Strange! I do see a lot of court cases with disagreements about barnegods, but they do not give more of an understanding. This from the Swedish Academy Dictionary: - BARN-GODS ~². (numera mindre br.) jur. jfr B. (Om) rätter förmyndare ej kan strax nämnas ..; förordhe tå Domaren någon god man, som imedlertid barngodset vårda må. ÄB 20: 7 (Lag 1734). BACKMAN Lags. 6: 302 (1850).
Legal term, if the court cannot appoint a förmyndare they can appoint a good man to care for the barnegods, Law of 1734 (Inheritance section 20:7). Should be the first mention of the term. But there are court cases from the 17th century naming barnegods.
