Enånger Grängsjö 1721 Death

[Timothy Blomquist]

Here is another one I am trying to read.  The burial is from 24 June 1721 and it is for _________ Matzdotter, child of Matz Påhlsson and Walbor Knutsdotter.  I cannot figure out the first name of this woman who died.
 
The year of birth is not visible in this record, but the LDS copy of this on Ancestry.com filmed in the 1950s shows a year of birth of 1660. Perhaps someone can give a complete translation of this.
 
Thanks Again!

Correction above.  The year of birth was either 1631 or 1637. It's not very clear.

Timothy!
The name of the village is Gränsjö not Grönsjö.
 
Have a nice day!

Margareta, thanks for the heads up on the name.  I have only been working Enånger and Grängsjö the past couple of months.  Most of my ancestors are in Arbrå.  These Grängsjö people seem to be of Finn Ancestry, and where they lived only had 3 farms in the 17th century.  Another place this group was living was called Källsjö Finnmarken in southern Delsbo Socken.  More reference to Finnish people I would guess.
 
I did the Ancestry.com DNA test and it did say I had a small percentage of Finnish ancestry. Interesting to confirm this with research.
 
Thanks again,
Timothy Blomquist

It might be good to know that in the early church records Grängsjö is often instead referred to as simply "finnmarken" (literally "finn-grounds", a common word for any area in Sweden where Finns lived in these times).
