Attached is a copy of the first page of an estate inventory for Jacob Svensson. Jacob Svensson was married twice, however, I see references to only the eldest son of each of his marriages (Håkan Jacobsson from his first marriage and Sven Jacobsson from his second marriage), None of the other children from these marriages are listed, including my ancestor. Can anyone tell me if each of them were representing all children from their respective families? All of these children were of age by 1818.
Any help in understanding this estate inventory would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
Vicki

Hi Jörgen. After receiving your latest response, I tried to respond to you from my iphone, but it apparently didn't go through. So, I'll try again!  Thank you for this additional information! There is so much to learn about researching this far back but I figure it is worth a try and hope I don't ask too many stupid questions. Military is an especially difficult area for me. Just to clarify, I didn't think that the two soldiers had to be related, but thought it possible since they had the same names. It seemed almost too much of a coincidence to not explore this possibility, but there are other leads I am pursuing as well. None may provide the answers I am looking for, but the challenge is fun. That's ok. Maybe something I discover will help another researcher! So, thanks again. I appreciate all the kind help I receive on this board! Vicki

Thank you so much for clarifying! I believe (for now anyway) that Kirstin Nilsdotter is the widow of the soldier Anders (no patronmic name so far). She is listed as the soldier Anders' wife on the tax records for Tommaryd from 1691 through 1715 when she is listed there by name as Ryttåre's wife Kirstin - which seems to imply that Anders was still living in 1715. The widow Kirstin died in 1737 and was born, according to her death record, in 1656. I have not been able to find a death record for Anders so far. I'm still researching him, hoping to find him in the military records, using the regiments suggested by Lennart. 1715 Mantal https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840174?image=1530&page=2043Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 50 (1715) Image 1530 / Page 2045 (AID: v840174.b1530.s2045, NAD: SE/RA/5520306) Kirstin Nilsdotter's 1737 death recordhttps://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30628?image=298&page=585®ister_collection=12®ister_post_aid=r12.p122623719Hinneryd (G) CI:1 (1712-1773) Image 298 / Page 585 (AID: v30628.b298.s585, NAD: SE/VALA/00133) I am quite sure that Kirstin is the mother of the Måns Andersson born in 1700, and also the mother of Nils Andersson and the soldier Pehr (Andersson) Tåman who are all listed on the 1717-1723 household record. But, I'm still trying to find my ancestor Corporal Måns Andersson's birthplace (Soldier #93 at Tommaryd in 1718). He was born ca 1688-1690. Maybe he was also from Tommaryd. Based on the age of Kirstin, it is possible that this Kirstin and this Anders could be the parents of Corp Måns Andersson Wåkman. It is puzzling that both of the Måns Anderssons appear on the same GMR record in 1718 at Tommaryd under the solider number #93. It's a mystery. Were they siblings with the same name? I have it seen in Norwegian research where one is referred to as the elder and one is the younger, but don't believe I've ever seen this in my Swedish research, where both were still alive. Little by little, I'm gathering the pieces to determine what is true. Thanks for all the help! Vicki

Attached is a copy of a 1717-1723 household record for Tommaryd, Hinneryd parish in Kronoberg. Can anyone help with the circled items? What is the status of Kiersin Nilsdotter - is she a lodger/widow or ? Is Måns Andersson a son?

A little more information - I think the circled item is the name of a person Johan Siöblad who I'm trying to learn more about. Most of the rotes indicate cavalry or infantry regiments but this one only says Joh Siöbladz. It that the commader? If anyone can tell me what this indicates, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks very much,

Thank you, Jörgen! So he ran away. This is very interesting. I wondered what happened to him. He is listed along with my ancestor Corporal Måns Andersson Wäkman (b. ca 1688) on the 1718 GMR as soldier #93. Also, there is a record for this Måns Andersson (b. 1700) on the Centrala Soldatregistret, but the only information on this record is his enlistment year, age, etc. I'm trying to determine whether or not there is family connection between these 2 men, both named Måns Andersson, and under the same soldier number. He doesn't appear with Corporal Måns Andersson after that one year. so now I know why. Attached is a copy of the 1718 GMR and there is a short note which I'm not sure about - does this help explain? https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v46669?image=206&page=196 Generalmönsterrullor - Kronobergs regemente (G) 331 (1718) Image 206 / Page 196 (AID: v46669.b206.s196, NAD: SE/KrA/0023) Does anyone have any idea why 2 men would be listed together under the same soldier number? It is especially interesting that they have the same name. Thanks again for the translation! Vicki

Attached is a 1691 tax record for Tommaryd, Hinneryd parish. Can anyone tell me what the circled word is? Is it a place?
Also, one of the people listed there is Rytt Anders which I understand to mean ryttåre. Can we know from this tax record, what regiment he was in? Is that related to my first question?
Thanks for your help!

Wow, thank you, Yvonne! I'm so glad you posted this!! Just finished looking at the information and it matches up with the information I have found through June 1702. A couple days ago I had added a follow up question to my original post at https://forum.rotter.se/index.php?topic=194966.0 wondering if there might be a link between Måns Gummesson #167 from Fallnakeva in Berga and Måns Gudmundsson from Vittaryd. I hadn't been able to find any connecting link Not sure why I didn't think of Rolf Carlsson's website!! GUDMUNDSSON Måns
Släktnamn: Gudmundsson
Född: -
Död: 1705
Antagen: 1686

Regemente: Kronobergs regemente
Rote: Ubbeboda
Kompani: LJUNGBY KOMPANI
Socken: VITTARYD
Torpnummer: KR-05-0688
The time frame works. When researching through the Rullor 1620-1723 records I couldn't find a record for him in 1686 December muster. I found him in 1688. But then couldn't find after that. I did find a Måns Gummesson in Vittaryd, Ubbeboda rote as soldier # 79 from 1699- June 1702 and then lost him.
Most recently I've been looking through the Berga parish military records, which is where I found him in 1686 and 1688.
I have no idea if these two different soldiers named Måns Gummesson are the same person or not. Could Måns have signed up in Berga, but been placed in Vittaryd to cover for the missing solldier, but then stayed there? Is this a possibility? I initially thought they were two different people, but have been rethinking this.
So you just answered my question! I have been going through everything again and thankfully there aren't a lot of Måns Gummessons. Wasn't sure where to go next with my search. Also interesting is the court case listed. I happened to find it this morning on sunnerbo.nu when doing a search for Måns Gummesson Fallnaveka. At least I think it is the same one - although I haven't translated it yet...it was the only one that I found. Thanks again SO MUCH for this and reminding of all the available sources we are fortunate to have, Vicki

Hi Yvonne!
I have been trying to track soldier Måns Gummesson’s military history, starting in 1686 when he was living in Fallnaveka, Berga. He was in the Kronobergs Infantry at that time. The records for 1686 and all 1688 are for the correct Måns Gummesson, but I think I have gone wrong in 1693.
1986
Måns Gummesson is soldier #167 in Fallnaveka, Berga. He replaced Bengt Nilsson who couldn’t be found.

1688
Måns Gummesson listed as soldier #167 – again listed as replacing Bengt Nilsson who couldn’t be found.

1688
Måns Gummesson is listed as soldier #167 in Fallnaveka.
Generalmönsterrullor - Kronobergs regemente (G) 325 (1688-1693) Image 57 / Page 46 (AID: v46662.b57.s46, NAD: SE/KrA/0023)
1693
Måns Gummesson is listed – the wrong Måns Gummesson? It says he’s at Flattinge.

I was hoping the notes indicated that he went to Flattinge! But it doesn't seem so.
The military research has been extremely difficult, but I'll keep trying because I enjoy the challenge.
Thanks so much for your help! It's always nice to hear from you!

Attached is a copy of a 1697 muster roll for Måns Gummesson. Can anyone help with translation of the note. It looks like it contains his birth place, but I cannot tell what it says. Also, I am confused as to whether he is becoming soldier #29 or leaving it.

Thanks so much, Kalle. I am trying to find a link between Berga and Vittaryd. I know that my ancestor was lliving in Fallnaveka in Berga parish. The only soldier record I have been able to find so far is:

I'm going to go through all of these records again take another look in case I missed anything as I've learned a bit about the military structure in the process. By the way, is Bergia same as Berga?
If you have any suggestions or comments, I'd really like the input.

My ancestor Nils Svensson Hultman was an infantryman in a femmänning regiment started in 1703 when there was an additional need for soldiers. He was dismissed in March 1707 and is listed in the tax records for 1703 – 1707 as a soldier from Wånneböke, Hinneryd, Kronoberg. Using the “card” I found on Rullor 1620-1723 for his femmänning regiment I was able to find more muster rolls for this soldier. https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v793074?image=303 Rullor 1620-1723 RegementsReg:2 (1620-1723) Image 303 (AID: v793074.b303, NAD: SE/KrA/0022) It lists: Smäland.

In 1707 the muster rolls for this regiment appear to have been done monthly (vs. annually as done in 1705 and 1706). Has anyone come across the before? Were they often moving?

Thank you, Yvonne!
I've really struggled with how to document this because I am sure that there will be some information later that will either prove or disprove my theory. Just not sure how to accomplish that. It may be someone else down the road who may want to further the research once more information is available.
Thanks so much! I really do appreciate this and all the helpful information you've provided!

Thanks, Yvonne, You are correct about the birth years for the two people. I have already done extensive research on this Erik Persson. The 1757-04-22 death record for his wife lists her as "Erik Persson's wife Karin Månsdotter." The date of her death coincides with what the Kånna Arvidsgården tax records show. Erik's wife was old and sick in the 2 years prior to her death and then in 1758 Erik Persson is listed there as a widower. 1757 death record for Karen Månsdotter, Kånna Arvidsgårdenhttps://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30538?image=85Kånna (G) C:1 (1743-1815) Image 85 / Page 161 (AID: v30538.b85.s161, NAD: SE/VALA/00202) 1756 tax record for Erik Persson - wife not taxed she is old and sickhttps://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840187?image=3510&page=687Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 63 (1756) Image 3510 / Page 689 (AID: v840187.b3510.s689, NAD: SE/RA/5520306) 1757 tax record for Erik Persson - wife not taxed, she is sick https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840188?image=3480&page=673Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 64 (1757) Image 3480 / Page 675 (AID: v840188.b3480.s675, NAD: SE/RA/5520306) 1758 tax record for Widower Erik Prsson, Kånna Arvidsgårdenhttps://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840189a?image=3600&page=705Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 65 (1758) Image 3600 / Page 705 (AID: v840189a.b3600.s705, NAD: SE/RA/5520306) Wife, Karin Månsdotter, Arvidsgården, is listed a baptismal witness for a Kirstin in 1743-08-05https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30538?image=6Kånna (G) C:1 (1743-1815) Image 6 / Page 3 (AID: v30538.b6.s3, NAD: SE/VALA/00202) All of these things seem to indicate that Erik Persson and Erik Törnqvist are the same person; the tax records/birth records for both 1750 and 1755, show Erik with different last names for same years and living in the same place. This seems to be the most conclusive evidence (yet circumstantial, I realize) that I've found so far - mainly because these records relate specifically to Erik himself. I am very interested whether you concur and also am curious how you document ancestors for which you never can find "absolute" proof but for which there is so much circumstantial evidence. I would like to preserve this information in order to help a future researcher go further as more information become available through court records or other documents that are beyond my skill level. Thanks for your help, Vicki

Hi again Yvonne! Thank you! I'm again looking into Erik Persson to see if I can find a connection to the solider Erik Törnqvist (no patronymic name is given on the Central Soldatregistrat or the GMR records). So far, no record showing the name Erik Persson Törnqvist. However, I have found the following records: 1750 tax record lists my ancestor Erik Persson and wife with daughter Ingebor at Kånna Arvidsgarden in Kånna parish:https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840181c?image=2460&page=477Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 57 (1750) Image 2460 / Page 479 (AID: v840181c.b2460.s479, NAD: SE/RA/5520306) 1750-04-29 birth record for Margareta Jönsdotter lists Erik Törnqvist from Kånna Arvidsgarden as a baptismal witness:https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30538?image=10&page=11®ister_collection=11®ister_post_aid=r11.p122176712Kånna (G) C:1 (1743-1815) Image 10 / Page 11 (AID: v30538.b10.s11, NAD: SE/VALA/00202) 1755 tax record lists my ancestor Erik Persson and wife with daughter Ingebor and son Jöran at Kånna Arvidsgården:https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840186?image=3400&page=667Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 62 (1755) Image 3400 / Page 669 (AID: v840186.b3400.s669, NAD: SE/RA/5520306) 1755-11-11 birth record for Anders (son of a soldier) lists Erik Törnqvist as a baptismal witness:https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30538?image=16&page=23®ister_collection=11®ister_post_aid=r11.p122176791Kånna (G) C:1 (1743-1815) Image 16 / Page 23 (AID: v30538.b16.s23, NAD: SE/VALA/00202) The Eriks listed on the 1750 tax/1750 birth record and the Eriks listed on the 1755 tax/1755 birth record (all who are living at Kånna Arvidsgården) would indicate that they are the same person. Would you agree that, barring the absolute proof of the full name, this is enough to make that assumption? I have other findings earlier that help support this, but this specifically ties both Eriks to the same place in the same years. I'd appreciate any comments on this. Thanks very much, Vicki

In revisiting an individual that I began researching some time ago, I am having trouble finding his name in the tax records prior to his marriage ca. 1721/1722. My question: If he was single when he enlisted (1716). is it possible that he doens't appear on the tax records at all until he is marriage when the wife is taxed? I thought I saw that somewhere but can't remember where....

Thank you very uch! This is interesting. Tor Forsberg died at Stralsund in 1760 - not sure if he died of illness of battle. Based on previous GMRs his horse was lost the previous January (1759) and he himself died 14 January 1760. I'm still trying to find a death record, but I guess it is not to be found. His death is not mentioned in his home parish at Norrtorpa Mellang., Torpa, Kronoberg.

Ok, that gives me a guideline to work with.
Does anyone know which online sites have them? I use ancestry, family search and (some) riksarkivet. You all have taught me alot and I've spent much time looking at the witnesses on birth records and have found some new records I've not found previously. It is slow going but very rewarding when I find something new.
Ulf, I remember you mentioning that your father-in-law found a "retirement" agreement (I'm sorry I don't remember what they are called) for one of their ancestors which spelled out what was required for support in order to "retire" and let the next tenant take over. That is another thing I'd like to be able to look for. I am able to tell by tax records when the "ownership" changes - is that when I should start looking for such an agreement? Just looking for some guidelines on where to begin my search.
Thanks very much!

Yvonne and all,
I agree that Jöns is the child of Karin Jönsdotter and Per Erlandsson, but I still don't find anything for marriage or a death record for him. I checked the tax records and soldier register but have found nothing to fit.
I really would like to see if I can find a guardianship record for the two children, Sten age 10 and Karin age 6, and am happy to try my luck at searching through the court records, but can anyone help me out with what book(s) in would start my search in?
The parents of the children are:
* Jöns Jönsson died 13 Mar 1762 Kånna Knutsgård, Kånna, Kronoberg
* Brithe Stensdotter died 12 Dec 1761 Kånna Knutsgård, Kånna, Kronoberg
I would like to start my search right after the death of Jöns Jönsson in March 1762. Any suggestions/pointers would be very helpful.
Thanks very much,
Vicki

I think maybe the guardianship case (if there is one) will tell me if there were any children born between 1745-1750 in Ljungby. The oldest child would have been only 17 years old. If the last parent died in 1762 would a case have been drawn up right away? Would I start looking there? I'm not at all what books I should be looking in, etc.

That's true, I thought it was strange that Jöns Jönsson from Lunarp was a baptismal witness and that he also appears to be connected to Sten Jönsson. I have not found a death record for Per Erlandsson that fits the timeframe or that place. The soldier name is very possible, but don't see anything obvious for that, yet anyway. Do you think the Jöns Jönsson b. ca 1746 (who died in Lunarp) is likely a brother of Stens Jönsson and Karin Jönsdotter? Hopefully I got some of it right... Thanks! Vicki

Thank you so much, Yvonne. i am sitting here trying to explain everything coherently! so now, let's start from there.... No, I have found no (credible) record of a marriage for her. I will follow up on your note. I wondered about the birth of a child called Stina Karinsdotter born 1787-06-28 in Kånna Sockenstuga to a mother named Karin Andersdotter. Was this the correct surname? The first baptismal witness is Jöns Jönsson from Kånna Lunnarp. Was he Karin's brother? Jöns Jönsson who died 1830-06-06 at Kånna Lunnarp at age 57 - who would have been born in Ljungby before the family moved to Kånna? Naming pattern makes sense. Looking at this Jöns Jönsson's children, I notice that Karin Jonasdotter in Kånna is a witness for the birth of his daughter Sara in 1788 (the wife of his brother Sten Jönsson who married Karin Jonasdotter in 1787). I also noticed that Jöns Jönsson in Kånna was a witness at the baptism of Sten Jönsson's daughter Brita b. 13 Oct 1792 at Arfvidsgård, Kånna. There is also a pigan Karin listed among the witnesses also - I can't read where she is from so it may not be the Karin we are discussing - can you read it?

One of my ancestors was orphaned (along with a sister) in 1762 in Kånna parish in Kronoberg. He was age 10 and she was 6. There was no estate inventory and household records are not available until 1794 in Kånna - I don't know where they went. Would I start looking immediately after the death of the 2nd parent to search for a guardianship court case? Or where would I look for that? Does it normally take some time before the case is heard? Any direction would be appreciated.
thanks much!
Vicki

Hi Yvonne, How nice to hear from you again! I got an email from DigitalArchive saying the 1825 land registers are now available so thought I'd give it a try! Not exactly sure what it will tell me, but what you sent is very interesting. Not sure how to understand it though - was payment made with oak tree wood, with trees planted or ? The reason I ask is that I have a Norwegian g grandfather who was a pioneer in Dakota Territory and one of the ways he gained property was to plant x number of trees and keep the land for a specified length of time (it was called a Timber Culture). The government wanted settlers to plant trees on the prairie. Now, I'm curious to check on the other properties my ancestors were living on around 1825 and after. Thanks, as always, for your help. It's much appreciated! Vicki

Attached is a copy of the 1825 land record for Torpa, Torpa, Kronoberg. Can anyone help with the two righthand columns for Torpa? It looks the first of the two if related to the military and the last column contains updated notes for this property.

