Translation Request - Swedish Occupation or Civil Status

Forrest Emmett

I have a swedish birth record from 1773 in Högsrum, Kalmar, Sweden. I am trying to understand the father's occupation/civil status in the birth record.

This is the link https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0027508_00067

It is the birth entry for Carl on the left page, top entry.

"d: 31 Juli föddes och d: 3 Aug: döptes barnet

Carl ifrån Stora Rör fadern ?Sintaren?

Niclas Frost och modern Catharina Persdotr..."

Is "Sintaren" the correct transcription? Does someone have any insight into the meaning?

You did very well transcribing the entry! The word you are having difficulties with is "snikaren". Snikare (snickare) is "carpenter" and snikaren (snickaren) is "the carpenter".
