Father of Hans Nielsen (LRX5-JMY) of By, Varmland, Sweden (Birth Record)

Camille Seeley Bell

Can you read the Possible Original Christening Record for Hans Nielsen (LRX5-JMY) found in his sources.

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/LRX5-JMY

In the 1788 Household Examination Record it states he was born 1726 in By Sogn.

Thank You for your help, Camille Seeley Bell

Sorry, but this birth record is probably not for Hans Nilsson. There is no name given for the child in this record. I have looked at a number of children christened by this same person (Wenerberg) and it appears he very often only enters the father's name and the witnesses names-no child's name is entered in most of his entries.

What is says is: the 6th February (was) christened soldier _____________(father's name, but it is unclear) child in ____________ (possibly Arsby or Arfby).

Male witnesses: Nils Ersson and ______ ________ in Arfby(?).

Female witnesses: Margeta in Arsby(?) and Margeta in __________.

What I think you are taking to be the child's name "Hans", is actually the word "Barn-child".
