Thank you for your help with the examination records.

Thank you so much!! In trying to solve a Swedish family mystery, I have turned to these books. Your explanation was great!

very much appreciated - I am studying Paleography and learning to read Scandinavian records. Your video is helpful to break down the books and make sense of the records. I look forward to watching more :)

EDIT: Of course when I'm explaining the difference between European and American dates, I get the two mixed up! Dates are written as DAY/MONTH - not month/day as I erroneously said at minute mark 6:50!

Love your videos! This was very helpful. I am looking at a record for my ancestor and in the Moved-In column for the place/page number, it only has numbers. On this particular document it has the numbers " 55,3 - 77 " The "3" is half as tall as the "55" and the "77" and there is no space on either side of the comma. The year is 75 and the certificate number is 127. I don't know why it has a comma and why the "3" is small...possibly subscripted or superscripted??? All the other entries on this document and several other documents are listed in the same manner. I have not found a record for my ancestors yet that has a "p" or "pag" for page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for posting this and the other videos!!!
