Dear Jerry:

I have completed your research hours for this period. I am still working at Lindesberg parish, particularly going through the clerical survey records. As I told you before, the clerical surveys provide important information, or they help to clarify and in some cases correct data collected from the parish registers.

As always, there is first a new set of updated pedigree charts. We first go to pedigree chart #2 to the family of Joran Ersson and Anna Joensdotter (family #7 which you have). Enclosed is an updated sheet on their son, Anders Joransson. He was married to Kierstin Hansdotter (family #179). You are related to both of these individuals. Kierstin is the daughter of Hans Nilsson and Chirsten Nilsdotter (family #89) shown on pedigree chart #3. Thus you are a 6th great grand nephew to both of these individuals. I also discovered that I previously sent you two different sheets on this family. The other sheet was family #711, which I have now deleted and combined with family #179.

Next we go to pedigree chart #6 to the family of Erich Nilsson and Margreta Pehrsdotter (family #218). They are your 7th great grandparents. Their son, Erich Ersson was married in 1749 to Brita Hansdotter (family #725) with whom he had six children.

The parents of Margrete Pehrsdotter were Pehr Larsson and Anna Hindrichsdotter (family #221). They are shown on pedigree chart #47. They are your 8th great grandparents.

On pedigree chart #7 is the family of Anders Hansson and Anna Larsdotter (family #93 which you have). Their daughter, Anna Andersdotter was married in 1733 to Jacob Pehrsson, with whom she had three children (family #650).

Also on pedigree chart #7 is the family of Pehr Hansson and Elisabeth Olsdotter (family #186 which you have). They are your 8th great grandparents. Their daughter, Brita Pehrsdotter was married secondly to Johan Berggren (family #686). Both of their children died young.

If you will now go to pedigree chart #27 you will find the family of Erik Davidsson and Karin Joensdotter (family #367 which you have). Their son David Ersson was married in 1682 to Kerstin Parsdotter (family #279). Kerstin is also your relative, through her marriage to Hans Pehrsson. Several of the children to David Ersson and Kerstin Parsdotter were married as follows:

Erick Davidsson was married in 1704 to Britha Mattsdotter and they were the parents of eight children (family #553). One of these was Erich Ersson who was married in 1735 to Anna Parsdotter (family #648).

Chirsten Davidsdotter was married in 1715 to Anders Andersson (family #569). They were also the parents of eight children. Their son Par Andersson, who also used the surname of Oster, was married in 1749 to Annicka Christophersdotter (family #632).

Lars Davidsson was married in 1722 to Kerstin Ersdotter with whom he had seven children. (family #587). Their son Erich Larsson was married about 1760 to Anna Andersdotter (family #697). You will note that this family number was previously used for Lars Andersson. However, I discovered that this family was wrong. Another child to Lars Davidsson was Carin Larsdotter. She was married in 1752 to Matts Andersson (family #698). You are also related to Matts Andersson as shown.

Par Johansson and his wife (family #95 which you have) are shown on pedigree chart #51. Their son Erich Parsson was married in 1704 to Anna Andersdotter (family #516). Par Ersson Oster, a son to Erich Parsson and Anna Andersdotter was married about 1737 to Kerstin Hansdotter (family #676). They were the parents of six children, of whom four died.

On pedigree chart #53 is the family of Olof Svensson and Kerstin Svensdotter (family #199 which you have). Their daughter Anna Olsdotter was married to Lars Hansson (family #260). They were the parents of ten children, of whom five died young.

The remaining family group sheets are for various other cousins. The relationship is listed on each. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I hope that you and your family members are all well. I look forward to hearing from you again soon and continuing with your research.

Sincerely yours,
Linda K. Larson
