Vårö and Veddige parishes in Halland

[Gary Johnson]

Does anyone know the history of Vårö and Veddige
parishes in Halland län?

[Anita Hjorth]

Gary, I think you mean Värö and Veddige, two small parishes about an hour´s drive south of Gothenburg. But what do you want to know about them?

[Lennart Haglund]

Hello Gary,
Our fine länsmuseum/county museum, situated in the old fortress, might have what you ask for.   Try 'kansli@lansmuseum.varberg.se' and ask for  literature and even addresses to homestead societies in V&V.
Best regards! /Lennart Haglund, Varberg

Hello Gary - once again,
I found an e-mail address for Värö-Stråvalla hembygdsförening/homestead society:
'kess.bua@telia.com' and I?m sure you are welcome there! /Lennart Haglund

Thanks to all who responded.  I am looking for general information about these parishes, such as
what is it like to live there.  What is the origin of the names of the parishes.  Why are many of the farms named after people,like Oluf
Tolfsgård? Are these parishes close to each other?
