Swedish HHE notes need translating please [closed]

Question

Hello again,

I am going back over some older Swedish profiles of mine to see if I missed anything. So I will have a few translation requests soon. This question is for Carl Johansson’s son, Hans Carlsson (Brusk) 1725 | 1750. Could someone please tell me what it says above Hans Carlsson? I am only getting that he is Carl Carlsson’s Brod/Brother : och? ...

I really appreciate the help! 

Ramsberg, A I/8 b (1754-1772), page 234

Hi,

Its written that he is Mäst: Svenn which is short for Mästersvenn. I think that was a title of a hammersmith before advancing to master.

Thank you! Yes, a Mästersvenn is a master smith’s second in command, as I was told. I thought he may have been a Smith going by something I read in a different source.

Appreciate your help!
