Dear Martin,

Thank you again. The first entry is the one I was interested in, I'm sorry I didn't make that clear in the request.

Can you explain to me what the source abbreviations in the Swedish Death Index mean? For Anna, the sources are listed as: DB, FS. In the SCB death record (http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=...) there is no reference to Anna's place of birth, so I am puzzled how the Swedish Death Index listed it as Malmö Caroli. My Anna was born in Fuglie in 1844, moved to Malmö in 1870, where she can be traced in both Caroli and St. Petri parishes until 1898 (in online household surveys). I suspect the Swedish Death Index has somehow confused Anna's former place of residence with her place of birth, so would like to understand what its sources are.

Thank you and best regards,

Joseph
