Kungsäter - Halland or Älvsborg?

[Joan Anderson]

My grandparents came from Kungsäter and Karl Gustav.  Are those parishes in Halland or Älvsborg?  And are both of those in Västergotland? They were from Gårdshorn and Grubbagård.  So how do I write where they were from?

[Jens Arvidsson]

These two parishes are definitely situated in
Västergötland. Concerning the borders of the
län, these parishes where transfered to
Halland's län in 1970. However, it seems that
many genealogists now mostly use the landskap
when noting where a parish is situated, since
the borders of the various län are so prone to
change.
