General questions / Need help identifying a word used in an Estate Record in 1797

« skrivet: 2023-01-03, 03:05 »

An ancestor of mine, Jonas Bloomberg, is listed in the preamble section of the estate record of Hedvig Forss from 1797, and I'm trying to figure out their connection.   I think his occupation listed has something to do with being an inspector of school leases, but it is prefixed with a word that I can't determine, with a strange first letter.  It's also used for the person listed before him, which I've highlighted with a red box.  Any ideas of what the word might be?

Also, here's a link to the full context:

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Molander / Origins of Name Molander?

« skrivet: 2022-01-29, 19:09 »

I have an ancestor named Anders Håkansson, who was born in Motala Sweden in 1720, who changed his last name to Molander after he was born.

I had been told long ago by a Swedish grandmother that my last name is derived from the "Mo" of "Motala", but have learned recently that Anders Håkansson Molander was at one time a miller, which can be spelled "Mölnare" in old Swedish, so that makes me wonder if he could have based his new last name on the word Mölnare and not from the parish Motala.  Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated!

Thanks, Mark Molander (8th generation Molander)

Dalby / Elfdalen?

« skrivet: 2021-12-02, 03:15 »

I have an ancestor Karin Larsdotter who has been hard to track.  She was born roughly 1752 (do not know where), and had a child Karin Persdotter in Dalby in 1785, but I soon lost track of her after that.  Late in life she moved to Fryksände in 1823, from a place that looks like it might be Elfdalen, but looks more like Elfvahlen.  Any suggestion for what this place name could be?

Any help would be appreciated.  I've gotten a bit stuck on this one.

Feltolkade yrken / "Hornabaran"?

« skrivet: 2021-10-12, 21:58 »

I have an ancestor named Sven Wahlsten, who lived in the port city of Kalmar in 1780, and had an occupation that I can't figure out.  Looks kind of like "Hornabaran", but wondering if the strange character in the middle of the string is an amperstand.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Mark Molander

Cancer / Unknown type of cancer

« skrivet: 2021-07-16, 21:32 »

My great-great grandmother died in Östergötland Sweden at the age of 42 in 1881.  It appears she died of some type of cancer, but I can't interpret the first word listed for it.  Could someone please interpret the image?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Mark
