-Charta Sigillata: För åren 1733-1748 utgick en särskild skatt på lysningar till bröllop. I samband med att man tog ut lysningen hos prästen fick man erlägga en "charta sigillata" stämpelpapperavgift. Denna avgift redovisade prästen sedan årsvis vidare till kronan genom utdrag ur lysnings- och vigselboken. I vissa fall framgår det bara vilket pastorat (två församlingar) lysningen kommer ifrån, ibland är det osäkert vilket år det handlar om, men ändå är det ett bra ersättningsmaterial för de socknar där det idag saknas lysnings- och vigselböcker.
+Between the years 1733 and 1748 a special tax was imposed in Sweden for people who wanted to get married. It was called charta sigillata which was a stamp tax paid as part of the engagement process. The money was paid to the parish priest who would pay the tax authorities based on the number of marriages that were registered in the parish engagement and marriage record. During this time period it is common to see an abbreviation Ch. Sig. or Chart. Sig. with a money amount in the parish marriage records. <br>
-Givetvis finns det bara registrerade vigslar under den tiden det finns vigselböcker för de olika församlingarna bevarade. Antalet vigslar som är registrerade är 204.584.
+If the priest was responsible for multiple parishes then the list given to the tax authorities might be for all the parishes in the [[Swedish_Pastorat|pastorat]]. Nonetheless the charta sigillata records can be a good source when the engagement and marriage records for a parish are missing.
-For the years 1733-1748 there was a tax on banns for marriage. When a man took out banns with the priest he had to pay for a "charta sigillata" stamp.The money collected by the priest was paid annually to the Crown by extracting information from the banns and marriage book.

-The number of marriages which are registered is 204,584.
+As a note, you cannot assume that if a marriage is not listed in the charta sigillata records then the marriage did not happen. The number of marriages that were registered in charta sigillata is 204,584.&nbsp;Stamp taxes were used in Sweden for many reasons between 1660 and 1 July, 1992.
