Nyeds Bergslag: Which Parishes?

[Kevin Casey]

A marriage record from Fryksände, Dec 1799 https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0037203_00088), shows the marriage of Olof Blomström and Anna Olsdotter, she from "Nyeds Bergslag."

A Fryksände HFL for this couple gives her birth year as 1764. And while I have found an Anna Olsdotter in Nyed parish in 1764 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0038561_00024), my question is whether Nyed parish is the only parish that might be included in the location "Nyeds Bergslag"?

Thank you,
Kevin

I'm sorry I can't answear your question, but I think she was born in 1774 rather than 1764. Take a look here:

If you find a good candidate born in 1774 we can probably prove in one way or another if she's the right person.

Very interesting, Kalle! Thank you.

The HFL I was looking at is here: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0037171_00285

You can see Blomström and Anna below their son Olof and his daughter Maria (my MMFFM).

Unfortunately, I can only find one Ann Olsdotter in Nyed from 1773 to 1775, born in March 1775: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0038561_00069

so I will need to keep looking!

Thank you again,
