, thank you for looking at this.  I have seen this several times in Arbrå when the father's name is replaced by hustru______
for a few years, then the son's name shows up for the farm.  The question is many times; is this the father's wife or enka, or is this the son's wife?  Confusing indeed.

When a farmer dies, the wife's name comes up in the mantalslängd as a sign that she is now the legal owner of the farm /holder of the torp. Try using the church records if available. If none are extant, peruse the court records (domböcker).
