This is a Finland Household exam from1817 to 1823. There are several family members in the same household who died in the same year, Can you tell what they died from? Thankyou

Which family​ you mean?

They all died from different cause of death.​

Carl Petter Johansson. It appears his wife Anna Maja and 2 of his children died.

Thank-you

The household record doesn't give the cause of death, but you can find that in the death records for Finström.

The cause of death of the mother, Anna Maja Ersdotter, who died 10 July 1821, is "Frossa", which is translated as "Ague". See here: https://digihakemisto.appspot.com/edit?kuvanumero=323&kuid=9446352&amnimeke=Finström+församlings+arkiv&sarnimi=Syntyneiden+ja+kastettujen+luettelot&aynimi=Syntyneiden+ja+kastettujen+luettelot+1809-1882&ay=2613279&sartun=312972.KA&atun=324021.KA&ay2=128876

 

The cause of Carl Gustaf's death, 4 Sept. 1820, appears to be "mässling" or "messling", which is "measles". See here: https://digihakemisto.appspot.com/edit?kuvanumero=322&kuid=9446351&amnimeke=Finström+församlings+arkiv&sarnimi=Syntyneiden+ja+kastettujen+luettelot&aynimi=Syntyneiden+ja+kastettujen+luettelot+1809-1882&ay=2613279&sartun=312972.KA&atun=324021.KA&ay2=128876

 

Erik's death, 4 August 1820, is "O.B.S". I believe that means "Obekant sjukdom"-"unknown sickness". He is just 3 lines above Carl Gustaf.

 

This is a great resource for translating the old Swedish records to English: https://swedishgenealogyguide.com/dictionaries/swedish-historical-dictionary-database-shdd . You can search with the beginning, middle or end of a word but you must use the diacritics-"ä, å and ö".
