Question about parish boundaries

[Victoria Cihla]

I am curious if it is possible that in the late 1600's/early 1700's that some of the properties that were in one parish were included in the books of the other.  My question is specifically about Berga, Kronoberg and Vittaryd, Kronoberg.

I am having trouble locating people/places in the tax records for Vittaryd parish that I think should be there. For example, I'm trying to locate the soldier Sven Bengtsson Siöberg and his wife (married in 1717).  Their children, born 1718, 1720, 1723 and 1726 were all born in Torset (modern day translation), Vittaryd while he was still a soldier.  I would think that there would be a tax record for, at least, the wife during that time period.  I also don't see a Torset listed in Vittaryd, but there are several Torsets in Berga.  At this point, I feel like I'm looking in the wrong place for their tax records.  Or maybe I just  have the place name wrong?? 

Attached is a copy of the birth record of his youngest child b. 1726 so you can see his parents names and birthplace.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Torset, Ingelstad, Ljunget and Torsborg were in Berga parish until 1980.


Vittaryd, Berga and Dörarp parishes were gathered in Vittaryd vicarage until 1919 when Berga became mother parish.

This means that there were common admin for the church matters and books could be shared.
The tax records base is the 'härad'. It can have the cosequence that a parish can be devided in two tax records or gathered in the vicarage level, all for some ancient reason.


This was the very short version

Great!  Thank you!

The birth record I sent was in Vittaryd, but I think that the tax record must be in Berga.  Does sound right then, based on what you just said.  (and if not there, maybe one of the other places you mention?)

This is my first experience of this kind of situation so I appreciate your help very much!
