Where is Ekornetorp,Frodine Parish in Kalmar county located?

[Edwin Earl Brandon]

Is there a map? Judy Olson Baouab found a very good one of Vimmerby kommun (Frodinge) for me. Also, what does the term kommun mean?
   Sorrey, I do not know how to type an umlat (2 dots above a letter O or a).

The Swedish term kommun ~ municipality, township.
Traditionally the local government in Sweden is, compared with many other countries, rather extensive and powerful (and spends nowadays a big share of our taxes).

Hi Edvin,
 
Ekornetorpet was situated near Stjärnevik, eighter Övre or Nedre on the map below.
Around a half mile SouthEast from Frödinge church.

Thank You everyone. I guess my ancestor came from a town just like my own hometown. It is no longer there. I am from a supply center that once supplied goldminers. It was a town until my mother retired as its postmistress. It was sometimes called Little Finland locally in the Kellogg, Shoshone County, Idaho area.

I axcidently sent my last message twice. Know, even though it does seem evident, I want to know if Frödine and Frödinge are differant spellings of the same parish in Kalmar län?
 Also how do I get Kalmar county archives?

Edwin,
 
The Regional Archives in Vadstena should have records for Kalmar län, among other counties.

The Swedes surely know better than I do but I think that Frödine might be a phonetic attempt to spell Frödinge, or maybe it is an old spelling of Frödinge. Where did you find the spelling of Frödine?
 
Judy

[Elisabeth Thorsell]

Judy is quite correct on both questions, Frödinge is the correct spelling, and the archives at Vadstena has the records for that area.
