Thank you everyone for your explanation here. It has been very interesting.
Let me give a little more context about the usage of these terms in my situation.
The years were about 1901 - 1903. My 21 year old unmarried great grandmother moved away from her widowed mother and 12 year old sister to other cities approximate 100 and 180 km away. She stayed 9 months and returned home for 6 months then moved again for 12 months and then return home for 6 months before finally moving to North America for good.
In the parish Inflyttningslängd and Utflyttningslängd she is listed as a hemmadotter in some cases and a piga in others. I assume she moved away for work reasons.
Within this context, does it sound like these titles described her occupation or her living situation at home? The parish was located in Uppsala county.
