I am sorry that I cannot read Swedish better. From what I can tell, Lennart has records for Sara Magnusson's earlier family. But I cannot be sure of the details without translation. Thank you, Lennart, for your efforts.
From what I can tell from the ancestery given to me, many of my ancestors came from villages not far from the town of Torsby within Torsby kommun in Värmland county. And if I were to visit Sweden to see where my ancestors came from, I could fly in Torsby and easily easily get to these other villages -- places such as Röbjörkeby, Åmtervick, Södra Lekvattnet and Södra Granbäckstorp -- from there, with Sunne a bit further north. Is this accurate thinking?
Also, is Gräsmark a village in Torsby kommun, or the name of a church/parish?
And for sharing this information with my American cousins, is it not most accurate to list birth places by 1. village name, 2. Torsy kommun, 3. Värmland, 4. Sweden. I know that mention of the parish name is important as a source reference for birth records, but is it really necessary to list the parish name?
