Anti Poika,
I'm glad you liked that history tidbit but very surprised you don't know about this because after all, it is Swedish stuff. It sounds as if the sabbath book was used as a family bible. But I never heard of such a book either. Maybe it was just a bible? Maybe the book had something to do with Jonas Svensson's duty as a church warden? Did Swedish families have bibles or books in which they recorded family births, etc.?
My father who wasn't Swedish, told me that someone showed him his name in the family bible when he was a little boy visiting at his grandfather's house. Unfortunately, nobody knows where this family bible is today.
I wonder how Sven Jonasson got from No. 3 Binga to Copenhagen in 1869; by foot, horse, carriage, boat, train? I suppose there was a ferry.
