Hi Peg, As a reply to your question, I would like to add the following to my last message: When Jacob Danielsson was married on Jul 2, 1761 (wrong year in the last message), he came from Rämsberget. He was then a widower and married the widow Britta Larsdotter. They had a son, Daniel, b 3/18/1762.
You write that Lars Svensson was born in Vålberget and his father was Sven Larsson. There is only one Lars Svensson born in Vålberget during the 1740's, according to Familjetabeller..., and he is the son of Sven Larsson (1719-1780) and Kerstin Matsdotter Kemppainen (1718-1778), born on Sep 23, 1745. Sven and Kerstin were married in Norra Råda parish on May 4, 1740 and their other children are: Annika b 9/26/1740, Kerstin b 8/26/1742 d 7/20/1746, Mattes b 9/23/1747, Kerstin b 8/13/1750 buried in Dec 1763, Karin b 5/2/1754, Sven b 11/13/1758 and Lisa b 5/28/1761 d 5/4/1762. As always, you should check the original records for a confirmation. The parish in question is Norra Råda, to which Gustav Adolf belonged (GA started to keep its own records in 1786/1789 and prior to that year, the largest part is noted in the Norra Råda books.)
There is no info about Pulls. The last name of Kerstin Matsdotter, Kemppainen, is Finnish, but I have no info about this family. Maybe contacting Finnkulturcentrum, e-mail: finnkulturcentrum@torsby.se, or posting a query in the Värmland section here in Anbytarforum will give you some answers.
Unfortunately, there is nothing about the children of Lars Svensson and Lisa Jacobsdotter. Since Lars Svensson came from Rämsberget when he married in 1766 and possibly Lisa Jacobsdotter too (at least originally, if she is the daughter of Jacob Danielsson), they probably settled there. I can only find one Rämsberget, and it is in the province of Dalarna, halfway between Äppelbo and Tyngsjö. There are several places with the prefix, as well as the suffix, räm in this area, so it is possible that this is not the right one. Therefore, there is the problem: to which parish (where you can check the birth records of Lars Svensson's children) did Rämsberget belong? Maybe some other reader of Anbytarforum know this.
I hope that your research has been taken at least a little step further by this information! Best regards, Lars