Thank you so much, Lars-Ola.
I had more difficulty than usual trying to read the estate inventory for Anders Nilsson, mainly due to the handwriting itself.
Since I couldn't find Anders and wife anywhere else, the next most logical place to search for them was with daughter Elin and her husband in Torpa. But, I didn't find her name mentioned in the estate inventory. I felt sure about everything else except his death date since I was not able to read the record.
It occurred to me that maybe there had been an earlier connection in the family to Torpa as I'm not sure why/how Lars Persson and Elin Andersdotter ended up there. Then I noticed I already had an Anders Nilsson in Gashult, Torpa in my database with a birth date of 1711-10-11 which fits the estimated birth year for him - his father's name is Nils Larsson with wife Ingeborg. Nils Larsson also had a son Lars Nilsson but he was born in 1720 so doesn't quite match your Lars Nilsson. Nils Larsson and Ingeborg have 7 children: Jöns b. 1701, Sissla b. 1703, Jöns b. 1708, Anders b. 1711, Kirstin b. 1715, Lars b. 1720 and Karin b. 1725.
Nils Larsson's parents are Lars Jönsson and Karin. His sister is Susanna Larsdotter, married to the soldier Per Simonsson Groberg in Groeryd, Torpa parish. I may look into this a little more - probably nothing, but the names are very familiar.
Thanks again for confirming that I had the correct death record and estate inventory for Anders Nilsson - that was very good news and made my day!!
Your help is always appreciated,
Vicki

Thanks very much, Klas. This all started with the names of the parents of my ancestor Kierstin Larsdotter b. 1771 who were listed on her birth record: Lars Persson and Elin Andersdotter. The marriage record in 1763 states their names as Lars Persson (klöckare) from Slättevrå and Elin Andersdotter from Stråhult. The tax records for Stråhult show that her parents, Anders Nilsson and wife, are living there from before Elin's birth through the mid-1760's. in 1762 Elin appears in the tax records and she is married the following year to Lars Persson (klöckare). Anders and Karin and Elin and Lars are all living at Stråhult for the following year or 2 and then they all disappear from Stråhult. Elin's husband, Lars Persson, died young (age 35) in 1772. His death record shows that they were living in Torpa, Torpa parish when he died. The estate inventory in Torpa lists a widow Elin Andersdotter with two young children: Bengta age 3 1/2 years and Kierstin age 1 year. The 1 year old is my ancestor. The thing I'm unsure of is where Anders Nilsson and his wife went when they no longer were living in Stråhult. By 1763 Anders was old and sickly. So did Anders and wife go to Torpa with the daughter Elin's family? I found a couple death records that might indicate they had also moved to Torpa. There is a 1771 death record at Torpa, Torpa for Anders Nilsson and a 1783 death record for a widow Karin (no surname). Maybe it is just a coincidence that Anders Nilsson died in Torpa, Torpa parish one year before his son-in-law died in the same place. From there I found an estate inventory for Anders Nilsson in Torpa parish, which lists a widow Karin Nilsdotter. No previous records had her surname - her daughters birth records only named her parents as Anders and Karin. The widow's death record in 1783 only listed her as the widow Karin. I may never know. Thanks again for your help and interest! I enjoy this research very much. Vicki

Thank you, Klas!
Yes, this has been a very confusing family to trace and I continue to re-examine all of my research. I will also look into it again today to see if I find anything has been misunderstood or is incorrect. I will be curious to see what you find also.
Thanks again for your ongoing interest!

Hi again, Klas! Yes, this is a different Anders Nilsson (he was b in Mäste, Vrå in 1720 and died in Singsiö, Vrå in 1791 - I also have his information. His daughter Elin was born in 1762-10-01 in Singsiö. There is an Anders Nilsson in Singsiö and another Anders Nilsson in Stråhult. Both have daughters named Elin. You can see his family information on the 1788-1792 in Singsiö - this household record shows that he died and has a widow Kirstin. Vrå (G) AI:1 (1788-1817) Image 28 / Page 41 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v21208?image=28I've reviewed these records many times. The Elin Andersdotter born in Stråhult, Vrå on 1745-12-30. Her father, Anders Nilsson, was born circa 1711, and lived in Stråhult from 1744 until about 1768 when I believe he moved to Torpa in Torpa parish and subsequently died there in 1771. That was where his daughter and her husband were living. This has created some confusion as the 1771 inventory after his death, mentions a brother Lars Nilsson in Singsiö, Vrå at the estate inventory at Torpa parish. The first and last pages of the inventory are found: Sunnerbo häradsrätt (G) FII:4 (1767-1771) Image 745 / Page 1171 (AID: v76209.b745.s1171, NAD: SE/VALA/01582) - shows Anders Nilsson died 1771 in Torpa parish. Sunnerbo häradsrätt (G) FII:4 (1767-1771) Image 747 / Page 1175 (AID: v76209.b747.s1175, NAD: SE/VALA/01582) - mentions brother Lars Nilsson. So, I believe they are 2 different Anders Nilssons, living in different places in Vrå around the same time, both having a daughter Elin. I very much appreciate your help - I'll take your advice and review each parish surrounding Stråhult, beginning with the closest ones in case I missed anything. I appreciate your help and the direction you've offered! Thanks again, Vicki

Hi Klas! Thanks for your response, This is very helpful. I actually know quite a lot about him: Anders Nilsson b. ca 1711 (age based on age at time of death record) d. 1771-03-17 Torpa, Torpa, Kronoberg He was married to a woman named Karin b. ca 1715 (based on age at time of death) d. 1783-04-24 Torpa, Torpa, Kronoberg They had one daughter, Elin Andersdotter, b. 1745 in Stråhult, Vrå, d. 1772-06-05 Torpa, Torpa, Kronoberg Anders Nilsson first appeared in Stråhult, Vrå about 1744 according to the tax records but had disappeared by 1768. His daughter Elin appears in the tax records there in the years 1762 and 1763. She married Lars Persson (klöckare) in 1764 Lars Persson was farming with his mother-in-law as Elin's father was sickly. By 1768, all of them had left Stråhult. Elin and Lars moved to Torpa in Torpa parish, in Kronoberg and that is where I subsequently found the death records for her parents. I believe the parents were being cared for by daughter Elin and husband Lars, although the Torpa household records aren't available until 1784 - 1 year after Elin's mother Karin died. The estate inventory after the death of Anders Nilsson indicated his wife's name is Karin Nilsdotter and it also indicated that he had a brother Lars Nilsson who was living in Singsiö, Vrå (in 1771). The daughter Elin's husband, Lars Persson, died a year after her father died in Torpa, Torpa and was buried there 1772-06-05. There is also an estate inventory for Lars Persson taken in 1772 following his death in Torpa. The widow Elin Andersdotter remarried in 1775 and continued to live in Torpa until her death in Rya,Torpa 1829-01-01. I can only find 1 child for them which appears to either be the only child or the last child. Since I can't find a marriage record in any of the Kronoberg parishes (but I haven't tried all of the alternate spellings of Karin's name as I didn't know all of them!) I wondered if they were from somewhere other than Kronoberg. Maybe they were married somewhere else and/or had more children. Based on the ages of the parents at the time of Elin's birth in 1745 would have been ages 34 and 30 so that is entirely possible. My knowledge is limited to Kronoberg. It is a bit difficult when you don't understand the distances and travel of the time, so I'm probably in over my head with this one, but that's ok. I enjoy the search. I'd double back through what I've done so far and then move on. Thanks so much for your insight and help! Vicki

Hi Marianne, I appreciate your input - actually I was thinking of the other way around. But, that would be the same I suppose. (from Bollerup to Vrå to Torpa). My research has been confined mainly to various parishes in Kronoberg, so I'm very unfamiliar with parishes and counties outside of there. I certainly would welcome your thoughts on where, outside of Kronoberg, I might look! Thanks so much, Vicki

Hi Marianne,
Thank you so much for this information. It's very interesting! I am unfamiliar with this area, so I may be way off in my search. I have been trying to locate where my ancestors Anders Nilsson and his wife Karin Nilsdotter were from.
So far I have only one child for them, named Elin Andersdotter and she was born in Stråhult, Vrå in 1745. This Anders Nilsson and his wife were living in Stråhult, Vrå until the mid 1760's when I believe he and his wife Karin moved, along with their daughter and her husband, to Torpa parish where Anders and Karin later died. I have found his estate inventory, which also shows a brother name Lars Nilsson who was living in Singsjö, Vrå in 1771.
So, I've trying to figure out where Anders Nilsson and wife Karin came originally as I haven't been able to find other children or a marriage record for them anywhere in Kronoberg county.
This is what led me to try the surrounding areas - this particular marriage, for Anders Nilsson and a Karna Nilsdotter is the only thing that seems to fit (at least that I've found).
Your information would make sense because I figured that if they married in 1735 there would be earlier children who I couldn't previously find. So those 2 children I will try to learn more about!
There are so many Anders Nilssons!! but not so many that are married to a Karin or Karna Nilsdotter in that time frame, so it is possible.
Again, I thank you very much for this!! I really appreciate it!
Vicki

Can anyone help with the attached 1735 marriage record? There are several words, which I've circled. Bollerup (L) CI:1 (1700-1751) Image 1030 / Page 97 (AID: v97937a.b1030.s97, NAD: SE/LLA/13033) https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v97937a?image=1030&page=97I think it says: 23 March 1735 marriage between dr, Anders Nilsson and pig. Karna Nilsdotter from Bollerup ?, and ? ? ? from Bollerup. Karna, I understand, was used in Skåne as a variation of the name Karin. Is that correct? Thanks for your help, Vicki

Hi Lars-Ola,
I have been spending a lot of time trying to find out more about the parents of Elin Andersdotter b. 30 Dec 1745 in Stråhult, Vrå.
I had a birth record for her naming her parents only as Anders and Karin.
Anders Nilsson was listed as a taxpayer in 1745 at Stråhult, Vrå parish. He is listed there with wife from 1744-1765. Dotter Elin appears on 1762 tax record, also in 1763; she married Lars Persson Sundberg (klockare) 29 May 1763.
in 1764 Anders is listed as old and sick but wife still paying tax. Lars Persson (klåckare) is listed as farming with his mother-in-law - so this would be Elin's husband)
In 1765 Anders and wife are farming with others there, but by 1768 Anders and wife are no longer listed in the tax records for Stråhult, Vrå. Lars Persson and Elin Andersdotter are gone also.
Elin's husband Lars Persson died in 1772 in Torpa, Torpa, Kronoberg per the estate inventory taken after his death. His estate inventory establishes that he has a widow Elin Andersdotter and 2 daughters: Bengta 3 1/2 years and Kierstin 1 year, 3 months so I knew I had the correct family as Kierstin is my ancestor.
I started looking for a death record for Anders Nilsson in Torpa, Torpa and found one dated 17 March 1771 in Torpa, Torpa. Subsequently, I found a death record for a widow Karin 24 April 1783 in Torpa, Torpa. The widow Elin was still living in Torpa when she remarried 12 Feb 1775. So, I believe that Elin Andersdotter's parents were living there with daughter Elin and her family.
I still didn't know Karin's surname for certain. So looked for an estate inventory for Anders Nilsson after his death at Torpa, Torpa in 1771. It lists the widow as Karing Nilsdotter (if I am correct) so think it's very possible these are her parents. However, if so, I still don't know where they were originally from. So far, I have not found a marriage record for Anders Nilsson and Karin Nilsdotter.
The estimated birth years for Anders and Karin are 1711 and 1715 (based on their death records), maybe I can find more there. Also, knowing that Anders has a brother Lars may be helpful.
Would like the hear your thoughts on my findings so far!
Thanks for your help,
Vicki

Attached are copies from the first page and the last page of an estate inventory from 1771 for Anders Nilsson. I'm trying to determine whether or not this is the father of one of my ancestors, but I cannot read much of at all except that his widow's name was Karing with surname Nilsdotter?? If that is correct, it appears that both husband and wife have same patronymic surname (Nilsson/Nilsdotter). Also, there is a brother Lars Nilsson listed at the bottom of the last page - can you tell if this would be his (Ander's) brother or her (Karing's) brother? https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v76209?image=745&page=1171 Sunnerbo häradsrätt (G) FII:4 (1767-1771) Image 745 / Page 1171 (AID: v76209.b745.s1171, NAD: SE/VALA/01582) https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v76209?image=747&page=1171Sunnerbo häradsrätt (G) FII:4 (1767-1771) Image 747 / Page 1175 (AID: v76209.b747.s1175, NAD: SE/VALA/01582) Thanks so much for any help with this!

Hi Leif, Thank you very much for doing all of this! How did you ever find him there? I had been taking a look at some of my early research, checking records that I didn't know existed at that time. Moving in/out records have been very elusive for me, so I'm never sure if I'm even looking in the right place.

It would seem to be Jöns, but I don't think that is what the 1687 record is saying, although I'm not really sure. And, there is also another short case from Sunnerbo Dombok 1678 that I don't understand at all - is Johanna standing in for someone? " Stämbningz försittiande

My translation leaves me wondering how these people are related and who is the defendant. drängen Niels Persson i Gashult, enkian Swenborg Swensdotter i Fathult och soldaten Per Kiellberg, sampt Niels Larson i Gashult med påstående at få sin andehl af kiöpeskillingen uti bemte skattejord, swaranden påvysar sin faderbroder visiteuren i Ystad Niels Jönssons kiöpebref på hehla fierdingen dat Ystad Michaelis dag 1698. My translation: The farmhand Niels Persson in Gashult, widow Swenborg Swensdotter in Fathult and soldier Per Kiellberg, and Niels Larsson make a claim to get their share from a sale of property. Their father's brother has a letter about the sale from 1698.... I already know that Niels Larsson's father is Lars Jönsson, so it would make sense that Niels Jönsson is his father's brother. 1) Who is the defendant in this case? Is it Niels Jönsson, the uncle? 2) Are the widow Swenborg and soldier Per Kiellberg being grouped together, possibly a widow and her son where Swenborg was married to another (yet unnamed) brother and Per is their son? 3) Are Niels Persson, Niels Larsson and the soldier cousins?

Hi Klas, Thank you for the further information!

So I guess the soldier Lennart found for you in the other topic might be right anyway." So, my translation of ryttare was incorrect!

While researching my ancestor, Per Simonsson Groberg, I found a reference to his brother-in-law, Nils Larsson, on a page from Rolf Carlsson's website found at: http://www.ljungbykompani.se/000/023/456.htmThe reference I am referring to is found in this section: Levnadsbeskrivning
Soldaten
Född 1686 i Småland.
Antagen som soldat nr 40 1710 i Groaryd, Torpa (G).
Med vid mönstring 1711-10-30 i Karlskrona (K).

Avsked som soldat nr 40 1728-09-17 i Groaryd, Torpa (G).
Död 1758-10-16 i Groeryd, Torpa (G).
Vid mönstring 1719 "sjuk i kvarteret" (gmr 1719).
Vid avsked "åldrig och sjuklig får avsked" (gmr 1728). I cannot find the Sunnerbo court record book for 1722 on AD. Can anyone tell me where I can access it? I would like to understand what "Förenades med sin svåger Nils Larsson" is telling me. I think it is saying that Per Simonsson Groberg joined with his brother-in-law at the summer court session in 1722, but I'm trying to figure what he joined him with. Initially I thought it was military service, but Per Simonsson Groberg was already a soldier at that time. I am also hoping that there is more information about where Nils Larsson was from as I'm trying to learn where Per Simonsson Groberg's wife Susanna Larsdotter was from. Any help would be greatly apprciated, Thanks a lot, Vicki

I have looked at the information recommended in the previous response, but I cannot determine exactly where I should be looking for him. I wondered if anyone else has run into this in their research. 1705 tax record - Vänneböke Södergård, Hinneryd parish - I think it says 5ling, rytt Nils' wife - please correct me if this is not what is indicated....

Thank you so much for responding, Klas! First, I think I had the wrong place name for the 1702 record I referenced in my first post - please see attached - I had difficulty with the handwriting but now believe I have the correct 1702 tax record. However, it is a very confusing record as I'm not sure what all relates to Nils. Will you take a look? In the 1704 tax record I thought the word rytt appeared before Nils on the tax record. Please see attached. Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 46 (1704) Image 880 / Page 2133 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840170?image=880&page=2133v840170.b880.s2133 Same for 1705 tax record ... please see attached. Maybe I am misunderstanding that word on those tax records? It does not have that word on the 1707 tax record. I also made the assumption that the Småland regiment was cavalry only because it was under the main heading of 9. Temporary Units - Cavalry. So, I may easily be wrong in my assumptions! I have very limited military knowledge, so don't worry whether you are telling me something I already know! Most likely I don't know. Thanks again for your continued help with this, I look forward to your response! Vicki

After looking at the information, I have a few more questions: Nils Svensson had a son name Nils Nilsson (1694-1755) who was also lived at Vänneböke Sodergård in Hinneryd. He was a soldier from 1718 - 1728. His name was Nils Nilsson Wennerberg, Kronobergs regemente, rote: Vänneböke, Södra Sunnerbo Kompani, Hinneryd Parish. Both Nils Nilsson and his father (Nils Svensson) are listed in the 1717-1723 household records at Vänneböke Sodergård in Hinneryd. Nils Svensson is not listed as a soldier at that time, so that fits with his leaving the military in 1707. The son Nils Nilsson is listed with his soldier name of Wennerberg. This explains why there was still a soldier Nils/wife listed in the Vänneböke Södergård tax records after 1707, they are two different men. Hinneryd (G) AI:1 (1717-1723) Image 95 / Page 89 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18565?image=95v18565.b95.s89 I have another question about the 1715 tax record. What is the circled word? If Nils Svensson left in 1707 and his son didn't begin his service until 1718 - I'm not sure how this tax record fits in, unless this refers to a Nils that is no longer in the military. (Hope my question is clear). Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 50 (1715) Image 1530 / Page 2045 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840174?image=1530&page=2043v840174.b1530.s2045 The document that Klas sent was very interesting in explaining why these were created and the roles they played: Both four- and five-männing regiments were established in 1702. In four-männing regiments 4 "rotar" togeter provided an extra soldier and in five-männing regiments 5 "rotar" together provided an extra soldier. This was of course beside their duty to provide the ordinary soldier of the "rote".The five-männing regiments were established in the provinces where the ordinary provincial regiment was serving in war zones. The four-männing regiments were established in the few provinces where the ordinary provincial regiment still was quartered at home. And the information in particular regarding Småland: Småland Three and Five "Männing" Regiments (Smålands tre- och femmännings-regementen) became the base for His Majesty's Enlisted Regiment (Konungens eget värvade regemente). I would like to learn more about that also. With that in mind, it seems likely to me that the Nils Svensson that Lennart found could well be the Nils Svensson I'm looking for. To make sure I'm understanding the information correctly, I have a couple additional questions about those military records: 1706: His soldier name appears to be Hultman - is this correct? Also there is a note which I think says that he is sick - is that correct?

