Location of Grägarp

[Harold Dozier]

I find what looks like Grägarp as a location in an 1826-1839 HFL for Vena Parish. Have been unable to find this place with my resources. Does anybody know where it is located?

Hi Harold,
 
On which page did You find the place Grägarp, and in which HFL?  
 
There is both AI:11 and AI:12, 1826-1832 and AI:13 and AI:14, 1833-1839.
 
 
There is a Grägarp in Vimmerby parish, not far away from Vena.

Sam seems to have run into trouble pasting the image.
Grägarp is in the lower right of the map.

Bo, tak for map. Sam sent me the same image separately.  
 
Sam, I found it on page 214 of AI:11 in the Ifrån column for the first person on that page. If you have that page, I wonder if you could tell me a couple of things--what is the word before Lars of the first line and what is the phrase in the Särskilta etc column at the far right edge for this same person.I am wondering if it is a note about his changing surname to Falk.
 
Best Regards and thanks for your help.

Harold,
 
In Genline and PLF database,I can read following for Främsteby nr 2, and on the line 1:
Gefreiter (Corporal) Lars Falk, Wimmerby, 87 (birth 1787), Fr. Qvarntorp 1827
 
But under Särskilda anmärkningar it is difficult to read. Maybe someone can read in Genline GID 173.13.91200.
 
Lars Falk is born 1787, March 17.  His father is Sven Samuelsson and mother Sara Caisa Larsdotter, Grägarp, Vimmerby.
 
Under Särskilda anmärkningar, maybe is written that he had change name from Svensson to Falk when he became soldier.
 
You can read about Genline under http://www.genline.com/start.php
 
and about plf under http://samblixt.global.nu and then click on PLF-meny, there You have information also in English.
 
Regards
 
Sam

Sam, thanks for the help. I certainly did not read where he came to Främsteby from correctly. Thanks also for the  suggestions to check Genline and plf.
 
mvh
