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:

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:

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!