Thank you Klas and Lennart! You have both been very helpful! You've given me a lot to look into and I really appreciate it.
Nils Svensson was a soldier in 1706, as he is named in a court case that year. His wife is listed as "the soldier's wife" in that court case - she was representing him - but I have no idea how long he was in military service. He was born circa 1666, so if he left in 1707, it makes more sense than if he was still in service in 1723 when he was 57 years old.
I'll take a look at everything you've sent and see if I can find any more clues.

Attached are four tax records (1704, 1705, 1707, 1715) showing the soldier Nils' wife. I'm trying to find out more about the soldier Nils Svensson but I don't find him listed in Centrala Soldatregistret under his patronymic name. It looks like he was a soldier on horseback but I am not sure what the first part of these listings say or where I could begin looking for him. The 1715 tax record looks a little different from the 1705 and 1707 records. What is the difference between these records? There is an unmarried Rytt Nils there in 1702. Nils Svensson died there in 1723 but was listed in the tax records through that time, so it appears he was a soldier at the time of his death, although his death appears unrelated to him military service. Since there are no patronymic names listed I am not sure if every Nils is the same man.

Attached is a 1728 birth record. It is for the child of Måns Jönsson in Warmsjö, Berga parish but the child is not named. In comparing it with the surrounding birth records, it appears the wife's name is also listed. However, I cannot tell what it is saying something about Jöns Persson's wife??? of same place (Wårmsjö). Was she a witness or who was she?

That is a very interesting note. Makes me wonder what the "horrible disease" was. I thought they probably were different people (and likely related) because the names run in the family as you say. In the second and third listings, are they referring to the wife of Måns and the wife of Jöns? Or, are they referring (in each case) another husband and wife, each being taxed for only one person?

Thank you Lennart and Kalle! There are a lot of Pärs, so I can understand why they might want to differentiate it from others. I was particularly interested in this one because I am trying to determine which Pår my ancestor Erik Pårsson's father might be. Erik farmed on K&nna Arvidsgård from 1734 until 1764/5 when his son-in-law Jonas Arvidsson took over. There is a Pår (no last name) listed at Kånna Arvidsgård from at least 1694-1723 (maybe even earlier) but there is a break in-between where someone name Simon Swensson ran it between 1724-1733. I realize that his father could be any of the Pårs or none of them. It's impossible to say, but I keep hoping to find some solid connection. Thanks so much, Vicki

Thank you for your help again, Yvonne! I was confused about the first part of my translation wondering why a child from his second marriage was mentioned first (without a name) followed by the two daughters from his first marriage and then (after that) mentioning his widow and their son! I did realize that the daughters were from his first marriage - my sentence was very clumsy because I misunderstood the first part! Sunnerbo häradsrätts arkiv, Bouppteckningar och arvskiften, SE/VALA/01582/F II/8 (1785-1787) On the last page (attached) the representatives of the children are mentioned: Joran Eriksson in Kånna is representing the daughter Karin (I think this may be the first wife's brother possibly) Jacob S? from Ljungen is representing the daughter Maria (not sure who he might be yet) Nils Arvidsson?? from Kånna is representing the son Pär? (if I have the name right - maybe a brother of the boy's father?) I just learned of this second marriage and am trying to see I can go back further on Jonas Arvidsson's line using this information.

Sunnerbo häradsrätts arkiv, Bouppteckningar och arvskiften, SE/VALA/01582/F II/8 (1785-1787)
I think the first part is saying something like this (but I'm hoping someone can confirm or correct my understanding as needed):
28 December 1784 an estat3e inventory was taken following the death of “dannemann” Jonas Arvidsson in Kånna Arvidsgård (Kånna) on behalf of the child of his second marriage, daughter Karin, age 18 and daughter Maria, age 12 from his first marriage and his widow Märta Simonsdotter and son Pär age 4.

The funny thing is that Per's is the only name of the four children born to them (that I know of) where it is listed as just plain Tannäker! it is the family from Stora Tannäker that I'm trying to trace back further. It may be unlikely I can go further on that likely but I love trying!!

It looks like it mentions the beginning and ending dates of Tor Forsberg's military service and names the person taking his place when he leaves? Is it Jöns Beckman or Anders Cromvall?

« skrivet: 2021-05-07, 22:44 »
I see that this regiment was in Kristianstad county in Skåne province and I found the exact same information, on AD, as Sune did. So does this mean there were no gmr records made during 1747-1753 or that none of them have been digitized yet? Obviously, there is a record of him somewhere in order to have listed him on the Centrala Soldatregistret. It looks like it is possible to contact the person listed on that website to inquire about getting more information. Has anyone ever tried that? If so, were you able to get any more information? Neither of these two records for Tor Forsberg on Centrala Soldatregistret have a patronymic name so maybe it just isn't listed anywhere on the military records. Based on the specific dates of service as a ryttare on the tax records, it seems like the two Tor Forsbergs could be the same person as they exactly match the dates of service on the two Centrala Soldatregistret records. Even though I still have not been able to prove that Tor Nilsson is Tor Forsberg - I do have more information that supports it: after 1760 when there is no longer a Tor Forsberg listed in the Torpa tax records (he died in 1760) a widow Pernilla appears there in 1762, 1764, 1765, 1766 and 1767 and she is living with Olof Torsson in 1766). Tor Nilsson's wife's name is Pernilla and they had a son Olof who is presumably who she is living with. But, I would be very interested to hear your opinion on this - are the 2 Tor Forsbergs likely the same person? - are Tor Forsberg and Tor Nilsson likely the same person? I realize that it would just be an opinion, but I would be interested to hear what you say. Then, I should probably just put it to rest! Thanks for your help, Vicki

Hi again,
That is what I hoped you might be doing by pointing out his signature! I had thought Thor might be a nickname for Theodor but could find nothing to support that.

Hi Yvonne! Thank you ever so much for this! It's nice to hear from you! I was able to match up the children but I'm puzzle about a couple things: 1) What is the significance of the way the his older son signs himself as Thor T: Jönsson? His birth record shows his name as Tor Jönsson (son of Jöns Torsson and Maria) born 30 Apr 1779. (his name is not Theodor) Torpa (G) C:3 (1773-1860) Image 18 / Page 27 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30194?image=182) This probably relates to the answer to my first question - Could all the references to Theodor and Theodorssöner actually mean Thoresson, which is their patronymic name? It clearly says Theodor.... so not sure what to make of this. For example, these are the birth records for father's brothers Olof and Per: Olaf Torpa (G) C:2 (1748-1772) Image 3 / Page 1 (born 21 Mar 1748 in Forssa, Torpa) https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30193?image=3 born 21 Mar 1748 in Forssa, Torpa.

Throughout his life, Jöns has used both the names Jöns Thorsson and Jöns Forsberg but I believe they are the people! Any thoughts? I can send more examples!

I am continuing my search for military information on Thore Forsberg and am now adding my latest question to the original thread in case it is helpful in providing background information for anyone with the patience to read through it all! What I'm still trying to learn is whether my ancestor Thore Nilsson is the same man as Thore Forsberg. There are many things that indicate it is likely, however, the definitive proof is still lacking: a record showing his name as Thore Nilsson Forsberg. The soldier record from Centrala Soldatregistret for Forsberg, Tore for 1755-1760 is as follows: FORSBERG Tore Släktnamn: - Född: 1725 Död: 1760 Antagen: 1755 Avsked: 1760 Aktnummer: SU-K5-0043-1755 Regemente: Smålands kavalleriregemente Rote: Västra Tansjö Kompani: SUNNERBO KOMPANI Socken: HINNERYD Torpnummer: SU-K5-0043 The 1748-1752 tax records show Tore Nilsson was also a ryttare before 1755 and with a couple years break in his service. Today I found the following soldier record on Centrala Soldatregistret for 1747-1753 which appears to exactly match the timeframe I'm looking for and I believe is the same person as the one above: FORSBERG Tor Släktnamn: - Född: - Död: - Antagen: 1747 Avsked: 1753 Aktnummer: SH-07-0021-1747 Regemente: - Rote: Karup 7 Kompani: - Socken: Västra Karup Torpnummer: SH-07-0021 Can anyone help me find this person in the gmr?

Thank you for your help with this. This is very interesting information. I suspected that he was not a soldier but have no idea why he would have been in Stockholm at all. My ancestor is one of the sisters (and their husbands) mentioned in his estate inventory. He is the only one with that the Lillman surname. My ancestor is Kierstin Johansdotter, married to Nils Jönsson. On the last page of the inventory, are the marks there actually their signatures?
I realize you can't answer this question for certain, but I'm wondering, since I don't know where the family came from further back, is it more likely that he (the only son) left farming in the parishes in Kronoberg to go to Stockholm or that the family originated from the city of Stockholm and moved out to the various parishes in Kronoberg? Not sure what the migration was like during those years - mid to late 1600's.

Attached is a 1695 estate inventory from Stockholm. Can anyone help me with the part that I've circled?

What does "Sal" before his name mean? I am not sure what else that part says and wonder also what the reference to Hans von Gerdes is. I'm trying to figure out if Lillman is a soldier name or ?. Not sure at all what his connection to Stockholm would be.

The entry for Nils and Bengta on the attached tax record, indicates that they are mother and son. It looks like it is saying that one of them is married. Two people are being taxed if I read this correctly. Who is married? Is it the mother or the son? It seems like it is the mother who is married, the son is not.

Can anyone help me with the information regarding Anna Persdotter in the attached copies from the Estate Inventory for Per Hansson who died in November 1801? My question is where his widow, Anna Persdotter, is still living at the time of this inventory. He is not listed as a widower on his death record but I found a death record that may be hers earlier in the same year. They are both listed on the 1798-1802 household records, but neither are listed after that. There is a note by his name only indicating he died in 1801. Any help in understanding this part of the estate inventory would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for responding. This family has been quite confusing because of the following records I have found: The 1761-1773 household record for Nanne Nilsson and wife Karin Jönsdotter shows them with a daughter Catharina. ArkivDigital: Hinneryd (G) AI:2 (1761-1773) Image: 48 Page: 79 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18566?image=48The (next available) 1786-1791 household record shows Nanne Nilsson (with a note that he died) and showing a different wife, Anna Eliasdotter. ArkivDigital: Hinneryd (G) AI:3 (1786-1791) Image: 220 Page: 210 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18567?image=220With the gap of 13 years between these household records I thought maybe his first wife had died and he remarried. I started looking through the marriage records and found that within the 1775 marriage records for Hinneryd, there were two death records, both which were subsequently crossed out. The first appeared to be for a Nils (crossed out) Nilsson and later Nanne was written in above it, and the second one, was for a Karin Jönsdotter from Wenneböke Södergård. Hinneryd (G) CI:1 (1712-1773) Image: 270 Page: 529 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30628?image=270&page=311So I looked in the 1775 death records and found the death record for Karin Jönsdotter from Wenneböke Södergård (but none for Nanne Nilsson). ArkivDigital: Hinneryd (G) CI:1 (1712-1773) Image: 363 Page: 715 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30628?image=363On 25 March 1776 I found a marriage record for Nanne Nilsson and Anna Eliasdotter(?). ArkivDigital: Hinneryd (G) CI:1 (1712-1773) Image: 271 Page: 531 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30628?image=271However, I cannot understand what this marriage records says. Can anyone help me with it? He had remarried, so I searched for Nanne Nilsson's death record, but when I found it, I thought maybe it was for his second wife, not for him. This is because I didn't know if the record was saying that he was married at the time he died, or that it was his wife that died. Hinneryd (G) CI:2 (1774-1833) Image: 252 Page: 485 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30629?image=252I still would like clarification on this record but I am thinking, now, that this is for Nanne Nilsson and not the wife.

Thank you very much for this information! I apologize for not including a further link. You have already discovered and referenced one link in your reply: Also I found a Sara born 1704 at Annerstad (G) AI:2 (1750-1772) Bild: 214 Sida: 411 at the same page as a Nils Nilsson but that Sara is most certain not Sara Plate because she was supposed to be born later. There is also a Sara (no patronymic name) listed on the 1766 tax record at Annerstad Byagård in which it is my understanding that she is an older, probably unmarried woman, who was very poor. When I saw Sara Plate listed among the sponsors at the baptism of one of Nils' children, I wondered if there was a connection.

Can anyone tell me the circled name is on the attached birth record? It looks like it might be "Plate."

Thank for this information, Yvonne! I was just writing you with a synopsis of my work when you responded - so will copy it here... I'll see if I can find the headings but I believe you are correct as I've seen her birth year listed as 1737 on the household record which would fit in with the 1752 tax record. Hi Yvonne, It seems likely that Sigrid Jönsdotter is the sister of my ancestor Jöns Jönsson. You already pointed out that she is a witness to the birth of one of Jöns children. The early Sickinge household record fits in well with what I've been able to find so far in the tax records also. It seems too that she may also be the daughter of the widow Margreta - as listed in the tax records. However, she couldn't be the biological daughter - maybe she was a daughter born to her husband's previous wife (?) as Margreta was born in 1714 and Sigrid was born in 1712. Would they list a previous wife's child as their daughter in the tax records? The daughter Sigrid is listed in the tax records between 1733 and 1739. After that, both Sigrid and Margaret seem to disappear. But, there is a Jöns Pärsson in Sickinge with a wife in 1744 through 1754 - I think the wife was Sigrid and that they were still there. However, they are gone in 1756. And I have no idea where they went. Also the widow Margreta is a gone from Sickinge after 1740. If she is the same person (and it does appear that she is) as in the Ryssby parish marriage record in 1758, I have no idea where she was between 1740 and 1758. I think that she is not my ancestor and I should be looking for previous wife. I've done some checking in Ljungby, Kånna, Annerstad and Ryssby for additional children, death records, estate inventories, but have not found anything more on this family. Not sure where to look next. Any more ideas or am I at the end of the road with this one? As always I'm very happy to check out any clues and am very appreciative of your help. So that's how I've spent my last two days! Thanks again, Vicki

Thank you for your thoughts! Good point, that since the other records in Ljungby don't begin until the 1750's, that should have been a clue in understanding when the household records likely began. I had considered that Jöns may not have been born at Sickingle. There are quite a few Jöns listed on the tax records there over the years, not sure which might have been him, if any. He may have been a farmhand and his sister may have married there. In 1733 there is a Sigrid listed but not listed as a daughter: Riksgäldsarkiven-Riksens-ständers-kontor-Kammarkontoret-GIg-820-1733-Image-1470-Page-287 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v835384?image=1470&page=287There is a daughter named Sigrid listed with the widow Margareta on the 1734 and 1735 tax records at Sickinge. I didn't understand how she might fit in but had noted it.

