[Barbara Dilling]

Magnus Carlsson and Catharina Svensdotter marry in Pjattered on 21 April 1857.  Catharina had an illegitimate son Carl Johan on 2 June 1849 in Pjattered.  She also has a daughter Karolina on 14 May 1853 in Finja, Kristianstad and Magnus Carlsson is listed as the father.  Is Karolina also illegitimate since Magnus and Catharina were not married at the time of her birth?  The entry does not list her as oakta.

[Maud Svensson]

Karolina was a legitimate child, as her mother Kathrina Svensdotter was Magnus Karlsson’s fästeqvinna = betrothed; fiancee.
