Hello,
I've been trying to find the birth record of my 4th great-grandmother Ingaborg Gustafsdotter in Odensvi where her spouse Anders Johansson (1731) was born to no avail. Now I believe I may have found her in Gamleby, born 8 Feb 1734 (or the 6th?), Gamleby C:3, page 235, the father Samuel Samuelsson. Could anyone tell me if this is likely the mother of Jaen Andersson (1763) of Smältaretorpet, Odensvi? Also, if this is correct, is Ingaborg's mother Brita Pårsddotter and does it list a location for the parents?
Thanks for any help,
Pamela

That birth record start with "Arendatorens Petter Anderssons...", thus the child is Ingeborg Pettersdotter (or Persdotter). You have given the mother wrong name, she is Ingeborg Samuelsdotter, thus it can't be this one in Gamleby. Have you followed the family forward in examination records, it happens that more details are revealed later?

I see that now. Thank you! So I made 2 mistakes - I meant to say Ingaborg Samuelsdotter!

I have followed the family of Ingaborg and Anders at Smältaretorpet, Odensvi but I have not found her birth record yet. Odensvi AI:6 page 323 does list a Samuel Persson and Kierstin Persdotter (?) at Smältaretorpet, both age 75, but I do not know if they are her parents.

The family is at Smältaretorpet in Odensvi AI:6 (1772-1780) Bild 30 / sid 47 (AID: v23660.b30.s47, NAD: SE/VALA/00288) but they have left on page 104. Do you know where they have gone? Dp you know where any of their children is later in their life? Have you found their marriage?

Yes, they were married 8 Oct 1758 (Odensvi C:4 Bild 28 page 45). Some of them are still there at Bild 142 page 271. I found the birth records for the children including son Johan/Jaen and have no problem with later records. But have had difficultly finding anything about mother Ingeborg anywhere. And I realize we may never know but thought I would see if anyone else had some resources I do not have.

Leif, you were right - more details are revealed later. I was able to verify the death record I found was actually for the right person. Ingaborg Samuelsdotter died at Hårfva, Lofta 14 Aug 1794 just before the birth of her twin grandchildren. And I'm hoping that more searching might help find her birth record. Thank you!