I will look into that connection too, so I thank you for your thoughts on this! If you notice any more on the records I reference above, I would welcome your further thoughts. Thanks again, Vicki

Hi Yvonne, Thank you for looking at this interesting entry. I don't think that is the family I'm looking for. But it caught my attention as I have been following a Jöns Jönsson born ca 1720 in Sickinge, Ljungby back in time. I believe I am following the correct person because I know that Jöns Jönsson married Brithe Stensdotter 2 Jun 1745, the groom was from Sickinge, Ljungby and the bride was from Kånna Norrgård, Kånna. They moved to Kånna Norrgård and their children were born there. In tracing back the origins of Jöns, you can see that Jöns Jönsson is not married on the 1744 or 1745 tax record in Sickinge: Kronobergs-läns-landskontor-G-EV-1-1744-Image-5270-Page-1131 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v400709?image=5270&page=1129Kronobergs-läns-landskontor-G-EV-2-1745-Image-4510-Page-1141 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v400710?image=4510&page=1139But Jöns Jönsson is married on the 1746 tax record: Jöns Jönsson Kronobergs-läns-landskontor-G-EV-3-1746-Image-4720-Page-965. https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840177?image=2380&page=963Of course, I don't know for sure that any of the other Jöns listed before him (and there are a couple ) in Sickinge are his father. Another thing I know is that my Jöns Jönsson had a daughter named Margaret, born 1750 in Kånna Norrgård, Kånna. I went back further and found that in 1718 and 1720 there was a Jöns listed in the tax records and Jordeböcker that might be the father of Jöns Jönsson. 1718 tax record Jöns 1718 tax Sickinge: Mantalslängder-1642-1820-Kronobergs-län-1642-1820-G-52-1718-Image-1490-Page-1107 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840176?image=1490&page=1105Jordeböcker, Jordeböcker Kronobergs län, SE/RA/55201/55201.07/80 (1720) https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/A0055370_00425#?c=&m=&s=&cv=424&xywh=-2880%2C127%2C12466%2C4719But, in 1721 there was only a widow Margareta and a Pär and Erich: Jordeböcker, Jordeböcker Kronobergs län, SE/RA/55201/55201.07/83 (1723) https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/A0055372_00404#?c=&m=&s=&cv=403&xywh=3046%2C2637%2C2689%2C1115However, none of these dates sync with the information from this household record and maybe I have been following the the wrong Jöns altogether. I am curious of your thoughts on whether any this stuff might fit together or be somehow related! Now that I understand how to use the Jordeböcker information, I'm using it to fill in all the gaps and even compare with the same tax years. Very interesting! Jörgen Tollesson sent me a very useful link for this! As always I'm appreciate of any help and advice you have to offer! Thanks so much! Vicki

Can anyone help me understand the attached household record in Sickinge, Ljungby. It is the first available household record for Ljungby parish - dates are not specifically referenced on the exam record although the listing indicates that the records end in 1793. You can see the families and birth years for them so you can get some idea. Ljungby (G) AI:1 (-1792) Image: 59 Page: 107 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18851?image=59It looks like it says: Ibm (same place which is Sickinge) Jöns Jönsson (with a note after it) - this name is crossed out Ibm Jöns J? born 1732 wife Margareta born 1714 son Jöns born 1751 daughter Anna born 1753 Then the these people are crossed out. Are the first 2 names the same name? Did the first man die and the widow remarried someone much younger? It is quite confusing. Any help with interpreting this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Martin,
Thank you so much for this great information! You pose some very interesting questions!
It is often a struggle for me to understand these very early tax records so I really appreciate this information and the summary you provided. Also, I don't know anything about the church books (Räkenskaper för kyrkan) and how to use them so this is very helpful.
I will take a close look at each of these records and document them for future reference in case we are able to learn more in the future to substantiate it.
It is all very interesting!
Thank you again for sending all of this,
Vicki

Thanks, Yvonne! And Martin, I appreciate your honesty. Yes, Martin had mentioned that he saw Kirstin Pärsdotter as a witness in Norretstorp - see 4. Göta-Hovrätt--Advokatfiskalen-Jönköpings-län-F-EVIIAABA-372-1712-Image-970-Page-185 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v323935?image=970&page=185You're correct that I don't know exactly when Bengt Larrson left or Bengt Torsson came, but I'm guessing he has a lot more tools to determine the timing. Thank you also for the clarification on the 1710 death record. I like the way you summed it up! If Lars born 1714 is the same as Lars Lundman it should be your Bengt's Lars judging from the witnesses at baptism That is perfect!! Well, I have a lot that I can document now and my main questions answered. Thank you Yvonne, Lars-Ola and Martin! You're great! Vicki

Lars-Ola,
Since you are the expert here (and I'm not) no doubt you are correct when you say that the Lars Bengtsson born in Norrets torp in 1714 is probably not the son of Bengt Larsson, but more likely the son of your ancestor Bengt Torsson. This is indicated both by the court record of the his purchase of the homestead in 1714 and also by the 1718-1723 household record in Annerstad that indicated the family have moved back to Angelstad. I have found no proof that Bengt Larsson and Kirstin Pärsdotter were living there in 1714.
Thanks for sending the information,
Vicki

I believe it says:
Bengt Larsson's son i Uhlarp Lars ? ? ?, 17 July 1710, 12 weeks old.

Thank you, Martin! I'm not trying to disprove your work at all - I'm just trying to ensure that I understand the information and back up my research with as much supporting documentation as I am able to. Sometimes when I get too much information all at once I have difficulty sorting it all out. However, I am very grateful for any information that I receive! You have been very helpful. I know that it doesn't at all prove this is his widow, but I'm trying to understand the information that is available since I have not found a death record for her or another marriage record for Lars after 1701/1702. Since this Lars died in 1706 at age 78, he would have been quite old already (not that it couldn't have happened that way). I don't have any way to tell who another Lars might have been who moved there. Maybe the notes on the subsequent tax records will answer some of the questions I have. Can you help me with the notes say for the following records? In 1704 there are a Lars and wife, similar to the record for 1703, they are supported by their children. There is also a note on the far right that I'm not sure if relates to them or not. Please correct me if I have not translated correctly. Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 46 (1704) Image: 1040 Page: 2165 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840170?image=1040&page=2165In 1705 they are not listed, but I'm not sure what the last part of the entry says or even if it to them. Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 47 (1705) Image: 1070 Page: 1753 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840171?image=1070&page=1751In 1707 again they are not listed but I don't really understand the last line in this record.

I could very easily misinterpret the information and would appreciate any correction. Anyway, thanks again for your help, Vicki

Lars-Ola, First I want to apologize for addressing you as Lars instead of Lars-Ola. I guess I had "Lars" on my brain. Lars-Ola, Yvonne and Martin (and anyone else who may be following this discussion), While some pieces seem to fit, others don't. I haven't updated anything in my tree yet so today I would like to ask questions one at a time to better understand what I have here. It may seem simplistic but is the easiest way for me to understand step by step and be able to move forward with this research. So, your patience is much appreciated! Do you agree that the Lars b. in 1709 is the same Lars as listed on the death record in 1710? 28 Dec 1709 birth record Uhlarp, Angelstad (note that a witness Anders in Östenstorp was present at his baptism) Angelstad-G-CI-1-1697-1747-Image-59-Page-107 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30821?image=5917 Jul 1710 death record Uhlarp, Angelstad Angelstad (G) CI:1 (1697-1747) Image: 62 Page: 113 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30821?image=62Thanks for your help, Vicki

Hi again Lars,
Thank you for this additional information. I have finally finished reviewing all the information today and know that more research is needed.
It is not at all surprising that you are questioning whether Lars born in Norretstorp in 1714 is part of this family as I'm not comfortable with that either. There are still questions that need to be answered. Are there 2 Lars Bengtssons? Did the first Lars b. 1709 die in 1710? IWe know there is a Lars Bengtsson still living per the 1718-1723 household record for Romoborna Norrgård in Annerstad.
There is a gap between the time the last child was born in Angelstad and the first child was born in Annerstad. Maybe that is when Maria was born, but I have not been able to find her birth record. That also could have been when another son Lars was born. The Lars in Norretstorp who was born to a Bengt was the only fit I could find, BUT there are many reasons to question it. First of all, there is no indication that they moved there in particular, but, if not, where were they living during that time gap?
I'm so glad you wrote. I have many questions and I am not sure where to start. It all seems a bit disconnected at the moment. Tomorrow I will take another look.
If you find anything further to prove or disprove this piece, I would be very interested. The information from the church books and court cases has been much more helpful than the tax records with this particular family.
As always, your help is much appreciated.
Thanks again,
Vicki

Lars-Ola, Thank you again for sharing the information on the court case of 1706 that names the father Lars Bengtsson and the relationship to his son Bengt Larsson and to his son-in-law Anders Jonsson, the husband of Bengt's sister Elin Larsdotter. From what I understand, in 1706, after the death of the father Lars Bengtsson, the widow Elin Månsdotter sued the son Bengt Larsson and son-in-law (Anders Jonsson) for an unpaid debt from 24 years prior. This claim was contested by the son and son-in-law on the basis that more than the allowable 20 years had passed since the debt was undertaken by the father Lars Bengtsson. These court cases are always very interesting, so hopefully I understand the essence of it. It really proves that nothing ever really changes. Thanks again, Vicki

Hi Martin,
Occasionally I have found an error so want to make sure that is not the case. Have you found a death record for her? Maybe I missed it.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Yvonne and Martin, The information you've both sent is really helpful! I am currently looking at the following part and have some questions in regard to the item I have highlighted: The connection to Östenstorp is possible, Bengt Larsson has a hustru Elin in Östenstorp many times as witness, a sister?
Anders Jonsson in Östenstorp has hustru Kirstin Persdotter in Ularp as witness in the year 1700.
In 1742 hustru Elin in Östenstorp dies, 90 years old, wife of Anders Jonsson.
1698 Anders Jonsson from Rataryd was married to Elin Larsdotter in Östenstorp.
In 1695 there is no Lars in Östenstorp
In 1701 Lars wife is listed, and there is a note about her, unreadable.. about being poor (and probably old).
In 1702, Lars in Östenstorp has become a widow. I continued looking at the tax records for Östenstorp after 1702 and this is what I found: In 1703 there is a Lars and wife with a note which I believe indicates they are being supported by the children - it looks like his wife is still alive? Mantalslängder 1642-1820 Kronobergs län 1642-1820 (G) 45 (1703) Image: 1160 Page: 1281 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840169?image=1160&page=1281In 1704 there a Lars and wife, again with a note similar to the last, they are supported by their children. There is also a note on the far right that I'm not sure if relates to them or not.

There is a death record for a widow in Östenstorp in 1707 that I think may be his widow. but I'm not sure what the first word is on the death record: Angelstad (G) CI:1 (1697-1747) Image: 51 Page: 91 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30821?image=51It is very possible that I have interpreted something incorrectly so please correct me if I have made an error!

Thank you for this information - it is very interesting. I definitely agree with you about the witnesses but thought maybe it was because they were now living in a different place (Annerstad) from where they were living when the first Lars was born (Angelstad) - in between places. Either way, it does look like one of these is Lars Lundman. If it is the first one, though, that means the death record I found would no longer fit. Not sure what to do with that. I'll note all of this and move on again as I still don't have anything definitive proving that either Lars Bengtsson is Lars Lundman! Thanks so much for your continued help, Vicki

Hi again Yvonne, I found a possibility for the other Lars Bengtsson. It was the only Lars born to a Bengt (in either Angelstad or Annerstad) within the timeframe between the birth of the first Lars Bengtsson in Dec 1709 in Angelstad and next birth record for his brother Anders in Aug 1716 in Annerstad. Annerstad (G) CI:1 (1708-1750) Image: 12 Page: 19 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30808?image=12As far as I can tell it says: 3 Feb 1714 is born Bengts son in Norretstorp, baptised ?, called Lars. Witnesses Jöns Knutsson? in Öyarp, Pehr in Norrett? and other names and places I'm not sure of. Usually the birth records of Bengt Larsson's children contain his full name instead of only Bengt. Not sure if that makes a difference. An interesting thing though, is that I had noted the following when trying to determine whether Lars Bengtsson was the same person as Lars Lundman: I found a 1741 marriage record for Lars and tax records for at least the years 1744-1777 but in all cases he was listed as Lars Lundman (or Lungman). I also found his widow's death record in Angelstad in 1785. If this is his death record, then I don't think Lars Bengtsson and Lars Lundman are the same man. Lars Bengtsson was born 1709 and this Lars Lundman, based on the death record, would have been born ca 1714, although it is still possible I guess. We know there was another Lars Bengtsson because he appears on the 1718-1723 household records and it also appears he was very young at that time. You had also previously written that a wife Maria in Marsjö in Annerstad (his supposed sister) was a witness at the baptism of his daughter Ingeborg in 1751, and Lars Lundman's wife in Angelstad was a witness at the baptism o Maria's in Marsjö son Abraham in 1743. They had a brother Abraham that died young. I suppose it might be possible to find some of the estate valuations at the siblings' deaths where a guardian could be named Lars something? Otherwise you might have to keep his whereabouts in your notes for the time being. So is it possible that this Lars Bengtsson is Lars Lundman? I still have not been able to find Maria's birth record but obviously she existed! And I had already forgotten about Abraham . Good thing I keep all my notes... I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this. Thanks again for your help, Vicki

Yvonne, Thank you for this! I have not found a birth record yet for Maria either. but will continue looking for her birth record and another Lars (maybe he is the Lars Bengtsson Lundman). In regard to another Lars, I had the same thought when I reviewed the 1718-1723 household record. When I had initially looked for a death record for Lars, I had originally assumed he was still alive after 1718 and therefore did not find one. Yesterday I went through all the records from the beginning and only found it at that time. When I first saw that household record you sent I was a little puzzled by the way Lars' name appears on it - it looks like it was originally written, then crossed out, then added again. Also, there is no age given for as there was for the other children. Also, I have a couple other children for Bengt Larsson and Kirstin that aren't listed on that 1718-1723 household record: Anders Bengtsson - b 2 Aug 1716 d. 11 Sept 1716 Annerstad-G-CI-1-1708-1750-Image-16-Page-27 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30808?image=16 Abraham Bengtsson (this name really doesn't seem to fit) b. 28 Sep 1718 d. 6 May 1719 - let me know what you think.

Yvonne and Martin and Lars-Ola, I cannot keep up with your posts quick enough! Hi Lars-Ola! and thank you for this information! It is nice to hear from you again! And, Martin, I'm very glad to hear that you have benefitted also from this discussion! I really appreciate all that everyone does to help me. Yvonne seems to get me to a place where others can also jump in, which I'm sure I wouldn't be able to do without her help. That is very much appreciated. It is difficult when you get that far back in time and really need to know a lot more than I do! So your help is precious! I just found a 17 Jul 1710 death record for a son of Bengt Larsson in Ularp (named Lars). He was 12 weeks old. Is this the same Lars Bengtsson that was born 28 Dec 1709? That would make him at least 6 months old but I realize the date may be inaccurate. If it is him, then he definitely would not be the same person as Lars Lundman, the bell ringer and organist.....which was an old open questions I had - I was never able to definitively link the name Lars Bengtsson with Lars Lundman. I notice that Martin lists him as Lars Bengtsson with no mention of Lundman. Angelstad (G) CI:1 (1697-1747) Image: 62 Page: 113 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30821?image=62Maybe this will put the question to rest. Thanks for your continued help! Vicki

I'm still looking through the birth/marriage/death records in Angelstad and found this record - it looks like a baptism record for a Lars Bengtsson in 1697 in Ryia(?), but there's a note that was erased I think. Angelstad-G-CI-1-1697-1747-Image-9-Page-7 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30821?image=9It is odd because the record is dated 19 Sept 1697 which is the same year that Bengt Larsson's first child named Per was born on 28 Nov 1697 in Ularp. Does this have anything to do with this family? Thank for your help, Vicki

Hi again Yvonne, There is a 1706 death record for a Lars in Östenstorp at age 78 which puts his birth year ca. 1628. This would seem to be Bengt Larsson's father! If I am correct, then how did you know where he was living and that this is him? Angelstad (G) CI:1 (1697-1747) Image: 48 Page: 85 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30821?image=48I have also found a death record for a 6 week old child of Bengt Larsson in Ularp in Dec 1703. There is a birth record for a son Sven born in November 1703 so I think this is a death record for Sven.

I am not sure which one it is, I haven't been able to find that many different listings in the tax records for Uhlarp/Ularp, but I would have thought they would all be listed together in the tax records.

Hi Yvonne, I had been trying to see if I can find Bengt Larsson (Britta Bengtsdotter's father) starting with the tax records around 1700 when Britta was born in Uhlarp. The available tax records are 1695, next one is 1701. There is a Bengt there during that timeframe, but it is a Bengt that is very old in 1694 (over 90) and, in fact, is being supported by his children in 1701 so doesn't fit. With Brita and many of her siblings being born there between 1695 and 1709, it seems strange that Bengt (Larsson, Britta's father) doesn't seem to be taxed in Uhlarp. I had thought maybe the "old" Bengt may have been related. But there are many Bengts and many Brittas. That is still possible I suppose. I looked into the Bengt with wife Brita and son Nils in Kärringe Norregård in Angelstad (on page 165). That was a Bengt Bengtsson, born in 1732 which was before Britta Bengtsson was born at Uhlarp in 1700, so it it quite confusing. I think I've found the family after they moved to Romborna Norrgård in Annerstad sometime after 1709. Bengt died there in 1751 so I'll go through those tax records to see if there are any more clues as to where he originally came from. I'll likely have more questions. Thanks again for your help! Vicki

Thank you again, Yvonne! As you can see, I am going through all the available tax records looking for Britta Bengtsdotter's father. I know that she and several siblings were born in Uhlarp in Angelstad between 1697 and 1707, inclusive and that their father's name is Bengt Larsson. This "old" Bengt cannot be her father. But, I'm wondering if he possibly is her grandfather? That would mean that he had a son Lars - for which I have no proof thus far. There is a household record for Ularp Angelstad that shows a Bengt with a wife named Britta, maybe my Britta was named after her...unfortunately, there is very little information contained in this record except that they have a son Nils which fits with the name Nils you find on a later tax record where the "children are feeding the parents." May be only a coincidence. The names are crossed out. Angelstad (G) AI:1 (-1793) Image: 137 Page: 25 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18231?image=137, I believe I've found Bengt, her father, later in the tax records in Romborna Norrgård in Annerstad during the years the later children were born (but I haven't finished looking into all these records yet). I'm sure I'll have more questions on these. I wholeheartedly appreciate all the help I receive with these notes - it makes all the difference in determining whether or not I might be on the right track. If it makes sense I'll keep it for later when I may be able to prove it or disprove it! Thanks again for all your help, Vicki

Attached is a 1680 tax record for Ularp in Angelstad that I am having trouble understanding.

After that it says Uhlarp Jön and wife and ? widower(?) 3 people are being taxed Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thank you, Vicki

Attached is an entry from the first available household exam record for Ularp Skattegård in Angelstad parish. The names have been crossed out and there are no birth years or examination marks associated with this entry. Can anyone tell me what the circled note below the names says? Angelstad (G) AI:1 (-1793) Image: 137 Page: 251 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18231?image=137I believe the names are: Bengt Bengtsson Wife Britta Son Nils Please correct me if I have interpreted any of the names incorrectly.

Thank you for your help again! Your information is very helpful!
As I continue to review my research (in hopes of learning more) and in looking more closely at the records, I noticed these variations in spelling and wondered if I had misinterpreted them, possibly mixing up families.
It is a relief to know they are the same name!
Thank you so much for responding again!

Thank you very much for this information! Another reason I thought (and hoped) that Margareta might be the widow of Jöns is because one of his granddaughters is named Margareta. She is the daughter of Jöns son who is also named Jöns.
I'll take a look at all the helpful information you sent.
Thank you so much!

