Attached is an image taken from the household examination record of Jönsegård in Lundby parish. 

Can anyone make out what the word is before the name S. Sörensen Gberg?  He owns the farm but lives in Göteborg.

Attached is a note from the 1872-1881 household census records of Valla, Tjörn.  This note comes from the notes column on the right side of the page, line number 15.  I cannot make out the words before the date.  I am not sure if this is an abbreviation of the words.  Can anyone figure out what this says?

General questions / Help with translation of newspaper article
« skrivet: 2023-05-10, 21:34 »
Attached is an image of an announcement in the newspaper Post- och Inrikes Tidningar,  25 Sep 1873.  I am having trouble with the two high lighted parts.  I cannot make out what the symbol is after 350. Rmt is riksmynt.
The last part of the announcement I translated in google translate but it does not make much sense in English.  He has six weeks after the last posting of this announcement in the newspaper but I am not sure what he has to do?
Anders Andreasson is being sued but it seems they cannot locate the lendor of the money?
This is my second great grandfather. 
I hope someone can clarify this for me.

Attched are three images related to my second great grandfather Axel Andersson.  In all three records there is the abbreviation that looks like "arb".  It is in the work column on the two census records and before his name in the death record.  Does anyone know what this is?
These records are from Göteborg Oscar Fredrik 1899 and 1916.
Could it be an abbreviation for "arbetare" which means worker or laborer?
Thanks,

Thank you so much for translating this for me.  I never would have been able to figure this out myself.
This is a excerpt from my fourth great grandmother's appearance in court for having an illegitimate child.
I can't believe she had to be put through this degrading process and the man got off without any consequences.

The next line starts with the word "Fonden"

Peter,
Thank you for your response.  I just want to make sure that I understand this.
I have attached the tax record for 1801 Brandstad.  This is my fourth great grandmother Gertrud Torkelsdotter.  She is not married and has an illegitimate son.  She is marked in the "afkortade matlag" column which means she is not being taxed.  She is also marked as "Inhs" or inhysis which means she is provided a house by someone else and she pays them by working.  She is listed as "dejan" which means she is a milking the cows.  It is noted on the right side that she is poor.  Would she be receiving "welfare" from the parish?  Is there a way to tell from the tax records?   
Everyone listed above her has "Do" in the first column with means "same as above" (meaning "ghs").  I believe this means "gatehus". She does not have the "Do" next to her name.  Does that mean she lives with the family listed above her?
Is my interpretation of the record correct?

« skrivet: 2023-02-06, 22:15 »
Per,
Thanks for your input.
I found this definition of slag but it doesn't help much.
slag - (among > 60 different meanings, a common one = a blow) medical diagnosis with several uses but always in connection with a sudden and severe medical crisis. Usually specified like hjärtslag (heart stop), slaganfall ((cerebral) stroke). When used as cause of death as slag it probably referred to a cerebral stroke, easily recognizable through paralysis.
When used in the meaning a blow it was often specified, e.g. slagen af åskan (hit by lightning), sparkad af häst (kicked by a horse), ihjälslagen af svärsonen (killed by the son-in-law).

Jörgen,
I hope you don't mind me asking another question.  Attached is an image taken from the Brandstad church records of 1800.  This is a year later after Gertrud has been fined.  I can see the first part says that the fine is being written off because she has no money to pay it.
My question is about the second part.  Does it say that she has to work off the fine?  If so would that mean at a prison?

This is my translation
Afskrifves pignorna Bengta Pehrsotters i Klamby och Jertud från Timmerhus balanarade lägermåls Böter, som i Brist af tillgång icke kunna utgå ej eller i anse ende till desfas swaga till stånd med arbete aftjenas i 32

Here is my guess at what it says in Swedish

Av som thet af ortens kronobetjänt

I cannot make out the words on the second line after nämnd.  Is it someone's name?
Can anyone confirm that this is correct and fill in the missing part?
Can anyone translate this to English too?  I believe it has to do with the court officer announcing the fine she must pay.

Under that I believe it says the following
en skilling      run stycke
I am not sure what these mean.

