Munsö AI:5 (1810-1816) p. 132

I am having difficulty finding Anna Magdalena Blom (born 1779).  It says she went to Stockholm in 1814, but I have no idea how to go about finding her there.  I'm trying to find out where she was in 1817 (my 4th great grandfather was born near Valinge, Halland in 1817, and his mother was a homeless woman named Anna M Blom).  Thanks for your time, Eli

She's not the woman you are searching for. Anna Magadalena Blom was the vicar's wife i Munsö, widowed in 1811. You won't find her as an itinerant maid in Halland. I don't know where she went in 1814, but in 1855 I found her living in Drottninghuset in Stockholm. That was a home for poor widows and daughters of higher civil servants.
