Hi Donna,
Regarding Anna Stina's mother, it seems to me that Maja-Lisa contains two common nicknames for the given names, Maria and Elisabeth. I have found that my own ancestors frequently went by a preferred shorthand name and seldom used their full given name (except maybe on official documents). The clerical survey records Olle cites typically noted people by their preferred name. You'd have to consult Maja-Lisa's birth record in Långserud parish to confirm her true given name and it might even be recorded as Maja Lisa. But in any case, I think it is fair to say that Lisa is a match with Elisabeth.
