Where is Bitterna?

[Anna Wallece Holloway]

It's possible my great-grandfather, Anders Hult, was from Bitterna, Skaraborgs lan. Vaster Gotland is a big area--what part of it was Bitterna in?

Hi Anna,
 
Perhaps these sites will help you find Bitterna on a map. Bitterna would have been in Skaraborg county, but today it is in Västra Götaland county, as you seem to know.

And the distance from, Landvetter, the airport of Göteborg (Gothenbourg), to Bitterna is about 85 km (~ 53 miles).

Thanks--you've been very helpful (and I didn't mean to post twice--I couldn't see my first one and thought it didn't go through)! --Anna
