Thank you so much. I am sure that this is Anders Olofsson. I looked at birth records for Hofva and there is only one Anders born on that day. His brother, Johan, my great-grandfather also changed his name from Olofsson to Hagg. However, he became a soldier so I can understand the name change in his case. I don't know why Anders would change his name. This practice makes it difficult to trace the family tree. I believe that my 2nd great-grandfather on my mother's side must have changed his name also as I have looked for his parents for years now and cannot find them. He was Petter Sjoholm but I don't see Sjoholms before him. In any case, thanks again. I'm not sure the sequence of Anders' moves as I have a "Moving Out" record for him from Langebro to Stockholm in 1840. So I guess he moved there for work as a servant in someone's home??? I found the record you referenced in Harsosand, which is interesting as my mother came from that area; but Anders is related to me on my father's side and moved quite a distance for those times. Thanks, Carol