In reviewing the research on one of my families, I'd like to confirm the circled names listed on several records: a 1700 birth record, a 1723 marriage record and 1701 tax record to make sure they are correct (and the same as each other). 1. 1700 birth record for Britta B?dotter at Ularp, Angelstad - I thought it was Bengtsdotter but could it be something else?: Angelstad-G-CI-1-1697-1747-Image-17-Page-23 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30821?image=172. 1723 marriage record for a Per Arvidsson and a Britta B? Again, I thought her patronymic name was Bengtsdotter. Tannåker-F,-G-C-1-1688-1788-Image-99-Page-191 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v32417?image=993. 1701 tax record for Britta's parents in Ularp, Angelstad parish lists two similar names - a B? and a Bengt. The first line shows a B? and wife and a Nils and wife (I believe) and the second line shows a Bengt but doesn't indicate a wife or if any tax is paid - also there is a note which I'm not sure about. Is it possible the B? is the correct name instead of Bengt?

I want to make sure that I'm not mixing up similar names (and thereby mixing up families) as I move forward. Especially on the tax record, these two "B" names look very similar to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again, Vicki

Yes, it is true what you say. The reason I am trying to establish the marital status of Jöns in 1719 is because his wife is listed on the 1718 tax record and on the next available tax record in 1723 Jöns is not listed but there is a widow Margreta. I don't know if this was his wife or not but would be something further to pursue in my research. 1718Mantalslängder-1642-1820-Kronobergs-län-1642-1820-G-52-1718-Image-1490-Page-1107 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840176?image=1490&page=11051723Riksgäldsarkiven Riksens ständers kontor Kammarkontoret GIg:810 (1722-1723) Image: 1530 Page: 297 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v835374?image=1530&page=295Also, I have found inconsistencies with the name of the widow. On the 1724 tax record the widow is called Märtha, who I originally thought might have been a different person altogether, but in subsequent years (from 1725-1729 which is the last record on which her name appears), she was again listed as Margreta, therefore I think it is all the same person. 1724Riksgäldsarkiven-Riksens-ständers-kontor-Kammarkontoret-GIg-811-1724-Image-2090-Page-411 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v835375?image=2090&page=4111725Riksgäldsarkiven-Riksens-ständers-kontor-Kammarkontoret-GIg-812-1725-Image-1950-Page-381 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v835376?image=1950&page=3811729Riksgäldsarkiven-Riksens-ständers-kontor-Kammarkontoret-GIg-816-1729-Image-1810-Page-355 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v835380?image=1810&page=355At this point, I'm only able to document what I find in the tax records as there are no available birth/death/marriage or estate inventories available that early. It will hopefully be helpful information later at some point. Thanks so much for your help, Vicki

Thanks for your response. I didn't try for the headings this time as I have had almost no success with it. They are not consistent between years or parishes so it has become far too cumbersome even though it would be helpful. So I guess I must be misinterpreting what those counts mean - now it appears it probably 4 total, with 3 of them being two 'drängar' and a 'piga'. Usually I can reason it out, but not this one. Thanks again for your help. I always appreciate it! Vicki

Can anyone help me with how to get started researching the court records? How do you decide where to begin? I am looking to learn the patronymic name of a Lars who first appears in the tax records for Miäla in Torpa in 1724 and is listed as Lars (with no patronymic name) through 1727. From 1729 -1731 there is a Lars Pårsson listed. I think that Lars Pårsson may be my ancestor, father of Per Larsson b. 1725 in Miäla and his brother Anders b. 1731 in Miäla. But, I don't know whether two Lars are the same person or not. I've not been able to find a marriage record for a Lars Pårsson and ? in Torpa that fits the place and time (also checking nearby parishes of Annerstad, Vrå and Odensiö). And, to complicate matters, there is a 1723 Torpa marriage record for a Lars Månsson from Skeen in Annerstad who married the daughter (Gunnil Giermundsdotter) of the previous Miäla taxpayer, Giermund, who is listed in the 1723 and 1724 Miäla tax records. Much later, from 1744-1746 there is a Lars Månsson listed on the Miäla tax records. The only children I have found who were born to a Lars between 1723 and 1731 in Miäla are: Per Larsson born 26 Jan 1725 (my ancestor): Torpa-G-C-1-1690-1747-Image-81-Page-157 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30192?image=81Anders Larsson born 30 Jul 1731 (Per’s brother as noted in Per’s estate inventory): Torpa-G-C-1-1690-1747-Image-87-Page-169 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30192?image=87So I don’t know which Lars is the father of Per Larsson – is it Lars Månsson or Lars Pårsson? Lars Pårsson seems more likely based on the naming of the two children and because he was listed at Miäla at the time that Anders was born in 1731. But, this is not certain. Now I would like to attempt the court records but have no idea where to begin. Should I start with the records around 1723 or 1724 (around the time Lars first appeared in the tax records)? I am totally lost here but am willing to learn how to search through these records. Do you think this too much to post on the Swedish Torpa board? Any ideas on how and where to begin would be very helpful and very much appreciated! Thank you so much for any help with this, Vicki

Hi Yvonne, Thank you for your comments. They are very helpful I have not been able to find anything on Per's brother Anders Larsson other than a death record for him so far. I would have liked to find a marriage record and children for him, but have not been successful so far. I've looked at the baptismal sponsors for them but haven't learned anything more from it, unfortunately. he Torpa estate inventory records begin in 1758 but I have done some checking. Nothing yet, but I will check further on that. I've also done a little research on the two marriages, trying to see if I can find further information on the husbands. It seems very possible to me that a daughter of the previous farmer, Giermund, would be married to the next person to be taxed after Giermund at Miäla was no longer listed. In that case, the marriage between Lars Månsson and Gunnil Giermundsdotter seems to be the most likely, but still leaves me wondering about the names which don't fit the naming pattern in what I can tell so far. I'm going to redouble my efforts on Per's brother Anders to see if I can find a marriage record and any children. The date of their marriage also makes sense. It is possible that the Lars that is listed after Giermund in the tax record is Lars Månsson but I don't know that for certain. It is very interesting that Lars Månsson shows up much later (with his full name) in the tax records. It is also very interesting that it is noted that his wife is crippled. With this in mind, before I give up on furthering this particular family line, I am going to look further into Lars Månsson and also look into the 1727 marriage of Ingier Giermundsdotter to Pehr Nilsson listed in the tax records at one point. Thank you very much for taking a look. It helps to rule out one of the potential parents, so I can focus more on the other. It may be that Giermund and his daughters are the key here. We'll see. Maybe I'll even make an attempt at the court books - but don't hold your breath. Thanks again. Your help is always very much appreciated, Vicki

First, I apologize if this is something more than I should put here, but I'll give it try in case someone is willing to take to the time to read through it all. I've to make it as concise as possible, so I appreciate any suggestions you can offer. I am trying to determine which Lars is the father of my ancestor Pehr Larsson and his brother Anders Larsson who were born in Miäla (Torpa parish) in 1725 and 1731 respectively. These are the only two siblings I have found for this family. It may be that they were from somewhere else and that there were more children earlier, but I have not found any children born after Anders. Birth records Pehr Larsson born 26 Jan 1725 Miäla, son of Lars, mother not listed - who is his father? Torpa-G-C-1-1690-1747-Image-81-Page-157 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30192?image=81Anders Larsson born 30 July 1731, son of Lars, mother not listed Torpa-G-C-1-1690-1747-Image-87-Page-169 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30192?image=87Household records for Miäla 1717-1723 On page 61 there is listed a Pehr (age 67) with wife Ingier (age 54) and son Jonas – may or may not be related to Per Larsson (maybe his grandfather? May be a stretch) Torpa-G-AI-1-1717-1722-Image-41-Page-61.jpg https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v19646?image=41On page 62 in Miala is listed a Giermund (age 57) with wife (age 33) a daughter Ingier (age 15 - crossed out with a note having to do with Skeen I think) and a son Giermund (erased?). Further down on the page are listed the names Lars and wife Gunnil with no additional detail (no children). I believe that Giermund and Ingier are Gunnil’s parents. Torpa-G-AI-1-1717-1722-Image-42-Page-63.jpg https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v19646?image=42Marriage record If the parents were married in Torpa (and I know that is a big if), there are a couple possibilities: The following marriage could explain the family’s connection to Miäla. However, the names Måns and Gunnil don’t seem to fit into the naming pattern (although I only know of two children: Per and Anders for this family). It would also fit with the timing of their first child Per. 23 Dec 1723 marriage between Drangan Lars Månsson from Skeen (Annerstad parish) and Pigan Gunnil Giermundsdotter in Miäla. Torpa-G-C-1-1690-1747-Image-98-Page-191 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30192?image=98This Lars would seem to explain the son named Per but the marriage took place at least a year after son Per was born (which is possible I realize) but there is no direct connection to Miäla. 1726 marriage between Drangan Lars Pehrsson of Abbeshult (Vrå parish) and Pigan Ingeborg Johansdotter in Gashult (Torpa parish) Torpa-G-C-1-1690-1747-Image-99-Page-193 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30192?image=99I also realize there may have been more than one marriage here – there is a six year age difference between the siblings. Maybe there are 2 different fathers named Lars? Tax records for Miäla – not sure how to tell if they are married, it seems only the husbands are listed 1723 Giermund 1724 Sven and Lars, Giermund and Gumme 1725 Sven, Lars and Jonas (or Jöns) 1726 Sven, Lars and p. Ingierd 1727 Sven, Lars, Gumme 1728 Sven, Bengt, Per Nilsson (there is a 1727 marriage record for a Pehr Nilsson who married174 an Ingier Giermundsdotter in Miäla -probably the sister of Gunnil Giermundsdotter). 1729 Sven, Lars Persson (this is the first time a last name is given) 1730 Sven w/daughter Brita, Lars Persson 1731 Sven Bengtsson, p.

Death record I found the following record (is this the death record for the wife of Lars Månsson?) dated 28 Mar 1747, buried 6 April: Torpa-G-C-1-1690-1747-Image-121-Page-233 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30192?image=121Does anyone have any suggestions or comments for what they feel is likely or unlikely here? At first glance, it seemed like the Lars Mansson who married Gunnil Giermundsdotter was the likely father based on marriage date and timing of birth of Per in January 1725. But, the first time Lars Mansson is listed with full name in the tax records there was in 1744 (not that an earlier Lars (with no last name) could not have been him also). That a Lars Persson appeared in the tax records there for three years (1729-1731) is also confusing as Per’s brother Anders was born in 1731. It’s a head scratcher. 😊 Not sure where to go next with this as I’ve looked through all the records I can think of. Maybe it is another one I’ll have to set aside for now. But, I’m open for suggestions! Thanks so much for your help! Vicki

Hi again! Thank you very much. This is very interesting. I am now looking into another of my "dead ends" trying to determine which Lars is the father of my ancestor Per Larsson. After each family I work on, I learn more and review those I had previously given up on. Later this morning, I will be posting a note showing what I have found so far and asking for comments or any advice on how to move forward or whether I can based on available information. At this point it is too much for me to try to put it on the Swedish Torpa page, but I may be able to do that once I know where to go from here. As always, I very much appreciate any help with this!

Can anyone tell me what the circled notes say on the attached 1741 tax record? I think the second note has to do with Lars' son Per being over or under age 15 but am not sure.
Thanks so much for any help with this!

Torpa-G-C-1-1690-1747-Image-96-Page-187 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v19646?image=65I think the marriage date relates to Epiphany so I believe the marriage was in January 1717.

Yvonne and Lars-Ola,
I guess I've gone about as far as I can on this particular family for now. Thank you both very much for all of help you given to me! Without it I never would have learned so much and it has all been so interesting!!
If you come across anything further that would help me determine if Kierstin Jonsdotter's father is Jon Nannasson (or someone else) , I hope you will update this topic because, of course, I would be very interested in learning what you've found!
Thank you again,

There is name crossed out (looks like it could be Per) but is not designated as a son or daughter but instead with letter g? in front of it. There is also a note that looks like it says ? in Vrå but I am not sure of the first word.
Can anyone tell me what this says and would it apply only to that one person?

Sorry, I hit the Post button accidentally. So here is the rest... I think (regarding 1694) there was a Jon and wife and a farmhand? and then Per and a wife (maybe the son)...confusing, but for now I think the son Per is living there. 1695 and 1694 look same I think: Mantalslängder-1642-1820-Kronobergs-län-1642-1820-G-42-1695-Image-1740-Page-1289 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840166?image=1740&page=The next available tax record is 1701 and Jon is a widower and Nils and wife are there.

Today I spent a lot of time looking at the Nannasson tax records in Södergárden Vigåssa in Annerstad and Nanne ? tax records in Kränkeboda in Vrá. I saw Otto (a familiar name) and others but I, of course, don't know if any of this fits into the picture yet. Hopefully, it will make more sense at a later time. One thing I found very interesting is how detailed the very early records where. The wives names were listed and some of the patronymic names also. I trace Nanne ? back to 1653 and 1654 and both tax records included his full name: Nanne Larsson! 1654Mantalslängder-1642-1820-Jönköpings-län-1643-1820-F-12-1654-Image-2160-Page-1139 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v843392?image=2160&page=1137 1653Mantalslängder-1642-1820-Kronobergs-län-1642-1820-G-12-1653-Image-3200-Page-325 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840136a?image=3200&page=325It's all very interesting! Thanks again for your help! It looks like all I will have, for now, regarding whether or not Jon Nannasson is the father of Kierstin Johnsdotter are a bunch of pieces to the puzzle. But, I will keep them in preparation for the next piece. Thanks again. I really appreciate all the help you and Lars-Ola have given me, Vicki

Thank you for this information! It is interesting about the kind of tax they are paying, I didn't realize this and had wrongly been assuming that they were military people. I only remember seeing this notation in the older tax records and found it a bit confusing. I should have asked (there are so many things to ask!). I know that it is all disconnected at this point, but I'm trying to establish whether there is any possibility that Jon and wife on the Slättewrå 1680 tax record in Wrå could be the same Jon as the 1682 sexton/bell ringer. It seems possible if he had an affiliation with the church tax. There are no other tax records available between 1680 and 1687. In 1687 (and after), it looks like Jon is no longer in Slättewrå. But, in 1687, there is a Jon (likely Nannesson) living in Viggåsa Sodergård in Annerstad, therefore, I think it is possible that they could be the same person. Mainly, I'm trying to determine whether I should rule it out or not. Don't worry - I never assume anything. As long as there is a possibility that I am heading the right direction, I will keep collecting more data. Otherwise I will drop that line of inquiry and leave my notations for future reference. I think it is still a possibility at this point. Even if I don't find proof in the records that I am able to locate and review, that's ok. I'll keep my notes and if I can come across more information in the future that can prove a connection, that would be great! All your help and input is very much appreciated, Vicki

Attached is a 1680 tax record for Slattevrå, Vrå that shows a Jon and wife and a Hans(?) and wife at Slattevrå (circled in red). I am not sure what it says at the beginning of the line (circled in blue) It looks like these are military people though. Would it be at all possible for this person to be the same person as the sexton/bell ringer in the 1682 document we just looked at? Mantalslängder-1642-1820-Kronobergs-län-1642-1820-G-29-1680-Image-1240-Page-956 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840153?image=1240&page=954It seems possible that Jon Nannesson may have come from Vrå since there is a connection there with two of his sons but I don't see anything in the court records that would indicate where Jon Nannesson was living when he bought the properties in Viggåsa Sodergård in Annerstad. Did I miss it? There is a Jöns in Slattevrå 1687 but am not sure if that is the same person or not. Mantalslängder-1642-1820-Kronobergs-län-1642-1820-G-34-1687-Image-1120-Page-1475 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840158?image=1120&page=1473I don't find Jon listed there in 1689 or 1690. Still nothing to prove a definitive link between Jon Nannesson in Slattevrå in Vrå and Jon in Viggåsa Sodergård in Annerstad yet. I'm not actually sure if any of this is linked but would like your thoughts on what I have found so far. I will continue tomorrow. Thanks so much for all of your help, Vicki

Hi Lars-Ola, You sent a reference to a Jon Nannesson for me to view: [/size]Regarding the name Nanne, Yvonne is correct that it is more frequent in Vrå parish. And there is a connection Vrå parish with two of the sons, Per and Johan came to live there. Also it is possible that Jon Nannesson is the same person that were the sexton/ringer in Vrå 1682 (Slättevrå)[size=78%]

Hi again Yvonne and Lars-Ola,
Thank you both for the clarifications and additional information!
Translating is difficult so it is very helpful to have my rough translation reviewed by you to let me know whether or not I am still on the right track.
I also saw the Aug 1752 death record for a Johan Nannesson when trying to find Johan Jonsson in Vrå and wondered the same thing (that maybe there was a mixup on the name!). There seems so be no other trace of him there (so far) otherwise.
Thank you both for all this information! I will continue to follow up on all of it and see what can be learned. My specific questions related to this family I'll continue to post on the original post in order to keep this all together. Hopefully this will help other researchers that may be looking for this same family. They will find the information in one place. I haven't posted on the Swedish boards yet and will look at that for future since you think it may be helpful.
Thank you again for all of the help you've both given me! It is all very interesting!

