Titel: SV: Needing help in Börstil

Hi Diane,
Your great grandfather Matthias Mattsson was indeed born in Börstil, but earlier in 1874 the family had moved there from the neighbouring parish of Harg, where his parents and his elder brother were born. Björnvreten was also situated in Harg (Harg AI:21, p 287), and it wasn't really a farm but a "torp", as the Swedish term is, usually translated as "croft" in English.
I'm not sure what kind of information you're looking for, but I have quite a number of ancestors in Börstil and Harg, and I may be able to help you.
