I suppose, you are talking about Aron Jonasson, born on May 2, 1838. His mother was Johanna Jansdotter, born in Dalskog, 1816. When his mother moves away, she leaves him with the family where she last worked: crofter Johannes Andersson at Alshagen(?), Trollungsbyn, Dalskog. He stays there between 1844 and 1847. I have not found out, whether they were relatives. (AI:11 p. 108, AI:12 p. 115)
In 1847 Aron moves to Billingsfors nearby, to rejoin his mother, who has married Karl Högman. He stays with his mother and his stepfather's family until 1854, when he moves on at the age of 16. (Billingsfors AI:9 p. 63, AI:10 p. 72) He is noted as being disabled by some disorder in his right knee.
