Cathrina Andersdotter

[Martha Anderson]

Anders Jansson of Kyrkviken, Ljusnarsberg (29 NOV 1790 - 26 Dec 1822) is my 3rd great grandfather.

Ljusnarsberg-C-10-1787-1802-Image-55b lists his parents as Jan Jansson and Cathr Andersdr

FamilySearch Family tree gives the following information for his mother:

Cathrina Jansson (born Andersdotter)

Born: 1766, Kyrkoviken, Ljusnarsberg

I was unable to find a record of Cathrina’s birth in Kyrkviken. Some trees identify her as being born on 24 Aug 1966 in Hammar förs, but I think Silverhyttan, Ljusnarsberg may be correct. I have a death date of 5 April 1838, but I can’t find a record for that either.[/font]

I’m not sure that I’m reading the documents correctly. I’ve built a tree based on Cathrina from Silverhyttan, but will disconnect her if I haven’t interpreted them correctly.

I can't find any parish record for a Catharina Andersdotter in Kyrkoviken during the years after her birth in 1765/66.

Catharina Andersdotter in Silverhyttan can be found in Ljusnarsberg AI/7 img 70 p 61:
Father Anders Andersson born Grangärde 1734
Mother Brita Jacobsdotter born Silverhyttan, Ljusnarsberg Dec 14 1743 (her parents Jacob Thomsson and Anna Mathsdotter on the same page)

It thus seems most likely that your Catharina is the girl that was born in Silverhyttan in December 1765, not in Kyrkoviken, meaning that the information from FamilySearch is incorrect (drawn from the fact that she lived in Kyrkoviken after her marriage to Jan).

Another incorrect information from FamilySearch is this:
"Cathrina Jansson (born Andersdotter)"
