Kindstrand Johan August 1832 1838 HER original to show Hela abbreviation.jpg

Hi. Johan August was age one in this HER. The abbreviation "Hela" (under the Read columns) means "whole," which would suggest that he wholly knew his catechism and Svebilius' explanations, but this does not make sense because he was only age 1. Other thoughts? Thanks, J. PS. This abbreviation also exists with older individuals in other HER.

    Johan August as only 1 when the record started, but he would have been nearly 7 when it ended (1838). Perhaps he was precocious!
