Interpretation of Household Record

[Ryan Holmstrom]

    Hello all! I'm researching a Karin Andersdotter and I believe I've found her family in a Household Record in the parish of Nysätra in Uppsala. However, I'm having troubling interpreting the Household Record. Specifically, what does "gosrun cander" mean? Is Karin actually the daughter of the pigan Anna, rather than Anders Larsson and his wife Anna? I've attached the record below. Thank you in advance.

I read "gosrun cander" as "gossen [the boy] Zander" - a not too common name, short for Alexander (also spelled Sander). And most likely Karin is the daughter of Anders and Anna, just as the other children and stepchildren in the record.

Since Zander is called "the boy", not "the son", he might be the son of someone else, maybe the maid Anna's son, maybe the son of relatives. Cf. "sonen Anders" and "gåssen Lars" above on the same page.
