This is an 1820 bp from Ärtemark (P). The deceased is my MMFFMF. I have spent MANY hours transcribing and translating with help from Bo, Martin and a person from Anbytarforum, but I still have about 30 question marks in the document. The spelling is unusual even for the time period and I have made a number of guesses. I'd be delighted for any review, suggestions, corrections and/or comments. My hope is to present this and the other 10 translations to help others who are attempting the same thing with their relatives. Thanks for any responses! http://www.sandinfamily.com/genealogy-resources/bp-xlat-intro.htm The bp is No. 11 on the left-hand menu. Pages 5-7 have the majority of the question marks, but there are many other uncertainties. Aloha, Pono Norman A. Sandin POB 1602 Kihei, HI 96753 http://www.sandinfamily.com [pau]
