Thank you to Naomi, Martin & Mark. Of course seeing the actual record raises many questions. It also tells me the names of her siblings. Naomi, on the birth record does her record go across to the other page and if it does, since there are no column headers what is the information contained there, it looks like names. Martin, on the records you had for me, why are there 2 Flyttat columns and what do the numbers there mean? It looks like Sigrid's was 334 and 89 in one and 334 and 88 6/ in the other? Then what is the Finnskoga in the Flyttat column for Marit? Then in the second picture it looks like Marit (the mother) is not there, I think the first picture says she died in 88, and the sister Marit is not there, and it looks like the sister Kerstin has gone somewhere also. Mark, I will check out the on-line records as soon as I get back from vacation where my internet is being slow.

Yes the birth record goes across to other page. The names listed on that page are the Testes - witnesses or sponsors at the baptism. Reading across the columns: Birth number for the year Date of Birth Date of Baptism Sex of Child (1st one is for male and the 2nd is for female) a mark is made in one or ther other column Name of child Names of parents Place where parents were living and page number in Household Record when the birth occured Age of Mother Names of Testes (usually family members or close neighbors) Hope this helps you.
