Dear Tony Andersson,
Thank you for the translation.
Name: Sven Jonasson Gender: Mandlig (Male) Departure Age: 21 Event Type: Afgang Birth Date: abt 1852 Residence Place: Vallensbæk Sogn, København Departure Date: 1873 Departure Place: Danmark (Denmark)
I believe at one time I thought the document said that Sven Jonasson was a "journeyman" baker but I'm not sure? Do you think the document says he was leaving Vallensbæk Sogn for Copenhagen proper or was he leaving Vallensbæk Sogn, Copenhagen for some unknown place?
Sven left Binga No. 3, Edestad Parish as a farm laborer on 14 Apr 1869 for Copenhagen presumably to learn the baking trade. I believe that by 1873, he would have been a journeyman baker? I happen to know that his older brother Carl Jonasson left Binga No. 3 for Karlskrona in 1860 and when he left Karlskrona in 1864, he was a journeyman baker. I don't know about such things but 3-4 years seems like a reasonable amount of time to become a journeyman baker?
The document I was referring to most recently is the one associated with this wonderful map of Björkenas provided by Kalle Birgersson:
