Yvonne/Kalle,
I've started looking through the earliest birth records for Kånna (1743,4,5) and I noticed a birth record in 1744 - the first birth record on the top of the righthand page - where it looks like the child's mother is Karin Månsdotter who is married to a Jonas or Jons? Jönsson and there is a witness referred to as Erik of Dragaryd Backagård (no patronymic name).

Now I'm really confused - this witness, Erik of Dragaryd Backagård, could it be the soldier Erik (no longer) Törnqvist, and if so, he couldn't be the husband of Karin Månsdotter.
