Dear Jerry:

I have completed your research hours for this period. As before, the pedigree charts are in one package and the family group sheets in another package. I have still been researching at Lindesberg parish.

If you will first go to pedigree chart #6 you will see the family of Erich Nilsson and Margreta Pehrsdotter (family #218 which you have). Enclosed you will find updated sheets on two of their children. These are:

Petter Ersson who was married in 1743 to Brita Ersdotter and who resided at Hidinge in Lindesberg (family #219). I have so far found record of seven children. Three of these died young.

Anna Ersdotter, also a child of Erich Nilsson, was married in 1740 to Olof Olsson (family #669). Most of their children were born at Munckhyttan. I have thus far found record of six children.

On pedigree chart #7 is the family of Par Andersson and Kerstin Jansdotter (family #24). They are your 7th great grandparents from Forneboda in Lindesberg. They were the parents of 13 children.

The wife, Kerstin Jansdotter, was apparently the only child of Johan or Jan Nilsson and Ellicka Parsdotter (family #65). They are also shown on pedigree chart #7, and are your 8th great grandparents.

Jumping ahead to pedigree chart #51 you will find the parents of Ellicka Parsdotter, Par Johansson and his wife of Aspa (fam #95). They had at least six children.

To go back now to pedigree chart #7, at the bottom of the chart is the family of Pehr Hansson and his wife Elisbeth Olsdotter (family #186). They resided at Snuggan in Lindesberg, where they had nine children. Enclosed you will also find updated sheets on two of their children:

Pehr Pehrsson was married in 1740 to Karin Larsdotter (fam #187). They also resided at Snuggan, where they had at least seven children.

Brita Pehrsdotter was married twice. Her second husband was Johan Berggren (family #686). I have now found record of two children in this family.

Next we go to pedigree chart #8 where you will see Pehr Pehrsson. His first wife was Carin Larsdotter (family #371). Pehr is your 6th great grandfather. It appears that he had eight children with his first wife.

Pedigree chart #18 is next. Here you will find the family of Johan Eliasson and his wife Marit Larsdotter (family #86 which you have). They are your 9th great grandparents. Enclosed you will find updated sheets on two of their children:

Maria Johansdotter was married in 1720 to Olof Hansson of Langakar (family #581). They were the parents of seven children. One of these, Maria Olsdotter, was married in 1752 to Per Olsson of Snuggan (family #701).

Cherstin Johansdotter was married in 1713 to Anders Hansson (family #185). He is also your relative. They had seven children, all born at Wasselhyttan. One of these, Maria Andersdotter, was married in 1750 to Anders Ersson, also of Wasselhyttan (family #696).

Hans Ersson and Ingeborg Ersdotter are shown on pedigree chart #19 (family #87 which you have). They are the parents of Anders Hansson above, who married Cherstin Johansdotter.

Next we go to pedigree chart #24 where you will see Per Ersson of Granshyttan. His second wife was Anna Olofsdotter (family #262). They were the parents of seven children. Their son, Olof Persson was married twice, first to Anna Andersdotter (family #259) and then to Karin Andersdotter (family #690). There were five children from the first marriage but apparently none from the second.

Hans Andersson and Elisabet Andersdotter are your 9th great grandparents (family #286). You will find them on pedigree chart #48. You already have this family group sheet. One of their children was Kirsten Hansdotter, who was married to Anders Ifvarsson (family #439). They were the parents of nine children.

Two of these were married as follows:

Anders Andesson was married in 1727 to Maria Hansdotter, but it does not appear that they had any children (family #646).

Kerstin Andersdotter was married in 1735 to Eric Johansson and resided at Oskinbohyttan (family #645). I have found record of three children, but it appears that I may have missed some of the earlier children.

Kerstin Parsdotter was married twice. She is shown on pedigree chart #52 with her first husband, Hans Pehrsson. Her second marriage was to David Ersson, also your relative (family #279 which you have). There are updated sheets on two of her children by this second marriage:

Chirsten Davidsdotter was married in 1715 to Anders Andersson of Aspa (family #569). They were the parents of eight children. I have located the marriage of another of these children, Hans Andersson was married in 1752 to the widow Anna Hansdotter (family #700).

Lars Davidsson was married in 1722 to Kerstin Ersdotter, with whom he had seven children (family #587). One of these, Carin Larsdotter, was married, also in 1752, to Matts Andersson, who is also your relative (family #698).

Olof Svensson was married to Kerstin Svensdotter (family #199). They are shown on pedigree chart #53. You already have this family group sheet. They are your 9th great grandparents and were from Garphyttan. Enclosed is an updated sheet on one of their children, Anna Olsdotter, who was married in 1713 to Lars Hansson (family #260). They were the parents of ten children.

A daughter to Lars Hansson and Anna Olsdotter, Anna Larsdotter, was married in 1751 to Lars Andersson (family #697).

The remaining family group sheets are for various other cousins, mostly first cousins. The relationship is shown on each.

That covers the research I have done for you this period. I hope that you and your family are all well. Please let me known if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you again soon and continuing with your research.

Sincerely yours,
Linda K. Larson
