I understand that this is where to post for Västernorrland. I found birth record of Alnö, Västernorrland. But the parish on Alnö is not listed on this website. On the birth record it had Hovid which I think is the locality in Alnö parish. when I look at a map they look so far apart. Even further is that the parents move from Värmland near the beginning of there marriage.

Hi!
Alnö parish discussions can be found here:

Hovid is a village on Alnön, an island outside of Sundsvall (and, I assume, constitutes the whole of Alnö parish):

In the end of the 1800-hundreds a lot of people from Värmland moved to the northern coast to work in the new sawmills in Sundsvall, Alnö, Kramfors etc
