No notation about Bengta being illegitimate, you may want to look through the pages to see if this priest usually recorded children as illegitimate. // Bo Johansson > > Kathleen Brown wrote 2012-11-14 21:51: >> >> Hello, I was hoping someone would please help me translate Household >> records for the Ola Esbjörnsson Family.
