The question of the meaning of the words dräng and piga has been discussed earlier here at the forum. Dräng and piga can be used as boy and girl but i believe this is more used in Skåne and around as you are able to see in those birth records. As the young people often worked as famhands and maids maybe the distinction between the meanings can be hard to determine, but where I have come across marriage couples I have seen them as farmhands and maids. An argument is that they are not boys and girls when they marry. Of course, I'm not always right...
