Dear Jön-Eric (and Marie):
 
A just came across your message dated tisdag den 11 mars 2003 kl. 19.02, and Marie's answer dated onsdag den 12 mars 2003 kl. 21.02 concerning Olof Didriksson. Didrik is a rather uncommon name. Such names have a tendency to go down through a family. My ancestor #232 Anders Biörnsson had a sister Ingrid, married to Didrik Torbjörnsson (1644 1732). Could there be a link?
 
Sure enough. Didrik and Ingrid had a son Hans (1688). Hans had a daughter Kari (1722), who had a son Didrik (1751) - the father of your Olof!
 
In a later message you write that you have very difficult time trying to get around on these Swedish sites, because of the language barrier. I agree that this can be a problem if you want to read all the fine print, but not unsurmountable if you keep swimming on the surface. On my page http://hem.thalamus.nu/~gvp009251/hem/Tjernebo/Tjernebo.html you find Ingrid (and Didrik) on level 4, in the middle. From there you can click your way around - names and years are universal, as are place names.
 
Didrik had a very interesting older brother Torbjörn. One day I will translate that story into English, for your enjoyment.  
 
Let's keep in touch!