Hi again Yvonne, My goal is to see if I can determine for certain whether Jon Nannesson (vs. Persson) in Södergárden Vigássa is the father of Kiersten Johnsdotter (wife of Jöran Jonsson) and her siblings listed on the Sunnerbo dombok court records from 1718 and 1720 (which mentions a document from 1710). (Lars-Ola now thinks that it is more likely to be Jon Nannesson since Jon Persson had a son Olaf, a son who is not listed among the siblings of my ancestor. I think he is correct and I'm hoping I can find a solid connection to Jon Nannesson. I am somewhat puzzled, though, that I don't find the name Nanne in the line anywhere. In looking at the documents that Lars Ola sent, I'm trying to understand what they exactly are telling me. In the following reference: https://www.sunnerbo.nu/Sunnerbo-dombok-1696.s26?highlight=Wigg%C3%A5saIt says on page 45: Samma dagh Präsenterades i Retten fyra med wittnen ratifice- 104 rade Kiöpebref, det enna af d 16 January 1685 uthgifwit och Dito underskrefwit af Magnus Jönßon Bruun, uppå een halfJordafierding uthi Sördragården Wiggåsa, som han till Joen Nanna-son och hans hustro Karin Johansdotter för 15 dl.r S.mt för which I think, along with telling me his wife's name is Karins Johnsdotter, also is telling when he bought that property at Södergárden Vigássa (16 Jan 1685). Am I correct in this assumption? If further says, on page 46, the following: Än dito Jöns Swenßons i Miäla och Elin Jonsdotters kiöpebref uppå deß andehlar uthi dito gård, som dhe
till Joen Nannaßon för Tolff dal.r S.mt föryttrat hafwa; förden-skull, såsom deßa kiöp äro frywilleligen giorda, betalningen
richtigt påfolgt, sampt ber.de jordalotter i Södregården Wiggåsa sälliare och deras arfwingar, och tillägnas Joen Nannasson,
hans hustru Karin Johansdotter och arfwingar etc . which I don't quite understand except that it relates to property for the benefit of his wife and heirs who are not mentioned by name. I also am unclear about the date of this - is it from 1696? From the first court records Lars-Ola sent from 1718 and 1720, Kiersten Johnsdotter and her siblings each sold their shares of Södergárden Vigássa to their brother Nils Jonsson. So I wondered if this relates to what was written on page 46? Was this Jon Nannesson making some provision for his wife and children? As I had difficulty translating, this may be a wrong assumption I realize. The tax record for 1687 in Södergárden Vigássa was the first I saw mention of Jon and wife. I continued to see them listed until 1695. In 1693 I see them listed with a son Per (unmarried). https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840164?image=1340&page=1474In 1701 he is listed as a widower, but it looks like his son Nils (married) in living there. He is the Nils I believe his siblings sold their shares of Södergárden Vigássa to sometime between 1710-1718. https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840167?image=1230&page=1611But, I find the 1702 record confusing. It still lists a Jon (apparently married) and Nils and wife are still living there. So I think Jon has left the farming to Nils (his son) in 1701. It would make sense that he is helping to support his parents in 1702. It is exciting to learn whatever I can and appreciate very much all the help you and Lars-Ola have given me. Should I still be adding more inquiries to the original post or should I be separating my newer questions out under new posts. I don't want you to feel obligated to respond to every post. You have been wonderful and very kind in answering my ongoing questions!! Thanks again for all your help! Vicki

Yvonne,
Thank you so much for this! I had confused Eva Christina and Eva Catharina so thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding and also explaining who Ulrica Humble was. Jacob Johansson and Nils Pehrsson were not related to the family then, so that makes sense. I just hadn't been sure how they fit in, only that they appeared on both estate inventories.
These inventories really shed light on the difficulties families went through and how they supported each other. It is very interesting. Do I understand correctly then, that before she died, she had asked her brother, Magnus, to be the guardian of the only surviving child, Georg Gustaf? Would that have been only for representing the son for the estate inventory or to actually take him into his family? Or would legal guardianship have to be established later through a separate court case?
I continue to review and add to, where possible, the information that you and Lars-Ola have given to me! I can't resist expanding (and documenting) all the I can find. Everything I learn is of interest!
Again, thank you so much for all your help!

Today I found the 1759 and 1761 Estate Inventories for Christian Ahnström and his widow, respectively. When Christian Ahnström died in 1759, he had two very young children: a son Georg Gustaf b. 1756 and a daughter Eva Christina b. 1758. Christian Ahnström's (1759) Estate Inventory mentions his widow M E Humble but I don't see mention of the children. But, there is mention of a Jacob Johansson in ? and a Nils Pehrsson in Hult (Not sure who they are but they are also mentioned in the widow's estate inventory in 1761.) Christian's estate inventory begins on: Norra-Vedbo-häradsrätt-F-FII-3-1758-1760-Image-246-Page-483 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v77675?image=246Widow Margareta Elisabet Humble (1761) Estate Inventory is very long and appears to have many family members and relationships included! She must have come from an important family? I can't figure it all out. Both of the children, Georg Gustaf and Eva Christina are mentioned. I am guessing, since they are still very young children, they are explaining what will happen to the children....it begins on page: Norra-Vedbo-häradsrätt-F-FII-4-1761-1762-Image-53-Page-99 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v77676?image=53Any insight of what happened to them and who this family is would be much appreciated!

Hi Yvonne, Thank you so much! This interesting information really gives us a glimpse of their lives at the time. Even for a "better family" life could be very difficult. The detailed description of their burial places is also very interesting. In the notes it appeared that Christian was buried in the church but I had thought that meant in the church cemetery (rather than inside the church). I'm glad that you were able to provide a more thorough description of where Christian and his wife were buried. Thanks again for filling in my (large) gaps and for other clarifications. As you can see, I'm still documenting the Ahnström brothers. It's all so interesting! Vicki

Hi again Lars-Ola,
I agree that since there is no sibling named Olaf, it is unlikely that Jon Persson is the father of Kiersten Jonsdotter and her siblings.
If Jon Nannesson is the father of Kiersten Jonsdotter (and her siblings) and Karin Johansdotter is their mother, then it makes sense the one of the siblings is named Johan after their mother's father. Secondly, Kiersten Jonsdotter (married to Jöran Jonsson) had a daughter named Karin Jöransdotter, named after her own mother Karin Johansdotter. But, I don't see how Nanne fits in unless there was another son who had died earlier who had that name.
It is all very interesting! I look forward to hearing more when you have time! I have plenty to work on in the meantime and I'm appreciative of whatever you have time to do!
Again, thank you so much for all your help,

Hi again Lars-Ola, Thank you so much for this further information. I feel that I'm rather slow at my research but am trying to understand clearly what I am documenting. I really appreciate all of this information and only wish I could digest it faster! One question I have is about the two Kierstins - I have not, so far, seen two surviving children named the same name, both still living. Usually, one dies and other gets same name. Is this unusual? I think I've found the other Kierstin's family (she was married to Anders Ericksson in Bergsgd, Annerstad. Fortunately there is a household record for 1718-1723 available. While there are no last names, I think this is the correct record for them. Annerstad-G-AI-1-1718-1723-Image-136-Page-259 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18248?image=136Hopefully, I can use this information to learn more about this family. Also, I think I may have found the household record for Nils and his family at Vigåssa, Annerstad - also from a 1718-1723 household record. Annerstad-G-AI-1-1718-1723-Image-77-Page-141 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18248?image=77There is a 1744 death record in Vrå for a Pehr Jonsson , if I'm reading the place name correctly as Håsthult this could possibly be his death record. It would put his birth year circa 1664. These findings need further proof which I will continue looking for. There are no household records available in Vrå for the 1718-1720 timeframe to give me a starting point for the other siblings so I will check other records. It would be very exciting if the Jon Persson we are discussing is a brother to your ancestor and the same person referenced in the 1658 and 1666 court records and also mentioned in the 1682 rotelängdand, enabling us to go tack another three generations! (I am not clear on what a rotelängdand is, unfortunately). I can see that I have much more work to do and I am very happy to do it! If you see anything that you feel is obviously incorrect so far, please tell me. At this point I am not taking it as fact, but only that it requires more research. Thank you so much for your continued interest and help, Vicki

Thank you so much for this additional information! It is all very interesting and I will follow up on it along with all of the new information I've just received about the Anström brothers!
You and Yvonne are keeping me very busy! And, I'm enjoying it all immensely! I would have never been able to learn all of this without your continued help and interest!!

Yvonne,
In looking at the information from the Ahnström Från Biografiska anteckningar, it looks as if (TAB 1)indicates that the names of the parents of Peter and Christian are unknown.... is that your interpretation? They were researching the name Ahnström back in time and we were coming from the other direction, looking at what happened to all the children of Jöran Jonsson.
If that is the case, whoever wrote the biographical information on Peter and Christian probably would want to know the connection we've made using the information that Lars-Ola sent....
What do you think?

I really appreciate this new information that will enable me to move forward and am eager to follow it up!

Yvonne, So far I've found no evidence of Peter Anström living in either Rönhult in Malmbäck parish or Råsa in Lommaryd parish. There are no household records available around that timeframe. I've checked for birth records for possible children and for marriage records. Still need to check death records. There is a big gap in the available GMRs between 1744 and 1759. Peter is no longer there in 1759. The 1743 and 1744 GMRs have no notes, but the 1742 GMR seems to have an extensive note but am unsure how helpful it will be in locating him. Can you tell me if the notes on the attached GMR gives any indication where he might be? Generalmönsterrullor--Jönköpings-regemente-F-373a-1742-Image-329 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v50310?image=329No sign of Christian Anström so far - but I'm still trying to locate him also!

Yvonne, When looking for Peter and Christian Anström you said: it would be important to note the name of the place. They should be noted there perhaps in a soldiers cottage. In the response from Leif, the record for Peter Anström can be found at: Generalmönsterrullor--Jönköpings-regemente-F-372-1741-1742-Image-380-Page-370 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v50309?image=380I'm not exactly sure where he is living - how can I tell?

Hi Yvonne, Today I'm reviewing all the information you sent and that I've been working on to make sure I haven't missed anything and that I've noted all the information within my software. I want to thank you again for all of your ongoing help! You have given me so much information that I would never have found on my own. You may have noticed that I put a separate inquiry on Peter Anström out for military help with the 1739-1742 Jönköping regemente muster rolls. After going through most of the link you sent, I was lost and not coming up with anything and unsure I was even still on the right track. The googled information didn't seem to pan out either and I had checked the soldier register previously also and found nothing. So, maybe someone can help me with this piece. You've done so much! I thought it would be nice not put more on your todo list!! Thank you again, I'm sure I'll have more questions along the way! Vicki

I'm trying to locate Pehr/Peter and Christian Anström/er (or possibly Jöransson) in the General Muster rolls for the Jönköping Regiment around 1739-1742 or so. A google search led me to the Source: General Muster - Jönköping Regiment 372 (1741-1742), Image 5 and page 368 where a (Sergeant) Peter Anström is supposedly listed. However, I don't find his name listed there. His commanding officer Per Silfversparre is listed but not Peter.
I also "paged" through most of the 1739 muster roll for the Jönköping Regiment but found nothing so far. If anyone can help me locate Peter I would really appreciate it!
Thanks for any help with this!

Hi again, Thank you for your thoughts on this. I have kept all the documentation I've researched so far in case I find something further that will prove it. It seems that he has gone by the name Lundman forever but still seems like there is a connection there. A Rebecka is listed on the 1765, 1766 and 1768 records - specifically as a daughter in 1768. These are the 3 tax records listing his daughter Rebecka: 1765Mantalslängder-1642-1820-Kronobergs-län-1642-1820-G-72-1765-Image-3530-Page-347 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840196?image=3530&page=3441766Mantalsläer-1642-1820-Kronobergs-län-1642-1820-G-73-1766-Image-1310-Page-565 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840197?image=1310&page=5581768Mantalslängder-1642-1820-Kronobergs-län-1642-1820-G-75-1768-Image-2720-Page-266 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840199?image=2720&page=263I also tried to go back to find a birth record for Rebecca around 1743 - 1748 to see how here parents are listed , again those birth records are really hard to read so I set it aside. Good point about possible estate inventories that may shed more light - once I have all the people in place, I'll see what I can find. Thanks again! Vicki

I should have added that I found a 1741 marriage record for Lars and tax records for at least the years 1744-1777 but in all cases he was listed as Lars Lundman (or Lungman). I also found his widow's death record in Angelstad in 1785. If this is his death record, then I don't think Lars Bengtsson and Lars Lundman are the same man. Lars Bengtsson was born 1709 and this Lars, based on that death record, would have been born ca 1714, although it is still possible I guess.
Thanks,
Vicki

Yvonne, Will you verify whether this is the Romborna Norregård household record you are referring to for Brita Bengtsdotter's family? As you indicated, it is a bit difficult to read - it shows Bengt and his wife Marta(?) (and other children in the family?)- I can't tell if the crossed out name is Bengta or Brita nor can I read the note. (not a surprise) Annerstad-G-AI-1-1718-1723-Image-23-Page-33 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18248?image=23I'm getting near the end of the information you've given me on this family although there are a couple death records for children who died young that I haven't been able find yet - I'll circle back and look again. I want you to know how much I appreciate all you're doing to help me. It would have been impossible for me to find all this on my own.

On 16 Jan 1723 were married Per Arvidsson i Störe Tannåker and Miss Britte Bengtsdotter from Annerstad parish ? in Tannåker.
Not sure what is written in the ?. One question about this marriage - I was expecting Per Arvidsson to be designated as a widower but I don't see that. Am I missing something? Is it sometimes left off the record?

In a listing of regemental commanders for the Kungl. Jönköping regemente I found a listing for: 1739–1747: P Silfversparre (I think this may be the one you are referring to although I am assuming the P stands for Per. I don't really know if 1747 is the year of death or the last year he was a commanding officer). There was no more information given. There is Per Silfversparre who died in 1750 in Nåshult, Jönköping but doubt that is the same person as he was a General Major. It looks like there were a lot military Silfversparres. As far as I can tell the Jönköpings regemente was an infantry regiment headquartered in Jönköping county (but I don't know which parish) and I am far from an expert in this area of research. Since my purpose is to find Christian and Peter Anströmer's whereabouts in 1740, at the time of the distribution of Jöran Jonsson's estate, I was thinking that if I could find where Per Silfversparre was, I might find them also. My search for the name Anströme has turned up nothing so far but there seem to be quite a few Silfversparres. Maybe I should be looking at military records? Well, that's for tomorrow. I'd also like to get back to Britta Bengtsdotter, also a very interesting discovery! Thanks again for all your help! Vicki

Thank you for all of this information!
Regarding the translation, I also noticed the Kierstin/Karin mixup but we know that Karin was the only daughter and that she married Nils Nilsson. The brothers Pehr (now called Peter) and Christian Jöransson are now going by the surname Anströmer, serving in the military under the same colonel? It doesn't say where they are located though. I will check the records again for their new name. I didn't find anything in the Centrala Soldatregistret for the name Anströmer. There is a Per SILFVERSPARRE but I have no idea if this could be the same person mentioned or not:
Antagen: 1708
Avsked: 1728

Did you see what Lars-Ola sent? Just what we needed! Will you help translate it? I'm afraid the translator didn't work very well on this.
Thank you for sending that map link! I can easily see why it would be one of your favorites! The church is surrounded by a peaceful landscape, very beautiful. Do I see old tombstones? How old is the church?

Hi again, I was confused thinking Tannåcker was in Jönköping when I couldn't find it on the Kronoberg map I have. Oh, well, a minor setback. It is amazing how quickly you are able to piece together relationships that tie these families together! I love that you found that Kierstin's husband Per Larsson was a guardian for one of her brother Per Persson's sons! This is so interesting - I would never have figured it out (even after numerous attempts at taking a fresh look - every time I ended up at a dead end again). There is so much information here, it will take while to find it all and document it. Great fun. Thanks so much for your help with this! Vicki

Yes, I think you are correct! Thank you so much for this! I have started looking at Tanåcker but am totally unfamiliar with this parish. I found it in Jönköping, so am currently looking for information there, starting with the information you gave me earlier. How did you find the connection to Tanåcker in the first place? I obviously didn't have the correct birth record for Kiersten (and I did wonder about it). I saw the 2 different birth years on the household records too, but decided it must be 1731 when I found her death record in 1789, age 58. The Kiersten you found was also born in 1731, so that's good! It's slow going for me at best! But even slower when I am unfamiliar.... but, never fear, I will keep at it! Thank you again! Vicki

Hi again Yvonne, Yvonne, Since you know a lot about Annerstad, particularly Brogård and Marsjö, I wonder if you would take a look at this person (Kierstin Pehrsdotter) and see if anything sounds familiar to you as possibly being connected to your ancestry. 😊 This is what I know about her: Kierstin Pehrsdotter b. 7 Dec 1731 Brogård, Annerstad (Annerstad-G-CI-1-1708-1750-Image-83-Page-161) ( https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30808?image=83) m. Per Larsson 2 Jul 1754 Marsjö, Annerstad (Annerstad (G) CI:2 (1751-1814) Image: 151 Page: 295) ( https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30809?image=151) d.

(Annerstad-G-AI-1-1718-1723-Image-124-Page-235) ( https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18248?image=124) I would like to go back further on her line if possible.

Kierstin Pehrsdotter and Per Larsson are listed in the household records at Marsjö Storgård from 1760-1788. There is an estate inventory (which I had much help with on this forum back in Mid-March): (Sunnerbo-häradsrätt-G-FII-10-1790-1791-Image-216-Page-337) The estate inventory lists a brother to Per Larsson: Anders Larsson b. 30 Jul 1731 Miäla, Torpa (Torpa-G-C-1-1690-1747-Image-87-Page-169) ( https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30192?image=87) This family has been another really tough one to break through on earlier than 1725.

Yvonne, I've been working on the estate inventory for Lars Jöransson taken on 8 November 1762 after his death in Abbeshult and Vrå parish. It is quite confusing. Was there another inventory taken in July 1763? The names are familiar. The widow Anna Perdotter is mentioned several times - was she represented at the inventory by her 21 year old son, Jöran Larsson? I am not sure what the role of Samuel Persson was - did he take the inventory? I think that the 14 year old son Lars Larsson was represented by his uncle, his father's brother Johan Jöransson in Marsjö. Jon Jöransson (another uncle (father's brother) in Annerstad Byagard is mentioned - did he also represent the son Lars Larsson and/or the widow Anna Persdotter in some way? In July 1763 it looks like the danneman Sven Johansson in Bjerseryd represented the son Joran Larsson. As you mentioned this is quite an extensive inventory. As usual i have trouble with the handwriting, only recognizing some of the words. Can you tell me if I have the gist of it? The relationships match what I have documented. I probably don't need every detail. Thanks again for your help, Vicki

Thank you SO MUCH for that clarification!! So Anna Ericsdotter also had a brother name Jöran (the one who was buried same time as their mother, Kirstin Håkansdotter) But, the Jöran and Daniel you wrote of, were the brothers of Kirstin Håkansdotter.

