Vånga

[karen]

Hello,
I have a few ancestors that were born in the parish of Vånga (I believe in Skaraborg län).  I don't think that this parish exists anymore.  Does anyone know anything about Vånga?  When did the parish dissolve?

[Bo Berndtsson]

The parish Vånga in Skaraborg county was renamed Norra Vånga in 1885 and renamed Kvänum in 2002.
There has also been a parish Vånga (Södra Vånga) in Älvsborg county, dissolved in 1988.

I have been researching my family from Vånga, in the Kristianstad county.  I think that parish is still active.  Interested in any information that anyone has on Vånga.
