Abbreviations in Clerical records

[Nancy Jaderen]

In searching the clerical records for Norrbärke
I found many names with the abbrevation nep. before the name. This usually was included with the listing of the children. What does nep. mean.

Hi Nancy,
 
nep. can means Nepos, a latin word för brotherson or sisterson, nephew.
