Ah, thanks for the neat illustration of why you need to check the original records 8).

Yes, that's right. They all have the same names, but if you look at the birth notice, you'll see that this family is in Åbyfallet, and also that the mother is 23 years old -- so not the same people.

The patronymics system, coupled with a rather rigid custom to name children after their grandparents, conspired to make it so that a lot of people had the same names. Wikitree has some pages about Swedish names (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Swedish_names).

PS. Thanks, Jörgen, for the nice map link -- I'll use that in the future!
