Valinge Births (1813-1860) p. 16

[Eli Pearson]

I suspect that Carl born on April 1, 1817 may be my 4th great grandfather Carl Linderholm who was born on April 1, 1817.  I think the record indicates that his mother was a homeless person, but I'm not sure.  I looked through the Husförhör for both he and his mother, but didn't have any luck.  Does anyone know how I might go about finding records of them?  Maybe there is a clue in the birth record that I didn't see?  Thank you very much, Eli

You are right aboout his mother being homeless. She is called "kringvandrande pigan", i.e. "itinerant maid". It's possible that she is recorded in another parish, but happened to be in Valinge when her child was born.

I have found Carl's mother in Träslöv HII:4 1823-1831. It's a moving certificate, originally issued in Träslöv 31 October 1825. Her name is Anna Maria Blommer, born 7 July 1787 on Varbergs Fästning. She moves to Lindberg bringing her son Carl born in Valinge 1 April 1817. On the second side there is a note made in Lindberg that they move back to Träslöv 23 October 1826.

Awesome - thanks so much for all your help Harald.  I found them in 2 places in the Träslöv household records, but now I can't read what it says in the margin.  I will post another question under Träslöv.