I believe the third column is the following:
angifne fik uhn
The columns below it refer to silver and gold but I can't figure out what this means.

Attached is an image of the baptism record for Ingar Pålsdotter.  She was born 28 Nov of 1777 and baptized on 30 Nov in Brandstad.   A note on the left side of the page says "dod".  Does that mean she died?  I do not see a record of her death.  I also do not see a child listed with her parents in the tax registries from that time period.  If she died, it must have been right after the baptism.  Why wouldn't there be a death record for her?

General questions / Help interpreting mantal
« skrivet: 2022-01-17, 02:19 »
Attached is an image from the 1798 Brandstad mantal in Southern Sweden.  I have attached two images, the left and right sides of the page for Rasmus Bonesson.  He is the fourth name at farm number 3.
At the left its has "Ihs" which I believe is an abbreviation for inhyses.  Then it says Rasmus Bonesson, wife, 2 children Ihs(inhyses) Gjiertru.
The right side of the page has a 1 in the wife column, a 1 in the torpare man column, a 1 in the over 63 column and a 2 in the under 15 column for a total of 5.  Then there is a note about Gjiertru being poor.

Am I correct about the "Ihs" abbreviation.  He does not have a mantal fraction before his name so he is not paying a tax.  Why would he be listed as inhyses if he lived in a torp.  Doesn't inhyses mean he is living off someone's support and a torp would mean he was renting a small farm and supporting himself.  Why wouldn't Rasmus, his wife and Gjiertru be listed in the inhyses column? 
Who would he be renting the farm from.  Can we tell from the document?  The person above him is from farm number 22.  Would it be the person above that (Anders Olsson)?

Am I interpreting this correctly?

Thank you for your help with these translations.  Is " löst folk" the equivalent of what we call "homeless people" today?  People who have no home and are wandering around.

Attached is an image from the mantal for Brandstad 1792 in Southern Sweden.
These are 3 columns on the right side of the page.
Can anyone translate the text in each column and the sub headings.
I believe the first is croft and street house man.  The seconds is inhyses and ? folk.
What is a "street house man" and how is that different from a crofter?
What is the difference between a crofter and and inhyses?  Would they both pay taxes.  Can you be both a crofter and inhyses?

I believe the bottom columns are men and women and over 63 years and under 15 years.   Does "Qvins" translate to women?
I am not sure what "med utsade" and "utan utdade" mean? 

Thanks,
George

Hans,
I read your article on land reforms in Sweden and I also read your article on poor relief.  These are both related to my 3rd great grandfather and his mother in Brandstad in Southern Sweden.  My third great grandfather, Pehr Rasmusson, was born illegitimate in Brandstad 1797.  His mother Gertrud Torkelsdotter had been poor for most of her life.  In 1803 the land reform occurred in Brandstad.  In  1802 Gertrud is listed with her 5 year old son.  She is listed as inhyseshjon and living in "skoghuset" which I believe means forest house.  After the land reform she disappears from the records for one year and then reappears in Brandstad without her son.  Her son does not reappear until he is 14 and living in Brandstad at a separate farm from his mother.  I have been unable to find where my 3rd great grandfather was during this time.  In your article you mention the word "rotegång".  Is it possible that he was passed around from house to house in Brandstad during this time?  Why wouldn't he be with his mother?  Why wouldn't he be recorded in the housing or tax records?  There seem to be a lot of people in Brandstad who are listed as "inhyseshjon", am I misinterpreting this? 
Thanks,
George

Thank you for your reply.  My great grandfather was born Olof Jonsson in Hurfva 27 March 1862.  His family moved to Hammarlunda 13 November 1865.   He changed his last name to Lindquist around 1884.  He was always listed as Olof Jonsson Lindquist.  He left for Copenhagen 
23 October 1884.  He is listed as a tailor at that point.   He married  as Swedish woman from Holmby in 1885.  My grandfather and his sister were born in Copenhagen and they moved to Uppåkra 17 July 1891. 
My great grandfather abandoned the family and made his way out to Southern California in 1907.  He is listed in the "book of missing persons", so he did not inform the parish that he was leaving.  On the ships manifest he is listed as Olof Jonsson and single.
My grandfather left for Southern California in 1911 and a few months later his younger brother followed.  My great grandmother and my grandfathers 2 sisters and another brother all stayed in Sweden.  When Olof left he had a 2 year old daughter.  My grandfather told my father that Olof had abandoned the family.  It is difficult now to know what exactly happened.  My grandfather and his brother both went to Southern California and became tailors but my father never knew his grandfather.   
Hope this is enough info.
George

