This link will show the death entry for Karolisa who died less than 1 year old. Her name is about 3/4 of the way toward the bottom of the page and the entry above her also was an infant who looked to have died of the same cause. I would like to know if the symbol or abbreviation is the cause of death.
Thank You

It's a common abbreviation do = ditto (Latin) = same (in this case same as above). So it goes up to entry oang. = oangiven = not given, an alternative way of saying ok. = okänd = unknown.
BTW. The name is Karolina (equals Caroline).

If you mean Johan Maaningas dotter Karolina, then the cause of her death was oang. meaning uncataloged disease.

I have the link for the English translation and it's very handy. I could not make out the letters. So it's 'ditto'. I thought that at first and wasn't sure. Her name though,here is her communion book entry and if you look above her name you will see her sister Greta Lisa which I took the 'S' to look similar to Karolina's. Wow did I read this entry wrong. That's why we have great translators like you to help us along. It's very much appreciated.
Thanks again for your help.
