The Callanderian estate (named after Sofia Nordvaeger, néeCallander)
1815 August 9, N. S. Colliander, “Allmän Kungörelse [Publick Notice]”, inWexiö Tidning, number61,page 4:
Till Gyllenpalmska Famillen hafva sedan sista redovisning influtit: En skärf från 2:ne Enkor till den fattiga famillen. Många bäckar små göra en stor å, 2 R:dr R:gd d. 17 Juli 1815.
Unto the Familyof Gyllenpalm hath since the last account been received: A small gift from two widows to the poor family. Many a little makes a mickle, 2 Rixdollars, the 17th of July, 1815.
In older practice, a husband's title suffixed with-ska formed a title for his wife. For example, the wife of a captain (kapten) would be akaptenska ("captainess"). This practice gradually began dying out around the 1950s. See the article ondu-reformen on Wikipedia for more information.