I having been trying to find out what Uppåkra is like.  It is located 6 kilometers from Lund in Southern Sweden.  The only information I have found is regarding bronze age settlements in that area.  I am interested in Uppåkra because my grandfather lived there for 15 years when he was a boy. My great grandfather was a tailor who left Hammarlunda for Copenhagen.  He married a Swedish woman had two kids and moved to Uppåkra in 1891.  Is Uppåkra a farming village or is it more urban since it is near Lund?  It seems like a tailor would need to live in an urban area to make a living and support his family.  They did eventually move to Lund in 1906.  My great grandfather abandoned the family in 1907 and took off for Southern California.   Just wondering if these locations and occupation factored into his decisions to move around.
Thanks,

Maud,
Thank you so much for translating this for me.  I am disappointed that no one is named as the father.  It makes you wonder if she didn't know the name of the father or she was protecting someone.  My 3rd great grandfather's last name was Rasmusson.  The only Rasmus in Brandstad at that time was her sister's husband.  My 4th great grandmother lived with her sister the year that she got pregnant and then moved out (or was kicked out) the next year.  I have always suspected that Rasmus was the father but there is no DNA connection to any of his descendants.
Thanks again,
George

This is the death of their 3 year old son.  That would have to be the son Christen born 21 Apr 1758 (Image 1) but the name appears to be Rasmus

They did have another son named Rasmus in 1763.  In the tax records for 15 Nov 1765 there are two children listed. Christen age 4 and Rasmus age 2.  They also have two sons named Per born in 1762 and 1768.

lodger Bolla 1 child lodger ? Giertru

I need help understanding the meaning of two columns in the tax record of Brandstad from the 1790s.  I have translated them but they don't make much sense.
The first column says "Torpare och Gasehusman" which I believe translates to "cottager and street house man".
Under that is says "med utsäde" and "utan utsäde" which I believe translates to "with seeds" and "without seeds".
Below that  is looks like men and women
Are my translations correct?  What does with and without seeds refer to?
Are these for people who own their property?

The next column looks like "inhyses och ?".  I can't make out the last word.
Under that it looks like it says men and women.
Are these people who rent from the land owner?

So it seems that a person should be in one or the other of these two columns.

I am hoping to get a better understanding of what these two columns mean.

I have attached an image of the columns from the 1795 tax registry.

The hi-lighted word I am unsure of looks like "karlen".  The first letter does not look like a K it looks more like a C.  I believe "karlen" translates to man.  So it looks live he is a reserve soldier.

Am I correct in my translation?

Also what are the letters before his name?  It appears on a lot of the entries on the sheet.

Attached are two images taken from the 1789 tax registry for Brandstad.
This is for Nils Törkelsson.  He is the first entry for Number 25 Brandstad.

I have most of the names figured out.

Nils Törkelsson, wife, dräng Ola 25, Nils 23 years,  I am sure of this part
I am not sure what comes next it may have someone's name, one child    (there was a Giertru and child the year before)
then it says Hanna 76 years and them some name Törkelsson (it might be his brother Isak Törkelsson who lived there the year before)
Hanna is his mother who had just become a widow

The total looks like six or it may be an 8.  If there was a mother and child listed it seems like the total would be 8.
I do not know what the messages at the far right say.  Can anyone translate them?

I apologize that this is hard to read.

Attached are two images taken from the 1802 Brandstad tax registry.  I apologize for the image being hard to read.  I have included a link to the page so that you can enlarge the image. 

