Hi Lo, I did a web search with just the word - I think it is a person's name. Persson, Rofrygg Erik (1666-1741) Or perhaps a military rank? I hope it helps:} Barbara in MA ----- Original Message ----- From: LCASSON@COX.NET <LCASSON@cox.net> To: sweden@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:38:56 -0000 (UTC) Subject: [SWEDEN] what is "Rofrygg" ?? Hello, In HFL the word "Rofrygg" is written above the father's name like a place name. It was written thusly on emigration record: Ersson "Rofrygg", Erik. I cannot find any translation of the word in my modern dictionary, my genealogical dictionary or through online translation services.
