I've spent forever trying to figure that out and you answered it so quickly. Thank you so much! Yes, it is for genealogy and the document dates back to 1898. I'm relatively new to all this so forgive me if I posted to your site by accident. You have been a tremendous help. Thank you, again. You are so amazing!

"Inskrifningssedel" in modern Swedish would be "Inskrivningssedel". "v" instead of "f". Its however not a title. It means a bill of registration (inskrifning = registering one self, sedel = note, paper, document, bill, order). A document for registering oneself to something. Probably the military or perhaps some other duty? How come you want to know about such a word? Are you doing geneaology?

It is a title of a old form. Can you please direct me? Thank you! Hi, I’ve searched everywhere and cannot locate an English translation for the Swedish word “Inskrifningssedel”.

For instance, when I wrote "Umeåtrakten" it translated that to "Porthmouth area". Umeå is a town in the north of Sweden, and "trakten" in "Umeåtrakten" means "area". And instead we ended up in Great Britain... Silver Fox: And then there are those words that Google translates when they shouldnt be translated at all, like names or locations.

Like oolites or oolider or... well, they are round for sure! There are a whole bunch of Swedish words they don't even try to translate.
