Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me find an ancestor in this record?
Her name is Ignar Knutson/Knutsdotter. Examination Book records list her birthdate as August 2, 1827, and Birthplace as “Raus.” I’d like to check the Raus Parish Birth/Christening records for her name. I believe these are the correct pages of the record, but that’s as far as I could get with Google Translate!
Images are attached, but here is the link to the full record, the images are of pages 354 and 355 of the document. Would anyone who knows Swedish be willing to look for her name on these pages?
Thank you so much for your help!

I am sorry, but these are death records.
This is Ingar's birth record (bottom entry): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0068494_00246#?c=&m=&s=&cv=245&xywh=3040%2C2857%2C2759%2C1770 . She was born on 2 August and christened 8 August. Her father is Knut Pettersson and her mother is Kirstina Bengtsdotter. I believe the place is Pålstorp in Raus.

Raus is a good parish to do research. Almost all birth-marriage-death records prior to 1894 are indexed in the DDSS (Demographical Database for Southern Sweden). You can find it here, it is also in English: http://www.ddss.nu/databases
Ingar is Knutsdotter (daughter of Knut), it is a patronymic.
Knutsson means son of Knut. Later, about 1880-1900, some people took their father's patronymic as their family name thus there are also females with names like Pettersson, Eriksson, etc.

Heidi, this is wonderful information! Thank you so much! DDSS will be such a help! I have many relatives who need standardized locations for their life event. I'm excited to use it more!

You are doing just fine. I have spent time occasionally looking for a record in the wrong place
