Titel: Guardianship for orphans
Skrivet av: Victoria Cihla skrivet 2023-01-19, 20:23
Hi,
One of my ancestors was orphaned (along with a sister) in 1762 in Kånna parish in Kronoberg. He was age 10 and she was 6. There was no estate inventory and household records are not available until 1794 in Kånna - I don't know where they went. Would I start looking immediately after the death of the 2nd parent to search for a guardianship court case? Or where would I look for that? Does it normally take some time before the case is heard? Any direction would be appreciated.
