The stamp of "Poliskammaren i Göteborg" is made at the emigration office at the place of exit from Sweden (here Gothenburg) so this is not seen on "Flyttningsbevis" used when moving within Sweden.

Edvard Viding (name of priest)


The 'P" below the priest's name means "priest" but I'm not sure what the handwritten extra "L" means.
