Swedish Translation Request: Death and Burial of Per Andersson in Harsangen, Högsäter Parish

Joellen McAlister

Per Andersson, L8MB-NV3, born 28 November 1733 in Härsängen, Högsäter, Älvsborg, Sweden, son of Anders Nilsson. I found a death and burial record in 1733 in the same place, I believe. Can you confirm the farm name and the date of death or burial?

It is the last entry in 1733, image 538. In the link above after ark remove %3A and it should take you to the correct link.

Thanks so much!

Søndag ?..?, Pehr Andersson i N[edre] Gudhem, 65 åhr gammal.

Anders Nilssons barn i Hersängen w. n. (?with name?) Pehr. a.w. gammal [don't know what a.w. stands for]

This seems to be two different entries!

A Pehr Andersson, who dies at 65 years of age in Nedre Gudhem.

AND the death of a child named Pehr, who is the son of Anders Nilsson in Härsängen.

This is just a guess, but maybe it says: "Söndag e. Juhl" = Sundag after Yule?

In 1733 that was the 27. December for the burials of both.

The last entry of the former page was 3. sunday after advent [13. December 1733] and since it does NOT say 3. or 4. Adv. -> there is only one sunday left, before it is 1734!

Thanks, Niels! I will need to find him in the clerical surveys to know which death record is his!

What was the burial date on the one in 1733? I thought the age may have said 4 weeks?

Joellen: You are correct 4. w gl [4 veckor gammal] = 4 weeks old!

Did you see the burial date in December 1733? He was born 28 November 1733, so if he’s the last death entry in December, age four weeks, it sounds like him. The father’s name and the farm all match. I just need the death or burial date.

Thanks again.
