Thank you! I couldn't find the word in a dictionary. Medåbo is not a surname?

Heidi Kuosmanen

You mean nämdeman? It is not a surname it is a position of trust

Jenna Smith

FamilySearch has his name indexed with Medåbo as part of his name - most other records are Nils Nilsson Korpi.

Heidi Kuosmanen

Yes I noticed, medåbo is not a surname, it is a occupation

Heidi Kuosmanen

I edited this images index, now it is correct

Thank you for your help!!
