I would appreciate help translating the birth record of my 3rd great grandfather (attached). I see his mother Annicka Olsdotter but don't see a father mentioned. I'm wondering what the word below his birth name is? Perhaps he didn't have a father?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Under Johannes' name is the word "oäkta", which means he is illegitimate. It says his mother, Annicka Olsdotter, is a widow from Sanden.

Thank you. This is very helpful. I will assume that I won’t be able to find his father’s name but it does make me wonder where Johanna’s last name came from. I’ll do a little more researching to see if I find anything else. I think Annicka’s deceased husband was Eric Ericsson so not from him.