In the first image I am interested in the second to last entry at Number 25.  I believe the last entry is Lars Andersson and the entry before the line I am interested in is for Sven Martensson.
I cannot make out the beginning of the line.  After that it appears to say "wife, 5 children, Pahl Torkelsson and his wife age 63".  There are a total of nine people.
Is it "Rasmus Bonesson"???

The second image is from the notes next to Lars Andersson(the last entry for Number 25).  I was wondering if anyone can translate this too?

I believe the first one says the following:
Nils Torkelsson, wife, Ola ...
I am not sure what it says after Ola and it looks like the last name in that line is Giertru and child

I believe the next line says the following:
Torkel Olsson age 79, wife age 75, Pal Torkelsson, Ola ...
I think the last entry is the name of a daughter.  There is also a note at the far right.

Thanks for the quick response, I will take your advice.  From the 1920 census I see that both of the Hunters parents were born in Indiana and Illinois.  My grandmother come over by herself.  She did have an aunt who was living in the Boston area at that time.  So it seems odd that she would have gone to Detroit.  I haven't been able to find anything about Alma before 1920.  I don't know her maiden name.  I included their birth years just to show they were older than her.  I was also hoping that someone may read it and recognize the names and birth dates.
The Hunters end up moving to Los Angeles and my grandmother goes with them.  She then meets and marries my grandfather in L.A.
Thanks for your help.

My grandmother Signe Andersson came to the United States in 1911 from Goteborg.  On the passenger listing in New York it says that she is coming to America to stay with a friend named Alma Hunter in Detroit Michigan.  My grandmother was 17 at the time and is not related to Alma in any way.  I have not found much on Alma but the 1920 census says she was born in Indiana in 1871.  Her husband Lewis C. Hunter was born in Illinois in 1843.  In the 1920 census my grandmother is listed as a lodger living with the Hunters.  They were much older than my grandmother when she came to America and were not Swedish.  I don't see any connection.  Both my grandparents passed away before I was born and my father knows nothing about why or how his mother came to America. Is it possible that they were some kind of sponsor for her or she responded to an ad?  It seems very odd that she ended up in Detroit.  I hope someone may have ideas as to where to look or was this a common practice?

I have seen this.  Rasmus had a son with his wife he named Pehr in 1801.  Seems like he was trying to replace the illegitimate son with a legitimate one.

211
Yes, I have been researching this for months and found a lot of interesting  information.
I suspect that Rasmus Bondesson is the father but I have no proof.  Mainly because he was the only Rasmus in the parish at that time and after he died Gertrud is listed as a widow even though she never married.  Maybe the priest knew and was leaving a clue.
Rasmus was Gertrud's brother in law.  Gertrud was fined by the church for having unmarried intercourse but no man was fined.
But all of this is purely circumstantial.  We may never know who the father was.

212
Thank you both for your help and suggestions.

I see the record from Malmo.  It says they were going to Boston or New York.  Would this boat have taken them directly to America or would it go to England and then they would catch another boat.

213
Thank you for your reply.  Pehr was 15 years old and living with Carl Thedin and his family.
He is listed as a boy in 1813 and then as a farm hand in 1814.  He leaves for Öved in 1814.
From then on he is moving around working on different farms in different parishes until he marries.
I don't believe that there is any family relationship between Carl Thedin an Pehr.  It is interesting to
note that Carl Thedin takes in Pehr's mother, Gertrud Torkelsdotter, around 1816 and she lives with him and his family until she dies.

I am trying to locate my third great uncle Pehr Tufvesson after he came to North America from Sweden. He was born April 30 1835 in Holmby, Malmöhus, Sweden. The last records of him in Sweden are records of him leaving Hammarlunda, Sweden Aug 31 1887. It says he is leaving for North America. He left with his 5 children. His wife had passed away.
The children were as follows:
Christina Pehrsdotter January 26, 1869 Hammarlunda, Malmöhus, Sweden
Nils Pehrsson January 26, 1869 Hammarlunda, Malmöhus, Sweden
Janne Pehrsson July 09, 1871 Hammarlunda, Malmöhus, Sweden
Elin Pehrsdotter October 11, 1877 Hammarlunda, Malmöhus, Sweden
Johannes Pehrsson October 11 1877 Hammarlunda, Malmöhus, Sweden

Is there any way to find which ship they left for America on?  I have looked at the New York passenger listings for September 1878 and cannot find them.  Any help or advise would be appreciated.

