Danske: Konens Moder Almisselem English: Mother of the wife Almisselem

[Wayne Norton]

This came up on an ancester census (1801) listing in our family tree.

Konens Moder Almisselem

Is this refering to the mother of the wife receiving welfare... equivalent of a pension?

I found it funny when I first entered: Konens Moder in google translate: It translates to King's mother.

It means she becomes a kind of support given to the very poor - paid by the local community
