According to Tom Jahn:

From the book "Med kur-slade (winter-"covered"-sled from (>1100KM or >700 miles) Kalix - Waldemarsudde" I remember, I read what Johan(nes) said/wrote about his father (Olof Samuelsson Berg):

"Hoegtbetrodd tolfman. "Ord var nog, ej ed." (Highly trusted/regarded "tvelve-man" (naemdeman; (appointed juror)). His word was enough. Oath (on the bible) not necessary!!)"
