I?m no expert in this matter but mostly the priest direct pagenumbers to make it easyer for him to keep control of peoples familymatters. Sometimes you find a register first of all in the book. If you look under f.e Öjesjön you find the family listed and under that there could be greatparents,maids (piga/or), farm hands (dräng/ar),and familys living on the same farm.First of all the household were kept for the priest to see if they correctly read the bible, if they wrote well, read well.Then he made notes whether they were vaccinated or not.And if they were communiants. He also directed to pagenumbers if they moved in the same parish, if not he referred to the new one. And as they struggled to make a living there could be lots of moves under a ten year period.I suggest you to read a novel or somthing about swedish emigrants life. It may give you the right picture of Sweden during that time. Many familys from Västerfärnebo and around found salvation by mormons and went to America.
