I also want to thank everyone that has contributed to this topic. This has been very informative to me, especially since I have discovered that many of my ancestors have Boupptecknings.  
 
Ingela: One item that really piqued my interest is your explanation about how all savings were put into silver items. (Item 4 on your explanations)
 
After reviewing (and struggling) over so many of these Boupptecknings, I would see that items listed under “Silver” would have the term “lod” after it. (For example: Tumlare 8 lod or lilan(??) 32 lod.)  
Is “lod” a weight measurement and then would be used to determine the value? And can I assume then, that all listed under silver, is really the families savings account?  
 
Thanks again for everyone’s posts. I have printed a copy of them for future reference.