« skrivet: 2020-11-03, 14:23 »
Yvonne,
As I was going through the information you gave me, I made the following notes/questions:
1. Just something I noticed that can mislead a researcher: the wrong Christian is listed in the 1750 household records in Annerstad. The Christian born in 1739 (child of first wife) died in 9 Aug 1742 at age 3 yrs, 3 mos, 6 days. I think it is Christian born 1745 to second wife who should be listed.
2. I only found death records for 8 children - who do you think are the other 2 chidren who died young?
Christian died Aug 1742
Gunnil died Oct 1742
Anna died Sept 1743
Karin died Nov 1744
Kirstin died Feb 1750
Kirstin died May 1751
Kirstin died Aug 1752
Johan died Aug 1754
3. Observation: If I read the cause of death correctly,the cause of death for so many young children is apparently recorded as unknown.
4. A nagging question about Erik Jöransson’s birth place: the preceding children (Christian and Lars) and the child born immediately after him (Karin) were all born at Annerstad Norrgåd but Erik was born at Annerstad Brogård – any insight on that? Is a birth recorded where a child was actually born or recorded where the parents lived?
5. So far, no evidence of Pehr, Christian or Erik in the death records in Annerstad. I also checked the marriage records between 1732-1750 in Annerstad and surrounding parishes (Torpa, Angelstad, Odensjö, Vrå and Kånna) but found none.
6. Jöran Jonsson’s son Johan (his eldest child) also had children named Erik b. 1731 and Christian b. 1743/d. 1744. I wondered, since Johan had a son named Jöran b. 1740 the same year as his father died (no doubt named for his father) that maybe Erik and Christian were named after his brothers Erik and Christian who might have died around those years (but could find no evidence of that). Erik might also have been named after his mother’s father – did he die around then (I don’t know her father’s patronymic name or where he was from). One other thing, it seems strange that the first son would be named after his mother’s father (Erik) rather than the father’s father (Jöran) unless her father or his brother had died.
7. I found the a death record for Lars Larsson in Hästhult dated 22 Jan 1831 (age 68) and the widow Malin Ericsdotter's death record in Hästhult dated 2 Mar 1835 (age 76).
8. Will you confirm my understanding of Lars Larsson’s wife Malin Ericsdotter’s parentage in Annerstad Brogård to ensure that I document this correctly? My understanding is that:
Malin’s mother is Estred Persdotter. Estred Persdotter’s parents are Per Svensson and Gunnil Erlandsdotter in Öjarp, Annerstad.
Malin’s father is Erick Håkansson, the son of Håkan Ericsson whose father is Eric Jöransson from Annerstad Brogård, thus making Eric Jöransson the grandfather of Erick Håkansson from Annerstad Brogård)? Since so many names and places are the same, can you clarify the birth years for Håkan Ericsson and Eric Jöransson in order to avoid the possibility of duplicating any names in my tree?
Once I have a solid understanding of and have documented the information you have given me, I will look at the estate inventory (which I purposely have saved for last!) Such fun! As always I appreciate your insight and ongoing help!
Thanks again,
Vicki

Thank you so much for this! I still have 4 more of Jon's childrens' birth records to find and then I want to go through all the death records after that. I couldn't find the birth records for the 3 Kirstins but was able to find all the death records for them. I also had to get the children with the correct mothers. Påfwelsdotter! I don't think I would have figured that one out! The 1784-1805 Byagård, Annerstad household record lists only a widow Margareta (Jon's widow?) so it looks like Jon must have died before 1784 - I'll check that out. Looks like I've got more to do with Lars too! This is great!! I can't thank you enough! I hope, that once I've gone through all of this information, that the estate inventory will really prove all these relationships that have been established. I can't thank you enough! Vicki

Wow! What a find and thank very much for sending it! You had estimated that he was married before 1705 so that is perfect and also fits in with the birth of their first child, Johan, who was born in 1702 (at least per the 1750 Marsjö, Annerstad household records). The language used in the marriage confirmation is very interesting. What it usual to have a confirmation like that? I would have had no idea what that was even if I found it. Thanks again, Vicki

Thank you very much! As you can see, I'm still putting this together. (Whatever I find I include in my documentation.) I started first on Jon's family but couldn't find any of the birth records in Odensjö or Annerstad nor have I found his marriage record(s). His family is living in Annerstad by 1750 according to the household exam records. After I finish searching for the rest of Lars' children (it looks like his brother Jon is a witness for his first son Jöran' baptism), then I'll reread the information you sent about Jon's Kirstins and his two marriages and try to figure out why I can't seem to find anything. Any idea where Pehr and Christian are? I haven't found anything yet, but haven't yet started on them. Thanks again for your help! Vicki

Thanks a lot for your response.
I will continue, as I always have done, to document all family information I find as it helps me to "prove" my research. It is not my intent, however, to document everything about everyone I find.
Where there are no more records available and when I feel I've reached the end of a line, I still want to see what I can piece together with some degree of likelihood, noting that further research is required (in this way keeping my research from being lost). But this applies only to the end of the line as I will not build on it further until I've proven that piece of information. That is really all I can do since I know now that it is highly unlikely I will be reading the court records, unfortunately. They are a gold mine of helpful and interesting information, from what I have seen so far.
I'll continue to ask questions and will continue to appreciate the help I get from you and others! You all know so much and I appreciate your sharing your knowledge!
Thanks again,
Vicki

Thank you so much. Yesterday, I finished documenting what I have previously found and have just begun my search for any daughters named Kirstin, born after 1748, into the families of her siblings. I started with Jon because I knew where he was living, but I had not yet gotten to the point of locating all of his children. I soon realized that I wasn't really sure how to go forward here. I am struggling with how to logically continue this part of my research. Do I first locate where all Kirstin's siblings are living by looking through the baptismal witnesses (starting with Kirstin's own children's birth records) and also looking for their marriage records to try to locate them. Then once I know where they are, try to locate all of their children through the birth records and any household records that are available? Then, repeat the steps until I've (hopefully) found them all. Am I missing steps? I appreciate your help and so any advice or ideas on how you approach your continued research would be really great. It is slow going for me, but I thoroughly enjoy the work as long as I can move forward, however slowly. I guess I'm still in the "formulating a plan" phase. Thanks again for all of your ongoing help, Vicki

With every iteration through my tree, I have learned more so I try again to expand my research. Thanks again! Vicki

Yvonne, Yesterday I continued perusing the Annerstad death records (through 1763) in search of a possible death record for Jöran Jonsson’s widow Kirstin ?. I found the following 2 possibilities: • 8 January 1748 Widow Kirstin Johnsdotter in Byagård, buried 17 January 1748, age 68 (birth year 1680) Annerstad (G) CI:1 (1708-1750) Image: 74 Page: 143 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30808?image=74This is a very good possibility because of the spelling of Johnsdotter. She would still be young enough to be the mother of her youngest child, Karin, born in 1724. I also don’t find any indication that she is still alive after 1750. Her son John Jöransson is listed at Byagård in the 1750 household records (also spelled John vs Jon) – I think it is possible may have lived with his family after the death of her husband. Annerstad-G-AI-2-1750-1772-Image-127-Page-237 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18249?image=127• 16 October(?) 1760 Widow Kirstin Jönsdotter in Brogård, buried 19th, age 90 (birth year 1670) Annerstad-G-CI-2-1751-1814-Image-180-Page-353 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30809?image=180 This is probably not her as she would likely be too old to be the mother of the Karin, born in 1724. (G) CI:2 (1751-1814) Image: 180 Page: 353 However, in regard to the first death record (1748), I was concerned that since I had previously mistaken the 1713 marriage record of Sven Jonsson and Kirstin Jönsdotter for the marriage record of Jöran Jonsson and Kirstin ? that this Kirstin Johnsdotter might be the widow of Sven Jonsson and not the widow of Jöran Jonsson. Therefore I went to the household records for 1750 and found that both Sven and Kirstin were still living at that time. Annerstad-G-AI-2-1750-1772-Image-128-Page-239 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18249?image=128Going further, I checked the 1760-1766 household records for them and found they both died during that timeframe. Kirstin in 1760/1761 and Sven in 1763. She died before he did. Annerstad-G-AI-2-1750-1772-Image-200-Page-383 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v18249?image=200dAnd also found the death records to back this up: 19 November 1760 wife Kirstin Jönsdotter in Brogård….., age 67 (birth year 1693) Annerstad-G-CI-2-1751-1814-Image-180-Page-353 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30809?image=1804 August 1763 widower Sven Jonsson in Annerstad Brogård,,,,age 77 (birth year 1686) Annerstad-G-CI-2-1751-1814-Image-183-Page-359 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30809?image=183 The estimated birth years closely align with the birth years listed on the 1750 household record for Sven Jonsson and Kirstin Jönsdotter. This rules out the possibility of the 1748 death record belonging to that Kirstin Jönsdotter. I did not find any other death records for a widow Kirstin that I thought could fit. My conclusion is that the 1748 death record listed above could be the right death record for the wife of Jöran Jonsson. What are your thoughts? Your insight would be much appreciated. Thanks very much, Vicki

Thank you! I did not find a "John" on your list of similar/interchangeable names and hadn't seen it before. However, as I am going through the death records I've noticed a few more instances of that spelling. Since I have nothing (yet) to prove or disprove this information, I appreciate the second opinion prior to adding to my information, although it seemed likely.
Thanks again,
Vicki

I believe I've found the death record for Jöran Johnson of Annerstad Norrgård - the spelling of Jonsson is different from what I've seen before - looks like Johnson. It is the first death record for 1740 dated 12 February. His age at time of death is 62 years which would seem likely in 1740. That would put his birth year at 1678 which would tie in with estimated marriage year and the birth of the children. Annerstad (G) CI:1 (1708-1750) Image: 66 Page: 127 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30808?image=66Maybe you already have this? Thanks! Vicki

Thank you - that worked! It is very interesting to see these photos. I hadn't found them previously but do not recognize any of the names listed. What I know is that my g grandfather's two surviving brothers Nils Peter Pehrsson and Jacob Pehrsson were still in Marsjö in 1880 when their father died (per the estate inventory) and that Jacob's youngest child was born in Marsjö in 1888. I would need to do more research to find out what happened to them after that.

My grandfather attended business college in Austin and had a grocery store in Albert Lea for a few years but all his children moved to the cities also, away from the farm.

Yes, that may have helped! But, you obviously have kept your skills current. That is really wonderful. My grandfather was August Wilhelm Carlsson, b. 9 July 1877 in Marsjö Norrgård, Annerstad parish. His father was Carl Johan Pehrsson, b. 20 December 1837 in Perstorp, Annerstad parish. His mother was Johanna Larsdotter, b. 13 December 1836 in Össjöa, Torpa parrish. There were 6 children including my grandfather: - Carolina Carlsdotter, b. 1 March 1864 in Perstorp, Annerstad
Lars Peter, b. 22 Jan 1867 in Marsjo Norrgard, Annerstad
Johan Alfred, b. 5 Jan 1872 in Marsjo Norrgard, Annerstad
Salomon Wilhelm, b. 26 May 1875, in Marsjo Norrgard, Annerstad, died same year of whooping cough
August Wilhelm - my grandfather
Alma Charlotta, b. 21 April 1880, Marsjo Norrgard, Annerstad
The entire family emigrated to the US in 3 separate groups over a period of about 5 years beginning in about 1884 - my grandfather came with his parents and younger sister, Alma, in 1888 in the last group. They came to Minnesota to farm. My g grandmother's sister and brother-in-law had come earlier and sent tickets back to Sweden for them to come. When the older boys repaid the cost of their tickets, the next group came, etc. I find it all very interesting. It sounds like you also have Annerstad connections. Do you still have connections there? Vicki

Yvonne, Thank you very much for the translation for Johan Jöransson's death record and also for the helpful pronunciation information! Now that I'm more familiar with the spellings, I'll work on my pronunciation. Your examples are good ones. Your English is excellent. Where did you learn to speak English? Today I realized that I have 2 Johan Jöranssons in my database along with related people so I will have to sort that out before going further. The good thing is that all the information matches. Usually my software prompts me to check whether one person is the same as another, for some reason this didn't get caught. It may be because they were removed from my tree earlier when I couldn't prove a direct connection. I left the information in my database but detached from my family tree. Thanks again for your ongoing help! Vicki

Yvonne, Thanks again for this information. I was able to find all the records you referenced because I knew I would find them once you told me they were there! I know I never would have found the death record for Johan Jöransson in Marsjö Storegård. The handwriting was very difficult. Can you tell what the cause of death was for him? And, now I realize why I decided not to include Erik as one of the children of Jöran and Kirsten - it was because the birth record for Erik only listed Jöran's name (without his last name). There are so many Jörans listed for that time period that I wasn't sure - however, I realize now that the birthplace of Annerstad Brogård should have given me a big clue. Again, I really do appreciate all of your help - it keeps me motivated because I feel I am putting together a viable family history, not just a bunch of stuff I thinks fits. Maybe I'll even get better at reading/using all the characters in your alphabet! One can hope! Vicki

I found a 1713 marriage record for Jöran Jonsson and Kirstin Jönsdotter, which gives very little information about them (here we go again with the Jon and Jön) I believe is says (please confirm or correct): 1713 The bachelor Jöran Jonsson from Öjarp married the maiden Kirstin Jönsdotter. Annerstad-G-CI-1-1708-1750-Image-34-Page-63 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v30808?image=34This marriage record does not indicate that either was married previously - unless I have the wrong marriage record.

Can anyone help with the attached household exam record for 1718-1723? I believe it is for my ancestor Jöran Jonsson and family, parents of daughter Karin Jöransdotter who was born in 1724 (just after this record ends). The household record beginning with her birth year is not available. I'm trying to figure out whether all the people listed on the left-side are part of that same family or not. Two of the names are crossed out - maybe they moved somewhere else and were unrelated? Might the last 4 names be their children? It looks like the first 2 are designated as sons (Jon and Pehr) but the last 2 names (Christian and Lars) are not designated as such (both boys).

Yvonne and Lars-Ola,
Wow - what a lot of great information (which I'm still working on)! I have a question about the exchange between the two of you on 2020-09-10 in regard to the Jöns in Våkon mentioned in the 1692 and 1695 court records.
I'm confused here about who really is the Jöns Hansson in Våkon. It seems, if I understand correctly, that the 1692 will states he is a son-in-law of Jöns Ebbesson, but the 1695 court case indicates he is a grandson of Jöns Ebbesson, his daughter's son. If Jöns Hansson is a son-in-law of Jöns Ebbesson, who was he married to?
Your clarification on this point would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
Vicki

Lars-Ola,
Your work is important and fascinating and thank you so much for sharing it with me. You have taken on a very large task and I'm sure many, like me, will appreciate it immensely!
Thank you also to Yvonne, who took "the liberty of asking a question under the Vrå heading in this forum." I would have not been able to connect with you on my own.
All your efforts are much appreciated,
Vicki

Yvonne,
Thank you very much for the further explanation, information and links!
I will check it all out! Fascinating!
Just curious, it looks like Lars-Ola is writing a book. Do you know what his book will cover? Has he written before? I don't know if he is continuing to follow this topic, but if so, maybe he will answer my question.
Thanks again for all you have done to help me with my research. I really appreciate it!

