Hej Anita, Mats och Inga!
Förlåt att jag har dröjt med att skriva.
I am able to read and write basic Swedish, so if you would rather write to me in Swedish that would be OK.
Just now I am trying to discover everything I can about the family of Karl Vilhelm Åhlin, who was my two sons' farmors farfar.
What you have sent is very interesting. Some I did already know. I found information on Anbytarforum. And I visited Vinäs, the place of Karl Vilhelm's birth, during a trip to Sweden in 2012. I also found his gravestone at the Böda kyrkogård. (I have visited twice before, in 1985 and 1992, but had not found the stone.)
I want to take some time to make a chart of the information you all have sent. Then I will know if I am missing any years.
One question: Mats you mentioned Ulvsdal and called the place where the family lived a “mansion.” I have not been able to find that place on the internet or a large map I have of that area of Sweden. Can you tell me the Swedish word you translated as “mansion.”
