I am seeking the parents and siblings of Halsten (or Haeken) Hellgren, born in 1720 in Grava socken, Värmlands län.
Halsten was a trumslagare (drummer) and non-commissioned officer with the Närke-Värmlands regimente. He enlisted in the army November 18, 1737, and retired in 1777. The family lived at Åtorp, Grava parish, Värmlands län, before they moved to Norra Ölmhult, Väse parish, in 1759. His wife and four children moved alone because he was away at the Seven Years' War from 1756-63. Halsten returned to Väse parish after the war in 1763. In 1768 the family moved to Göranstorp, Väse parish.
