I would be grateful if someone could translate this for me. Ingeborg was married twice. Her second husband is Matz Olofsson.

These details would need to be confirmed with other records, of course, but this is my understanding of the document in a quick summary.

Thank you! This gives some insight into Ingeborg's character. I knew about her first 5 children but am happy to learn there were 4 more. I will look for their records. Am grateful to have her death date confirmed too!

Another possibility is it's a place name Wall (short for Walla or Wallsjön) before Mats Olofsson the the beginning. They had a tradition in Dalarna to put the name of a farm in front of a farmers name. He was residing in Sälen but maybe it referred to where he farmed? It could be Walloon. Either way it needs other records to understand it. After 5 children 2 sons and 3 daughters it reads 2ne döttrar lefva meaning 2 of the three daughters were still living at the time. I think Mats Olsson is of Sälen.
