I have an 1829 Ärtemark (P) bouppteckning translation online in draft form. It was short and similar to others so I think most of it is OK, but I still have 10 question marks that I hope you can help me with. Here is the direct link to it and the line items with some guesses. The images are available as links to pdf files. http://www.sandinfamily.com/genealogy-resources/olofsdotter-kerstin-bp/1-k-o -bp.htm Page 1 Dösslag = ? skärn å hak = ? and hook stakaqvarn = ?mill Page 2 Saltta Had = salt block? Julråk = ? Kållar = ? tönka Handkläda = ? hand towel Sölf = Personal? Page 3 til Johanes Olofsson i Dåfverud Kläs päningar = to J O in D class? money? til Här pastor madalgär för pistimroin = to Herr Pastor ? for ? Kerstin’s husband died in 1820. She still had two cows with the same names as a cow and a heifer left by her husband. Either they are the same critters or she recycled the names. She had a few other items that could be from her husband’s estate as well. Fascinating. Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. Aloha, Pono Norman A.

Could it be some payment for clothes to the family, or perhaps a clothing allowance for soldiers? > > til Här pastor madalgär för pistimroin > = to Herr Pastor ? for ? --- ??? the last word seems to start with "past-" and perhaps end "-aria", but what it could be...
