Rå och rör under Gillanda is the note to the left of Ramberg. This is an old term. Can anyone provide a translation or insight as to what it actually means? Thanks

Found an explanation: https://forum.rotter.se/index.php?topic=127227.0

"Svensk uppslagsbok (1937) upplyser att ”rå och rör” är en äldre benämning på råmärken (alltså gränsmärken som utvisar var rågången mellan två fastigheter löper). En rå är en gränspåle, ett rör ett på ett visst sätt hopsatt stenröse.

Ett rå- och rörshemman var ett frälsehemman som låg inom samma bys rågång som det säteri varunder hemmanet lydde. Rå- och rörshemman åtnjöt sedan 1600-talet viss skattelindring."

= So "rå och rör" are the boundary markers (poles or stones) between farms.

I think I found an transcription of the text: http://runeberg.org/ladal/0519.html

It was a "säteri" [Great-Farm of nobles who had tax-freedom] that was called Gillanda from 1681.

So they had 1/4 in Fulska a 1/4 in Ramborg and 1/4 in Åsen [called Lilla Fuska (note 9)]

You have also these three important terms appearing further below.

Skattehemman. [The land was owned by the farmer (self-ownership), but had to pay rent to the crown]

Cronehemman. [The land was owned by the crown and the user had to pay rent to the crown]

Frälsehemman. [Either owned by the farmer (self-ownership) and had to pay rent to a nobleman OR the land was owned by the nobleman and the user had to pay rent to the nobleman]
