Bäcke Parish

[Tom Jensen]

I am trying to locate Bäcke parish, I put a query in the search engine and got a reply that suggests that there are  three parishs named Bäcke, or that the parish overlaps three Landskap,Bohuslan,Småland, and Dalsland? or some cobination. Could someone please explain this to me, Thank You.

Bäcke parish is located in Dalsland (and in former Älvsborg county, which is useful to know when you start looking for church records). I believe the other two parishes you found are Bäckebo in Småland and Bäckebol in Bohuslän, the latter parish even formed as late as 1995.

The county WAS Älvsborg and is now Västra Götaland county.
