Location of Old Hallnäs Farm (Persnäs Parish)

[Michele Ley]

I am trying to find the location of an old farm, "Hallnäs Nr 5," on a modern day map.  I have used the historic maps on Lantmäteriet without success so far.  Lantmäteriet’s modern map of Hallnäs shows eleven homes whose property designation begins with the number five. How does one go about finding the "parent property" Nr 5 when there are so many subdivisions?  I would appreciate any tips or suggestions you may have on the process and what steps I can take next.  Thank you!

You'll find Hallnäs I-IX on page 2 of this historical map:

Unfortunately it is hard to find the spot on a contemporary map. There's no guarantee that present indexing (e.g. Hallnäs 5:3) has anything to do with historical property numbering.

Maybe the local heritage association knows more. Their web page (Swedish only):

Another historical map of Hallnäs:

My guess, since this map shows "Södra-wijken" (bottom left corner) and "Södviken" kan be found on contemporary maps, is that Hallnäs 5 is one of the houses in the red circle in the attached image. But local expertise/knowledge is needed to determine exactly which farm.

That's very helpful, thank you so much!
