In the 1870 Danish Census records there is a column regarding religious affiliation. Under this heading, a denomination is often filled out for heads of household, but undernearth (in the same column) is a word used for other family members that may suggest the same denomination. The word looks like Sv or an So, or Lv or something. What does this repeated symbol represent?
