I'm having difficulty reading and understanding some parts of my ancestor's birth record. Christina Olofsdotter's oäkta son Erik whose father is Erik Salbom (or Salborn?). I can't determine the word before Christina's name (Lvinsperson?) and what I think is a description of his father's location.

I've marked some areas I can't interpret and would greatly appreciate assistance. Tack!

First word is "Qwinsperson", kvinna meaning woman. This was a derogatory term for a woman having a child out of wedlock. Second part is in translation "in the service of cornet von Post, which she also worked for last year"

Thank you Kalle! Knowing she also worked for von Post is very helpful.

Do you think the father's name Salborn is his given name or perhaps a soldier's name or something he chose for himself?

  Hello Tom


I have read the rest in the note, The father was to the child Erik was as far as I can understand Erik Salbom. The child was born in Wagnsteds property in Sigtuna and was baptised in the church.


All the best Ulla
