I am curious what the word is before Olof Wargren's name on his family's clerical record from 1826. I am assume it describes his occupation or status.

Thank you,

It looks like Skjep. I believe it may be an abbreviation (with an extra J) for Skeppare or in english Skipper, like the captain of a boat.