Attached are images of the front and back of the travel card for Gertrud Torkelsdotter.  I found this is the Attachment to Migration Records for Brandstad 1778-1810.

I got this translated to English but I have a few questions about how to interpret this.
Here is the translation to English.

Number 72. The maid Giertrud Torckelsdotter
Is born 1762 in Frenninge parish and Harrarp village
Came year 1782 from Branstad
And now moves to Bransta village back.
Reads in book reasonably well
Recites Dr. Luther's catechism with questions well
recites "Ath.Symb." and "Hustaflan" likewise
recites Dr. Svebelius' Explanations somewhat
and understands in a simple manner.
Attended examination last the 21st of this [month].
The Sacred Communion taken last today.
Is to her manner of living decent.
To marriage free from promises.
Certificate of Kierstorp the 8th September 1783.
[signed]

That Gerdro Torgelsdatter has been employed by me from New Year 1784 in/until(?) Melkelt(??) in Denmark,
and during this time behaved calmly and ???.
Kongens Lyngbye the 6th Ostober 1784
[signed]

It appears that she arrived in Brandstad in 1782.  Then she appears to be coming back to Brandstad from Kierstorp  in 1783.  Whre is Kierstorp?  Then there is a note about working in Lyngbye Denmark in 1784.   I guess she left again and came back from Denmark.  There is also a note on the back which is too hard to read.  This seems like a lot of traveling on one card.  Am I interpreting this correctly? What does "To marriage free from promises." mean?
The "behaved calmly" comment in the note about Denmark seems a bit strange.  Can anyone make out what it says on the back?
Thanks.

Thank you very much.  Gertrud had an illegitimate son in December of 1797.  This is from 1799.  This must be for the illegitimate baby. There seems to be no mention of any men being fined.

I have also found an entry from 1800 in the same Brandstad church accounts.  Gertrud is mentioned again.  I am wondering if anyone can translate this too?  I have attached the image.

Attached is an image from Brandstad church accounting book.  This is from Brandstad 1799.
Can anyone translate this section for me?  It looks like it mentions the name Gertrud.  Is this correct?

Thank you for the clear explanation.  Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply.  I have a follow up question if you don't mind.
Pehr Rasmusson was 17 at that time.  Would he still be considered a boy at that age?
I had assumed that he was moving to Öved  to work as a farm hand. 
In the household examination record for that year he is listed with "Gos" next to his name not "Dr".
Would that mean he was not a farm hand?  The note in the top left of the page seems to say "Tjenare ochInhejsis".
What does that mean?

No, this is not what I thought it might be.  My third great grandfather Pehr Rasmusson appears in Brandstad in 1812 so I was hoping to find a record for him moving in to Brandstad. 
Thank you very much for helping out with this translation.

Can anyone translate this section of the inventory which lists family members?

Attached is an image of the death record of who I believe is Marten Olasson born Jan 15 1789 in Brandstad.
This death record is from Brandstad 1789 page 88.  I believe the date is Feb 20 1789.  His father was Ola Sjoholm and his mother was Anna Caisa Silfvertelning.  I am not sure if this is Marten or not.  He would have been about 1 month old.  What does the text say? 
Thanks

My third great grandfather Pehr Rasmusson was born illegitimate in Brandstad on Dec 10 1797.  His mother was Gertrud Torkelsdotter but I do not know who the father is.  Gertrud and Pehr show up in the 1803 Brandstad household examination record.  He is 5 years old.  After that  year I cannot find any record of him until he is 15 and living in Brandstad with another family.  Gertrud is listed as a pauper and she in listed evey year in Brandstad until she dies in 1832. I have searched for her sisters and brothers in that time period and he is not found with any of them.  Would he have been sent to an orphanage?  Would he have still been in Brandstad and just not listed?  Would the child have been taken from her? Were there any orpahages in that area?  Is there any way to find the father's name?  I have been researching this for months and would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
