Swedish birth record
I think I posted this incorrectly so I'm trying again.
I'm trying to translate the top left birth record for Kierstin
I'm starting to wonder if Lilgegren is actually the last name of a nurse midwife, or maybe a family member? Any help with this is appreciated! Thanks

Family Search has a problem with some links like the one you have entered above. It changes ":" to "%3A" which needs to be manually fixed in order to see the linked image.
Looking at other birth records in this parish, this column is for the names of the witnesses/godparents. The following page (image 23), has a "Magnus Myring" listed as a witness/godparent for Martha Nora who was christened on 6 February 1763. I think that is the same name listed under Anders Olsson in your record.
Three entries below that one (for Christina-b. 15 Feb) has as witnesses/godparents, "Jungfru Eva Maria Lilgegren and wife Maria at St(ora) Rud" which both match (I believe) the last of the witnesses/godparents in your record.
Witnesses/godparents could be family members or they could simply be friends of the family. There isn't any way to tell from your record what, if any, the relationships are.

Norm, I'm so sorry about the link. This is the second time I proposed this, and the first one was from Riksarkivet, which some said was also a bad address.
That's a really good pick up on Magnus Myring under Anders Olsson. So why would Lilegren and Anders Olsson be on so many records as witnesses? Just seems strange that they witness so many times. I guess they're tight, small communities usually.
Not to pester you, but are you able to decifer any of the the info in the previous box on WHERE the parents are from? Fondsol at liting in Stora Rud?
