Malmberg, Johanna Matilda b. 21 Oct 1813 Ljunga ?

[Janet Hunt]

Hi List.....I am researching the above name and according to HER 1840-1849 Alvsborg Tvarred, page 131 she was born in Ljunga??  Does this village or parish name look kind of familiar to anyone?  Johanna was married to Anders Isberg, b. 10 Sep 1808 Nassjo.  Thank you for any direction or help!

The place of birth stated in household examination rolls is usually a parish.  
 
There were two different parishes named Ljunga (and a few villages to boot), but both parishes have been renamed since. I think you should start with the one that's situated about 15 miles south of Nässjö. As it's been renamed, look for Sävsjö parish in Jönköpings län!

Hi Janet,
with the dates you mention you should probably not be looking for Sävsjö.
This is what the swedish tax authorities say about the name:
-1885 Ljunga, 1885-04-17-1946 Norra Ljunga, 1947- Sävsjö.
Actually it was mentioned as Norra Ljunga even before 1885, probably to distinguish it from Södra Ljunga -1885 Ljunga (i Sunnerbo), 1885-04-17- Södra Ljunga.

Thank you Barbro and Anna-Carin for your generous help and time, I don't know where I would be in my research if it weren't for amazing people like you!
 
Sincerely,
Janet

I should have mentioned that Södra Ljunga is in Kronobergs län.
