• Kerstin Charlotta works as a maid in the 1880 and 1890 censuses, in different cities in Blekinge . If the Utflyttningslängder record ^[7] with Karl Anton and Kerstin Charl. is the correct pair, then we should see corresponding records in the Inflyttningslängder between 1890 and 1893...and we do:

Kerstin Charlota Peterson arrived in Borås 8 Dec 1892, arriving from Redslared, exit certificate # 328. (Line 339) ^[8]
