HI Victoria!
There was a Nils in Stråhult in the early 1700's I think. Perhaps he was the father of your Anders Nilsson? You should check up marriages in the surrounding Parishes (or perhaps you have?) and look for Anders Nilsson and Karin/Katarina/Kajsa/Carin/Catharina/Cajsa and similar(That name can be spelled in several ways) Nilsdotter. It is more likely that you find her there than in Southern Skåne more than 100 American miles away. I have several discs with over a million marriages in Southern Sweden, but not in Koronbergs Län I am affraid. I still checked them up and the closest I came (with Anders Nilsson and variations of Karin Nilsdotter 1720-1745) to Ljungby in western Kronoberg was Nässjö (Flisby Parish) and Kalmar (Ålem Parish) but that is still too long distance to be probable I think, almost as far away as Bollerup.
Do you have any clues like how old Anders and Karin were when they died or some data from a husförhör?
Here are the Parishes in Sunnerbo Härad:
I Markaryds kommun
Markaryds socken Hinneryds socken Traryds socken
I Älmhults kommun
Göteryds socken Hallaryds socken Pjätteryds socken I Ljungby kommun
Vittaryds socken Berga socken Dörarps socken Ryssby socken Tutaryds socken Agunnaryds socken Odensjö socken Lidhults socken Vrå socken Annerstads socken Torpa socken Nöttja socken Angelstads socken Ljungby socken Kånna socken Södra Ljunga socken Hamneda socken
Since you think they moved to Torpa I would start with that one and then take the ones in Ljungby Kommun.
