Skrivet av: Kalle Birgersson skrivet 2021-06-14, 20:02: It states there was six children, four sons and three daughters. I don't really understand the maths behind that, but at least the sons are named. Johannes and Erik was present, Olof and Jacob was busy somewhere else and was represented by a Jacob Davidsson in Räffiäll. As far as I can see, the daughters are not named. A miller, Petter Andersson in Häggebo, was busy working so his wife came, maybe that's one of the daughters? And someone else could also not come that day, and his wife had to stay home with a sick children so she was also not present.

The evaluation was done for tax reasons, but also to make sure the inheritance was split properly. There was a lot of disputes before the evaluations started. It was made compulsory from 1734, but much of the oldest material are lost now.
