I have been searching for birth of Johan Anton OLOFSSON, now found Morlanda Parish Oct 12 1855 with parents living in Bockervid on Malon.  Can anyone help with the location as I have been unable to locate where this is, but feel close to Orust.  Johan was the son of Olof OLSSON and Anna Sofia Gustafsdotter and I know there were other siblings.  Would love to hear from anyone researching this family, as well as the location of Malon.  Thank you from Australia.

I don't know where or what Bockervid is, but the website Orter på Orust has some maps and pictures from the area, including Flatö and Malö islets (Malön is simply the definite form of Malö, both forms are used almost interchangeably).
 
North of Orust (on the mainland) there is a place called Bokenäs. Maybe the Boke part can be found in other place-names nearby? On the southern part of Orust itself (another map), south of Malö, you can find Boxviks kile, perhaps a better match for Bockervid although not on Malö itself.
 
There are several parishes on Orust, and Malö appearantly belongs to Morlanda parish.

Anders,
Thank you for the information and I will continue to follow it.  It looks to be a very beautiful place by the photographs.Olof OLSSON as well as Johan Anton OLOFSSON were both seaman. Thank you again, I am most grateful to you.

Bockervik (not Bockervid) was a place on the little island Malön according to the church records for Morlanda parish. I am not familiar with this area so I am sorry I can't give more information about the location.

Thank you Joran, after trying to find my roots for thirty plus years, then I appreciate any bit of information I can get.  I have made a note of the alteration in spelling as Bockervik, and I thank you sincerely.  Kind regards from Clara in Australia.
PS.  I should have found this list a long time ago!!