Yvonne, Thanks so much reviewing my very rough translation (a combination of translation software and dictionaries)! Dollars! Yes, that was the translator! I know better! I wasn't quite sure how to say the "tax books" or "local court sessions" so I have fixed those instances. Also, I was not able to find any information on Älvsborgs lösens so your explanation was really interesting! The money was basically used to buy back their castle? The use of unmarried man vs. farmhand made more sense in the context of the entire sentence since it says that he was unmarried but was listed the following year with a wife. The stag and hen parties! I might have realized that is what it meant but I wasn't able to find it. And, corset! I would have never figured that out! I have a few additional questions: 1) "Nils ingick i en sexmanna ed 1640 , då den frikände Gudmund i Hjortseryd" - is this saying that Nils, as a member of a group of six men who acquitted....? or does it mean he was part of a jury at a court session? 2) "Vid ???tinget 1723 var Trotte instämd av länsmannen Petter Hultman, anklagad för slagsmål en söndag i Vrå gästgivaregård. Enligt vittnet Jöns Johansson i Vrå, hade gästgivaren Hammar tagit tag i Trotte och tumult uppstått. Trotte fick böta två gånger tre marker silvermynt." I'm confused on this one - does it mean that the sheriff Petter H sued Trotte? and that is why Trotte was fined? What does "två gånger tre marker silvermynt" - that he was fined twice or that he was fined 2 x an amount? 3) "Besökaren från Lund i Skåhne, Henning Erlandzson, klagade till sin swåger Jöns Hanßon i Wåköön om något arff och hemgift, på sin hustrus Gunnil Jönsdotters wegnar, efter dess fader Jöns Ebbaßon i Skogaryd, påståendes att han det samma måtte mechtig blifwa" - Henning is saying that he should have control over his wife's inheritance?? Thank you again for all of this! It really broadens my understanding of the time and place! Vicki

Yvonne,
Thank you so much for this!
I'm glad you mentioned the order of the children Hans, Gumme and Jöns, because I wondered about that. As I reviewed your information, it started to become more clear to me which Jöns was which in the tax record timeline.
I was a bit nervous you might view my response as being overly simplistic. It actually took much thought and review to get to that point. The biggest mistake I made was to not ask more questions upfront. This would have prevented me from making some incorrect assumptions which totally derailed my thinking.
It is very important to me to understand and, thereby, be able to defend my research. I know that I will not know everything I want to know, but I want to learn as much as I can.
Again, I want to thank you for your help! It is extremely fascinating! I've learned so much and hope I haven't discouraged you from helping me! The families that I'm working on now are the ones that I had set aside earlier because they were too difficult for my knowledge level at the time and hoped that I would, having learned more, be able to continue researching these families later with more success. This family has been particularly difficult because of all the Jöns and Gummes.
Thank you again,
Vicki

Yvonne, This is my interpretation after further review. Jöns Ebbasson had 2 daughters: One Jönsdotter married Jöns Hansson The other Jönsdotter (Gunnil) married the customs official. Jöns Hansson and the first Jönsdotter (listed above) had 3 sons: Jöns (who had received inheritance in Annerstad from his mother's father) Hans (who married and moved to Skogaryd, Annerstad, raised a family and died there) Gudmund (my Gudmund) who eventually took over the father's farm in Våkön, married Kirstin Jönsdotter, had 3 daughters Karin, Ingebor and Kirstin. It appears that Trotte is a Jonsson, not a Jönsson, and unrelated to Gudmund as far as I can tell. I have to look into Gudmund's wife - Kirstin Jönsdotter, I don't see any connections here in any of the information. I still have some loose ends to fit in, but I'd like to see if I have this right or not before adding those pieces. Wow, the thing that makes it so difficult is the recurring name Jöns, no patronymics, and my lack of general knowledge. It is very interesting and a lot of work. Without your help and that of many others, I would be so totally lost, I would have reached a stopping point well before now. Thanks so much for all the help! If I'm still wrong, well, I guess I've reached the stopping point with this particular family. Vicki

I was confused on that last part, incorrectly assuming that one of the Jöns listed in the tax records was the son of Hans Jönsson, Jöns Jönsson. I had assumed that he lived there after inheriting property in Våkön from his grandfather: Jöns Ebbasson in Skogaryd (Annerstad) signed his will there 9th of May 1692 whereby he gave his daughter's son Jöns Jönsson in Wåkön all of his remaining property I am ultimately hoping to figure out how "my Gudmund" fits into the picture in Våkon. I have trouble sorting out which Gumme/Gudmunds are related to the family and which are unrelated. I really appreciate your help, Vicki
440
« skrivet: 2020-09-08, 00:14 »
Oh, I have a lot to learn, especially understanding how the properties divided, etc. and how the multiple families can live on the same property. I was looking at the naming and figured that, since we know that, Jon Trottesson owned property there, that Trotte Jonsson would likely be his son. And the tax records for for 1693 and 1695 show a Jöns and wife with both a Hans and a Gudmund. I thought maybe they were the sons of Jöns Jönsson (Hans named after his father's father) and Gudmund (?). But, there are so many things to consider and I just don't have enough understanding yet.
I really appreciate your help,
Vicki
441
« skrivet: 2020-09-08, 00:04 »
Maybe Hans and Gudmund are both the sons of Jöns Jönsson (son of Jöns Hansson) and Trotte Jonsson is the son of Jon Trottesson. Thanks again, Vicki

In that article about Jöns Hansson's family living at Håkön for 70 years - was there some kind of dispute over the property in 1676?
Thanks!!
Vicki

« skrivet: 2020-09-07, 23:17 »
It makes perfect sense! I had the same thought that Jöns Hansson, the father of Jöns Jönsson, would have lived at Våkön for many years prior to his son inheriting property in 1692 from his maternal grandfather, Jöns Ebbasson. The Jöns Hansson's long history there must have ended in 1699 when Joen Trottesson purchased the property - correct? 1715 and after we begin seeing mention os a Trotte Jonsson who must be his son? I'm still confused about who the father of Gudmund is - do you think his father is the Jon buried May 1 1710 in Våkön? If so, that would fit timewise well within the 70 years (probably) of the Jöns Hansson family reign. If so, how does he fit into the family? Would he be a son of Jöns Jönsson or a brother? Or have I just been looking at this too long? Thanks for all your help! Vicki

Yvonne, Previously you wrote: Sunnerbo dombok 1695
Jöns Ebbasson in Skogaryd (Annerstad) signed his will there 9th of May 1692 whereby he gave his daughter's son Jöns Jönsson in Wåkön all of his remaining property. His son in law, the customs official in Lund in Skåne county, is requesting inheritance after his father in law Jöns Ebbasson in Skogaryd on behalf of his late wife (Gunnil Jönsdotter) and her children. He is therefore requesting this from his brother in law Jöns Hansson in Wåkön. See
https://www.sunnerbo.nu/Sunnerbo-dombok-1695.s37 I looked at the attached link and this is what I think it is saying (and I may be way off here) but here goes: In 1692 Jöns Ebbasson made a will giving all his remaining property in Våkön to his grandson Jöns Jönsson, the son of his daughter with husband Jöns Hansson. In 1695, his daughter Gunnil's husband , the customs official in Lund, Skåne county, contested this will (on behalf of Gunnil who had previously died). The customs official was appealing to his brother-in-law, Jöns Hansson, in order to receive an inheritance for Gunnil's children. It looks like his case failed, the will was upheld. If any of that is correct, it seems that the Jöns Hansson was the Jöns living there from at least 1692 through 1695, probably longer (maybe up to 1699, the tax records fo 1696-1700 are missing). They had children Hans and Gudmund with them. The next available tax record is for 1701 and it looks like a different family lives there. This fits with the another case you mentioned: Joen Trottesson in Wåkön announced his purchase of 1/8 Wåkön 1699 In 1699 Joen Trottesson purchased this property. (That would be Jön, correct?) In 1701 the tax record (first available after this purchase) for Våkön, shows a Jon and wife (Jon Trottesson and wife) living there with a dr Gudmund - there is a note on this tax record that "he" is from Embo - not exactly sure who "he" is - maybe saying the Gudmund is an unrelated farmhand? Let me know if any of this is correct! Thank you so much for your ongoing help, Vicki

Thank you for your words of encouragement! It is very interesting and enjoyable work. So I will continue on my way... I'm glad you are leaning toward Jon/Trotte family being just neighbors because I have not seen any indication that they are brothers. It really gets tricky when they have similar names. It may well be that they, as you say, married into Jöns family and may be ancestors of Karin (or not). I appreciate your thoughts and hints on how to proceed. I'll keep working on this along with the other information you have given me and whatever I discover along the way. Thanks again so much for your help, Vicki

A general question on how tax classifications are determined:
Is it possible for an older son who continues living and working on a farm with his parents at, for example, age 29 or 30, to be listed as dr Gumme, instead of son Gumme and taxed as drang (farmhand) instead of son (bachelor)? Does it make a difference?
Any insight would be much appreciated!

Thank you for this. It is very interesting. You are correct that I have not done any research in these books. It may be very difficult, as you have pointed out. I see they can be accessed through Riksarkivet. I will add this to my "todo list." Sounds like it may be too difficult with my lack of knowledge of the Swedish language. But...

Does "he" refer to Gummun (Gudmund)? His father's name is Jon or Jön. Embo also has a Jon and wife living there. So I need to determine which Jon is his father I guess. I've followed Gudmund through the 1720's in Våkön. Looks like I need to pause on this line for now until I (hopefully) learn more. Or am I misunderstanding what you are telling me?

Can someone confirm or correct my interpretation of the circled names on the attached tax record for Våkön? They are hard to read.

Can anyone confirm that the headings for the third column is for daughters and fourth column is for sons? I believe that is correct but would like to confirm it because sometimes I am not sure in listing whether someone is a farmhand or son. Which columns are for pig. and drangen?

Yes, I should have figured out! I realized it once I saw the 1718 record which was easier for me to read. Please see attached.
Sorry about that.
Thank you so much for your help!

Can anyone tell me what the circled note on the attached tax record says? Is it something about being married? Riksgäldsarkiven-Riksens-ständers-kontor-Kammarkontoret-GIg-808-1719-1720-Image-2550-Page-501 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v835372?image=2550&page=499Thanks for your help! Vicki

Great! Thank you so much! I'm really glad you pointed out that Johan Nannesson is not the father of Gudmund because I have not been able to prove that part. It is a very slow process for me but a very enjoyable task. I'm happy that i have understood much of it but know that I have missed parts that I couldn't figure out so your help is very much appreciated!! I'll continue working .... Thanks again, Vicki

Yvonne, I have been working on all this information and in the process I've found another estate inventory that is interesting. You previously wrote: Johan Nannesson died 1752 75 years old born ca 1677. I think (his son?) Gudmund mentioned above married the daughter of Gumme, Ingeborg, sister of your Karin. Needs to be checked. (referring to your comment: 17251004 Gudmund born, father Johan Össja Torpa sn - where does he fit in?) I found the 24 Feb 1751 marriage record in Össjöhult for Gudmund Johannesson and Ingebor Gudmundsdotter. Vrå-G-C-1-1701-1823-Image-9-Page-11 Also their 3 children born in Össjöhult: Johannes b. 1752 Vrå-G-C-1-1701-1823-Image-73-Page-137 Gudmund b. 1754 Vrå-G-C-1-1701-1823-Image-76-Page-143 Carl 1759 b. 1759 Vrå-G-C-1-1701-1823-Image-83-Page-155 Gudmund Johannesson died 13 June 1762, age 37 in Össjöhult, Vrå. The estate inventory was done in Oct 1762. There are lots of names, and I wonder if you would take a look at my "very rough" translation and let me know if I'm on the right track. I know I am not getting all of it. This is from the first page of the estate inventory Sunnerbo-häradsrätt-G-FII-2-1759-1764-Image-85-Page-131 Year 1762 18 October - an estate inventory was conducted after the death of danneman Gudmund Johansson in Össjöhult, Vrå parish. His widow Ingebor Gudmundsdotter in Össjöhult is being represented by her mother's brother Håkan Jönsson in Mäste. His son Johannes, 12 years old, is represented by dannemann Sven Johannesson. maybe his uncle - dad's brother? His son Gudmund, 8 years old, is represented by danneman Nils Pårsson in Össjöa, Torpa parish. His son Carl, 3 1/2 years old, is represented by dannemann Johannes Gudmundsson in ? and Veinge parish in Halland. I'm going to work on the last page next where there are more names and relationships I think. Any help you can give would be much appreciated. Thank you for the ongoing help with this, Vicki

Yvonne, Wow! - You've really kept me busy. I am continuing to research and document everything you sent. So far I am comfortable with my understanding of the most all of the relationships, except for a few people I have "leftover." But, I'm hoping as I work through all of the people, maybe I'll find a place for everyone to fit! Thanks again for your help, Vicki

Thank you for all of this information! I know that the birth years listed on household records are often inaccurate, but I've been pretty fortunate overall in that most have been within a year or two. Ingeborg Pehrsdotter really died young - only 30 years old in actuality.
Eventually there is a point where it is not possible (sigh) to definitively prove further relationships, but it is amazing how much you can piece together using all available records this far back.
Today I will continue working on Karin Gudmundsdotter's family! Before I move on to another family, I am going to take a further look at Pehr Jönsson and focus more in Össjöa in Torpa. I may have more questions!
Thanks again for all your help!

Thank you again for all of the information! I believe you are correct that Ingierd Persdotter is not the child of Pehr Jönsson and Karin Gudmundsdotter. I have deleted this child from that family. Ingebor Pehrsdotter and Lars Bergesson's first daughter named Kierstin died 16 Apr 1775 of Bröstsjuka (chest sickness) at Össjöa, Torpa, age 6 yrs. Torpa (G) C:3 (1773-1860) Image: 209 Page: 407 1780 death record for Lars Bergesson's first wife Ingeborg Pehrsdotter shows she died of Krafta (cancer), correct? Also, her age at time of death is listed as 37 years old, which I would have thought would be 30 years since she was born in 1750. Torpa-G-C-3-1773-1860-Image-214-Page-417 On the 1784-1800 Torpa household record for Lars Bergesson and second wife Ingiård Håkansdotter listed 2 daughters: Karin b. 1773 and Kiersten b. 1779 - those would both have been Ingeborg Pehrsdotter's children (1st wife) and the 1779 date is inaccurate as it should be 1777. Torpa (G) AI:2 (1784-1800) Image: 99 Page: 183 Also, regarding Pehr Jönsson - I think you are right, that he was born somewhere other than Hjortseryd, Vrå - I'm still thinking is is from Torpa, maybe Össjöa. What do you think? Maybe it will be impossible to discover for certain since he doesn't seem to have come from Hjortseryd, Vrå and the birth records in the range of his supposed birth year are missing in the Torpa birth records - I have checked and rechecked the available birth records around that time. I'm currently working on the information you sent regarding Karin Gudmundsdotter, which I hadn't start on yet and so is all new. The places and names are very unfamiliar sounding at this point so I am being very careful going through it all. Again, I really appreciate all the help you are giving me with this! I'll continue tomorrow... Vicki Cihla

Yes, I totally agree with you on those comments. I left Ingierd on there for further investigation and use in checking name patterns, knowing it was too soon, but wasn't yet sure what was good info or not. And I bet you are correct about the daughter Ingeborg b. 1750 which i accidentally omitted when sending my response in haste. I just checked the household records for Össjöa and Lars Lars Börjesson is married to Ingierd Håkånsson (not sure of using the correct letters on this name)- maybe this is a second wife? It is the earliest household record. They have a daughter Karin b. 1773. and a daughter Kiersten b. 1779. Torpa (G) AI:2 (1784-1800) Image: 99 Page: 183 https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v19647?image=99I also tried a quick search in Vrå for a marriage record for Ingeborg and Lars but didn't see it there but I need to recheck and also check Torpa. I have to do a couple errands this morning and I will be back.... Thanks so much for all your doing to help me! It is fascinating. Wish I could keep up with you!! I feel so slow at researching compared to you so I apologize if my responses are slow. Thanks again, Vicki Cihla

Yes, I've looked at the witnesses on each child's birth record, nothing really stood out but I will take another look. I've also been looking at other possibilities for children born to a Jöns. There are so many Jöns! Not always sure how to know which to follow so it is a slow process! It is very interesting work, but I want it to be accurate! I'm open to any suggestions!
Your help and input is very much appreciated!

I should add that there is an estate inventory for Karin Gudmundsdotter in 1795 that mentions Carl Pehrsson in Balkeryd, Torpa. So I feel that part is pretty solid. But, I don't have any idea for certain where Pehr Jönsson was born - could be Vrå or Torpa. If it is Torpa, those birth records are missing from the listings, and I couldn't find on in Vrå. I looked at the 1727 tax records for Hjortseryd for Jöns when I thought I might find his son with him. That is where I started looking - and found a Jöns and son Pehr. Might not even be the right people....

So, again, any help would be very much appreciated, Vicki Cihla

I just was sending that same link when you sent it to me! How interesting!
i have very little information to go on here and I am inclined to agree with you. Basically, this is how I got there, starting with his son Pehr:
Pehr Jönsson b. 1708 (either Vrå or Torpa) married Karin Gudmundsdotter b. 1716. They are listed on the 1784-1788 household record at Össjöa Backstugan, Torpa. This is where I got their birth years.
All of their children were born in Össjöa, Torpa: Jöns b. 1738, Carl b. 1740, Gummund b. 1743, and Ingierd b. 1744.
I could not find a marriage record in Torpa so I checked surrounding parishes and found a 1736 marriage record in Vrå for a Pehr Jönsson and Karin Gudmundsdotter - I believe this is the correct marriage record for them.
But, this is where it gets confusing - the Vrå marriage record says that Pehr is from Hjortseryd and Karin is from Ösjöhult. Since I don't have either birth record I don't know if they is where they were born.
There is also a 1761 tax record in Össjöa, Torpa listing Pehr and son Carl (Carl appears on many of the tax records).
I have also have Pehr Jönsson's death record in 1790 in Össjöa, Torpa and his wife Karin Gudmundsdotter death record in 1794 in Balkeryd (this is where their son Carl and family where living).
So that is what I know. If you see any errors in my thinking, please let me know!
Any direction you can provide would really be appreciated!
Thanks for your help,

I'm sorry - If he is there, I cannot find Jöns Larsson Bolmström in the GMR for Kronobergs regemente for either Södra Sunnerbo or Norra Sunnerbo for 1721 or 1728.
He must be there so I'm not sure why I cannot find him.
Any further help would be greatly appreciated,
Vicki Cihla

« skrivet: 2020-08-30, 14:45 »
Thank you very much - yes, Sunnerbo is usually where I've found them and didn't realize that is where I should be looking for this man. I'm far from an expert in military knowledge! But, I'm slowly learning. Thanks a lot for this! Vicki Cihla

« skrivet: 2020-08-30, 03:24 »
On AD, I'm trying to access the GMRs for 1721-1728 for Kronobergs regemente , Ljungby Kompani -
Kronobergs regemente 1673-1907: 5. kompaniet (Ljungby) - but I keep getting 1840-1920 records.
When I try to enter using the other AD listings, when I go into the year 1721, there is no option for Ljungby kompani. So I'm confused. Not sure how to access these records.
Maybe I should be using Riksarkivet? Will you refresh my memory on how to access the 1721-1728 records for:
Antagen: 1721 Avsked: 1728.
Aktnummer: KR-05-0601-1721 Regemente: Kronobergs regemente Rote: Ljushult Kompani: LJUNGBY KOMPANI Socken: VRÅ Torpnummer: KR-05-0601
He was only in the military for about 7 years and the only years listed were 1721 and 1728 so the information may be very limited, but I'd like to see what I can find.
Thanks for your help!

Ok, that makes sense. I didn't realize that he was soldier. Now, if I only knew his name. In my next post, he is not there, just his son is. And in 1729, neither he nor his son is listed there. I'll start going the other direction in the tax records and see if I can learn his name! Thanks for your help! Vicki Cihla

This attached tax record follows the 1727 tax record from my previous post. On the 1727 record Jöns is listed with his son Pehr. On the 1728 record, Jöns is not listed but only his son Pehr Jönsson with a note (highlighted). Can anyone tell me what the highlighted word is? Is Pehr paying any tax? Pehr would be age 20 and is unmarried.
