Titel: What does låghistuge mean?
Skrivet av: Scott Cannon skrivet 2011-05-23, 21:44
Following the name of my g g grandfather in the birth record of my g grandfather in 1872, it says låghistuge or something spelled very similar.
 
Johannes Andersson låghistuge
 
I see other fathers on the page also have this word follow the name of the father. Yet other fathers have other words listed after their names.
 
Perhaps it is the name of their occupation.
 
Does anyone know what this word means?
 
Thanks, Scott
