Sara Larsdotter

[Ken Johnson]

Hej,
 
Looking to find more information on Sara Larsdotter born Sept 4, 1780, died 1862.
 
I am trying to go as far back as possible on this line since it is my genetic maternal haplogroup mtdna mother's line.
 
So I am going to pursue Mother's mother's mother, etc. until I can't go any further.
 
So whatever help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
 
I made to Stockholm last May and enjoyed it very much. We (and everyone in the family) now have a Tomte(Tomtar) in our/their houses. I got them at a place in Gamla Stan.
 
Regards, Tack!

Hej,
 
I think you have to check this one.  
 
There is one Sara in church records for Döderhult, Kalmar län, born Sept 4, 1780, in Humlekärrshult, Döderhult.
 
Her parents:
 
Bonden (farmer/peasant) Lars Larsson and his wife Lena Svensdotter
 
See enclosed copies from www.arkivdigital.se:
 
Födelsebok 1739-1784
Döderhult, C:3, page 659

 
Husförhörslängd 1766-1769
Döderhult A I:1. page 55
 
 
Good Luck!
Esbjörn

Esbjörn,
 
Wow! How do you read that??? I can get some of it but very little a name here and there and a date or number. I guess it helps to speak Svenska.
 
Thanks so much for your help, can you make out the siblings names here?
 
Tack

Hello Ken,
 
Maybe these cuttings contain more details than you need now.
 
The first cutting is as you have probably noticed from
Födelsebok (birth records) 1739-1784
Döderhult, C:3, page 659  
Födda (born) 1780
Sara 4/9 1780
 
The second cutting is from
Husförhörslängd = clerical survey or household examination rolls. They live in Humlekärrshult and you can see a short list with the family:
Bonden Lars Larsson
wife Lena Svensdotter
and their daughters by then (1785)
Karin 29/6 1776 (this date is taken from birth record)
Sara 4/9 1780 (date from birth record)
Anna 22/3 1785 (date from birth record)
 
I think you have to verify that this Sara born 1780 is the same Sara who died 1862. Sara Larsdotter is not an unusual name and there is always a risk you mix them up.
 
This Sara got married with Lars Gabrielsson 1/11 1806 and he died 21/3 1827 (drowned).
 
I think you have to verify in your research that Sara born 1780 is the same Sara who died 1862. Sara Larsdotter is not an unusual name and there is always a risk to mix them up. If you have more details on your Sara (date of death, married, any children etc.) maybe we can help you a bit further.
 
Regards,
Esbjörn

Esbjörn,
 
I got the information on Sara Larsdotter from this forum, I don't know anything more about this person than what I got here.
 
I think your correct with this death date it is not 1862.
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Now I am looking for information on Lena Svensdotter.
 
Hälsningar
