Between the years 1733 and 1748 a special tax was imposed in Sweden for people who wanted to get married. It was a stamp tax called charta sigillata that was 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 marriage records. <br> | Between the years 1733 and 1748 a special tax was imposed in Sweden for people who wanted to get married.
