Reading note in Swedish household record

Ulrich Neitzel

Can anyone read this note in the household record for Kerstin Svensdotter (PMG5-2LM):

Or does someone have access to the record in ArkivDigital that might provide better quality?

Hei @Ulrich Neitzel

Looking at the note for Kjerstin Svensdotter in the household examination record in Arkivdigital is not a whole lot better than the image in Riksarkivet. That said, I think it reads "__ut vara af Routh(?) Kyrkolag___ Gersonii hustru Sn Slut Su_i(?) F". ("Sn Slut Su_i(?) F" is also written in the space 2 lines below Kjerstin's note.)

I am adding a link to the FamilySearch catalog record here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GY7X-SSXN?cat=240798&i=94&lang=en. Hopefully, you will be able to access it. It is as clear as the record in Arkivdigital.

I see that the son, Sixten Georg, is Kjerstin Svensdotter's illegitimate son and that the man listed at the top of the page is Fanjunk(are) C F Gersonii. So that makes me wonder if he might be the father of Sixten Georg.

Looking in the previous book in Arkivdigital (ArkivDigital: Traryd (G) AI:8 (1837-1844) Image: 83 Page: 70) , you can see the same note with some added information. I will attach an image of that.

Thank you, @Norm Baker. I agree with your assumption that CF Gersonius is the father of Sixten Georg, especially since both Sixten Georg and Kjerstin Svensdotter bore the surname Gersonius in later life. However, I couldn't find a marriage record and both Kjerstin and CF Gersonius were labelled "unmarried" in their death records.

With your input I now guess that the note here is "lär vara af Rooth(?) kyrkotagen ss. [såsom] Gersonii hustru." (is said to be taken to church by Rooth(?) as Gersonius' wife). Rooth may be the name of a pastor.
