Hi again Vicki. Some thoughts on your question: In the first entry (AI:1 page 253) Karin has not been noted as examinated, just that she moves from the soldier's croft under Kånna Skattegård to sockenstugan in 1810 (page 287). It does not say how long she has lived there. In AI:2 page 95, she is examined in 1811 and listed as moved to Högarna in 1812. In Högarna (page 89) she is examined only in 1812, and listed as allmosehjon, i.e. she is poor, cannot support her self but lives on gifts probably from the community, and is sometimes placed in other peoples home for a while, and then moved back to the "poor house" - fattigstugan, sockenstugan (the name can vary in different places). 1813 she is back in sockenstugan (page 95 again) and is examined through 1820. In Ljungby AI:4 (which contains the Kånna book too) page 179 she is still listed from 1821, and dies there.
I note that she is described as a widow - have you found out anything on her marriage?
Something that could be worth following is a birth note: A child Jöns was born in 1783 baptized Feb 2. Father Per Erlandsson, mother Karin Jons- or Jönsdotter? in Lunnarpstorps stuga. One of the witnesses is Sten Jönsson in Lunnarp.
