I found a moving record for a distant great-grandmother and would love to have some details. I can see the names: Anders Hermansson and Ingebor Mattsdotter. They were married 15 Oct 1786 in Tygelsjö and I think that is there. The ages I think are 27 for Ingebor and 29 for Anders. Something occurs in August in Hököpinge and I think that the November date is when they arrived in Arrie. (ArkivDigital: Arrie (M) HII:2 (1786-1790) Image: 310)

This is what I read:

Nu mera äktafolken Anders Hermanßon och Ingebor Mattisdotter, som den 15 october blefwo sammanvigde i Tygelsiö Kyrka, han vid 27 års ålder och hon 29 år gammal, hafwa härstädes varit af b_?kindeligt utvärtes upforande. Han är nog svag så i utanläsningen som begrepp ut af christendomens stycken: hon ej allenigt läser rent utantill såwäl alt hvad lilla katechesen innehåller utan och en god del af Swebilii förklaring, äger tillika en någorlunda försvarlig Christendoms stykens kunskap. Herrans Heliga Nattvard begingo de bägge nästvekne Augusti månad. Vid deras flöttning till Hökiöpinge församling lämnas dem detta vittnesbörd af Tygelsiö den 13 November 1786.

Translation:

The spouses Anders Hermanßon and Ingebor Mattisdotter, who on 15 October were married in Tygelsjö church, he at the age of 27 years and she 29 years old, have been here of impeccable? external behaviour. He is somewhat weak in the reading by heart and understanding of the Christian faith's main parts: she not only reads well by heart all what the little catechism contains but also a good part of Svebilius' explanation, and also has a reasonably sound knowledge of the Christian faith's main parts. They both celebrated the Lord's Holy Communion last August. This testimony is given to them for their move to Hököping parish by Tygelsjö parish on 13 November 1786.

Comments:

This is a "Flyttningsintyg", a moving certificate, people had to request from their parish when relocating from one parish to another, here from Tygelsjö to Hököping, a distance of just 2 miles.

It is Anders who is 27 and Ingebor who is 29. The main part of the record is about their behaviour and knowledge in Christian teaching. The "Christian faith's main parts" refer to Martin Luther's Small Catechism (https://bookofconcord.org/small-catechism/) which formed the basis of Christian teaching.

Olov Svebelius (1624-1700) was a Swedish priest and archbishop of Uppsala who wrote an explanation to Luther's Small Catechism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olov_Svebilius
