Swedish Household Record Help

Regarding the Stora Mellösa, Örebro, Sweden, A1: 5, 1773-1779, p.182, Usta No. 4 record posted below (in sections): 

 

For the 4th entry (Cherstin Olsdotter, 1761): What are the comments to the right of her name? Something to do with being illegitimate?

Also, what is the HD to the left of her name indicate?

 

Further down the same page is her future husband (crossed off) Anders Andersson, and he has similar notes to the right of his name. What do they say?

Also, what is the word directly to the right of his name?

 

Finally, in all other records (see last-3rd- picture below) there is the word potest[?].

What does that mean? protestant?

 

Thank you for any help!

Norm Baker

I can only help with a couple of your questions right now.

 

First:

Also, what is the HD to the left of her name indicate?

I believe it means "hans (his) daughter", ie. not her daughter- (also, HS would then be "hans (his) son"

 

Second:

Also, what is the word directly to the right of his name?

It is probably his birth parish. It looks like it is Lännäs parish which is next door to Stora Mellösa. (see here for a map of parishes in Örebro county: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/%C3%96rebro_County,_Sweden_Genealogy )

I am not sure about all words but the meaning is that the children are working in Wåhla

Norm is correct, HD means hans dotter = his daughter, but actually in this case nether one is Cherstin Olsdotter's biological parents. Her parents are Olof Pärsson b. 19 Aug 1723 - d. 31 May 1766 and Brita Andersdotter b. 25 Oct 1730 - 28 Sept 1770

Further down the same page is her future husband (crossed off) Anders Andersson, and he has similar notes to the right of his name. What do they say?

Also, what is the word directly to the right of his name?

 

Anders Andersson born at 1759 in Lännas is also working in Wåhla

Refering to the knowledge of Christianity

(Anders Andersson and Kerstin Olsdotter in the third image are not same persons that are in the first two ones.)

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your help!!

I should have been clearer that the 3rd image was not the same people. They were relatives with the same word (that I now know is potest😀), but it was an easier image to read.

Heidi Kuosmanen

I thought so, that you knew that they were different, but wanted to make sure, because they had same names
