Translation

[Carol Kemp]

What is the definition of Båtsmansson[/color]I have tried several translation websites.  The closest is something to do with boats.  The person I'm looking at moved to America and is listed as a master mariner, so I believe this is probably the same person. 

[Maud Svensson]

båtsmansson = a son of a båtsman
båtsman ≈ marine
