Stenstugu Farm Bäl, Gotland

[Colleen Heather]

Could someone assist in the location of the actual Stenstugu farm in Bäl Gotland as shown in the birth detail below of Carl Johan Dominicus Nordin provided previously by Olle Overby in a previous thread and where the father David Frans Norden and Mother Anna Margaretha Johansdotter may have been buried perhaps with a headstone? In looking at the old maps at http://historiskakartor.lantmateriet.se/arken/s/search.html there appears to be three Stenstugu farms on Gotland road 142?
 
Would there be any burial death/burial reoords for David Frans Nordin and Anna Margaretha Johansdotter that I maybe able to obtain?
 
Appreciate any assistance as we are visiting Gotland in May 2013.

As most other swedish farms, the old Stenstugu farm in Bäl parish seems to have been subdivided several times since it was first mapped in 1743. To find out exactly which part your ancestors owned in the 1860s, you would normally have to trace your ancestors back to the first subdivision, storskifte in 1807 and then trace them forwards through the records of all subsequent divisions, which can be hard work.  
 
You're in luck, though. One of Stenstugu's current farmers have already traced their family's ownership of one of the subdivisions since the mid 17th century and presents their findings on their homepage http://www.stenstugu.se, including a few pages in english. At the bottom of the page e-post provides a link to their email, and I'm sure they have all the local knowledge needed to help you out.
 
Good Luck,
Lina
