I am having difficult on this parish name. As there is no W in Swedish, can I assume the entry (GID 1951.19.23500, lines 1-7) is refering to the village Wing in Södra Ving? (Also, where, on the map, is Södra Ving ?) I searched through the village in the 1871 - 1880 records but could not find the family records.

Hi,
Södra Ving is neighboring parish to Timmele.
In the early 1900's was the spelling of words, modernized, W becomes V, Wing becomes Ving. There are two parishes named Ving, one in Skaraborg County and one in Ävsborgs County. In order to separate them so Ving in Skaraborg county called Norra Wing and Ving in Ävsborgs County called Södra Ving.

Thanks, that explains why I could not find Norra Wing in Ävsborgs. I will have to search through Södra Ving again for the records I am searching for.

Hi Hiel,
There is no W in Swedish when it comes to pronounciation. But in writing W was and is often used instead of V, maybe just as decoration.

Hi Hiel,
If you ar searching for widow Lotta Svensdotter and her children, you will find them in Södra Ving A1:8
p 407, GID 1949.18.54100.

Hi,
Thank you all for the information. Once I determined that Södra Ving was the correct parrish I was able to find the family records. Lotta married Andreas Petterson and they had a daughter, Hanna in 1876. Andreas lived in Södra Ving so this is why the family moved from Timmele in 1874. Lotta is my great grandmother. I know that one of Lotta's daughters, Anna Mathilda (my great aunt Tilda) married a Samuelsson and lived in the area until she died. Now I must use some census records for searching. I have a picture with all of these people in it, and now I know the names of most of them.
I have seen pictures of the church at Södra Ving on the internet (http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B6dra_Vings_kyrka). It appears to be a very nice village.
regards

Hello,
I am continuing my search of Lotta Svensdotter and her family. She was married to Anders Lind (August Jönasson). When Anders died, Lotta married Andreas Petterson. Lotta and Anders had 3 children that lived to adults, Anna Mathilda Lind, Elizabeth Lind, and Carl Johan Lind. As stated earlier, they can be found in Södra Ving A1:8 p 407, GID 1949.18.54100.
I have all the genealogy information on Carl Johan and his family (he was my grandfather and he left Sweden for the USA 17 Mar 1896).
Anna Mathilda (born 09 Dec 1864 in Timmele, died 26 Aug 1947) married Frans Gustaf Samuelsson 23 Jun 1886 in Södra Ving (born 01 Mar 1862, died 05 Feb 1942) and they had at least 1 daughter, Esther Olivia Samuelsson (born 20 Nov 1887 in Södra Ving, died ?) They also had another daughter that died at birth 02 Dec 1892.
Elizabeth (born 18 Apr 1867 in Blidsberg, died ?) married Gustaf Robert Björkman (who, I believe was a soldier, given name Gustaf Andersson born 26 Mar 1865 in Dalum, died 05 Mar 1947), 16 Apr 1887 in Södra Ving. I did a search of the church records in Södra Ving, but could not find any children.
I am searching for additional information for the families of Anna and Elizabeth and any decendants. Any information that can be provided would be of interest to me.
Thanks for all the earlier help.
Regards

Thank you for finding the information. I think you have confirmed that Elizabet and Gustaf had no children if Elizabet's niece moves into the farm of Elizabet and Gustaf.
Would the children of Frans Gustaf Samuelsson and Anna Matilda Lind take the last name Samuelson? I believe they were born around the time that family names were used as last names in place of the father's first name + sson or +sdotter (late 1880's - 1890's).
