The person page
Everything about one person, in one place
The family, facts with their source status, and "To do for Erik": what lacks a source, and the censuses nobody has checked yet.
Sources

A Digitalarkivet link becomes a citation, and the row in the church book is marked – so everyone sees where the fact comes from.
Life line
A life, and the times it was lived in

Family
Parents, siblings and children – with portraits
Every link shows how well it is documented. Empty places invite you to fill them in.
Photos and documents

Layer 2 · The source
Haus, parish register A 18, baptisms 1874 – the row marked
Layer 3 · The reasoning
The baptism register was written a few weeks after the birth – a primary source close to the event. It weighs most when sources disagree.
