Research Notes

There seems to be an error in the parish register, because her burial record was dated 30 Jan 1879 (not in chronological error) and indicates she died at the age of 2 months. However, her baptism was recorded on 2 Feb 1879 and indicated she was born on 16 Jan 1879. She likely died in March 1879. Fremmerlid-1 17:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
