[Judy Teeple]

I am inquiring about descendants of Ida Martina Olafsson, birthdate,24 Jul 1842 in Agunnayrd, Kronoberg.  She is a daughter of my grandparents, Jonas Olafsson, birthdate,25 March 1843, and Beata Erlandsdotter, birthdate 8 February 1842.  Ida Martina Olafsson did not emigrate as did her brothers and sisters, John August, Johannes Elof, Anna Gustava, and Emma Christine.

Judy,
 
Did you mean to say that Ida Martina was a daughter!!!! of your grandparents (although she was born before Jonas and only a short time after Beata) and that your grandparents were siblings? This (siblings marrying) obviously can't be what you meant. I suppose the connection is to Jonas, but their relative ages perhaps indicate a sibling relationship and that Jonas was premature, since he was born less than nine months after Ida Martina.
 
The spellings in Sweden were most likely Olofsson (or maybe Olufsson)for Jonas and Olofsdotter (or maybe Olufsdotter) for Ida Martina. I think the spelling Olaf is more a Norwegian spelling, although of course I'm not an expert on Swedish names.
 
I don't see any Ida Martina born anywhere in Sweden in 1842 on the 1890 Swedish Census CD. I can't find her in the 1842 birth records for Aggunnaryd on the Genline site, although I might have missed her since the records are hard to read because of bleedthrough from the front and back of each page.
 
I thought I'd check the 1890 Swedish Census again to try to find a couple with the names you mentioned and a daughter named Ida Martina. I see this family (although the father was Johan, not Jonas, but the daughter was absolutely not born in 1842 or in any years close to that. She was, however, born in Agunnaryd. You had mentioned an Anna Gustava and I see one. Perhaps this is the family, although there is a big difference between being born in 1842 and being born in 1879.

On the 1900 Swedish Census CD, I see an Ida Martina Brolin (obviously the same one found in 1890) working as a piga (maid)for another family.

I don't see Anna Gustava in that census. She emigrated in 1891, according to the Emibas CD.

I don't know if this is the correct family since the information is so very far off what you posted, but I listed it, just in case.
 
I looked at the CD Swedish Death Index 1947-2003. I see an interesting Ida Martina born 1879 in Agunnaryd on the same month and day you listed. Her maiden name was Brolin.

I made an error in my last post. The parents were NOT on Emibas and I have no idea if they emigrated, although I doubt it at their age. The record I listed for them came from the 1900 Swedish Census CD. (I have too many things open at one time on my computer.)
 
I forgot to post the siblings' records from Emibas.

Here are some more Brolin hits from the same part of Agunnaryd, as found on Emibas. Given names match the ones you listed. Do their birthdates match?

I found the family on Genline, a fee-based site. Birthdates of the parents match the ones you provided, so this seems to be your family.
 
http://www.genline.com
 
You can see the record if you look at this page on Genline. It is a parish record called the husförhörslängd (= HFL = clerical survey record = household examination record.) This one covers 1882-1890.

I hope this helps. I did not mention every comment, etc. on this record due to lack of time and it is always best to check records ourselves even if someone else tells you what is on them.
