You continue to amaze me Niels! I thought there were no records for Carl Gustaf Peterson and your research has added not only information on him but at least 23 other family members. And not just names, but birthdates, christening dates, moving records, explanations and even stories. I feel like I know these people now. I definitely do not have an expressive enough word to thank you for all of your work and all of the years of learning and experience that have gone into your being able to do what you do.
I really appreciate your explanation of the development of surnames in Sweden. It is much more involved than I ever understood. I have cut and pasted that information into a document that I am going to share with others that I know are doing Swedish research.
It took me quite a long time to go through all of your sources and information and try to understand them as best I can. It was wonderful to add all of the names of the children, including the ones that had died. I love to get families attached like that. I wondered about the bottom part of this record. I attached a screenshot to show you the part I am wondering about. I think it says the widow Elin Hofsdotter (?) Maybe Gustaf or Maria's mother? (and the + would indicate that she is deceased?) Then the people listed just below that--Enken, etc. are they part of the family?
I'm impressed that you found so much information on Peter Gustaf Bowman's parents! I was searching myself for his parents' names, but didn't find anything. Obviously, you know where to look and how to look.
You have added so much to my family tree that I am going to claim you as a cousin, whether a pedigree can prove it or not!!!

Hi Maxine.
The widow (= enkan) is "Elin Olofsdotter". Born 9. October 1693.
She is not Maria Svensdotters mother, but could potentially be Gustav Major's mother.
Gustav Major should be born in Linhofda (= Lenhovda församling) in 1736, but unfortunately the church book is incomplete for that year. His father should be an Isak (Isaac probably in older spelling) according to the website of "båtsmän" in Madesjö.
It could be this very last entry (almost unreadable for me)
D. 1. februar 1736 har ?Jönssons? ?..? barn i uti ?..gård? [a place name] wed namn ?..staf?
Second line could be "Gustaf" and the word right after is probably Testes (so the witnesses), where a certain Major Ha...Skytte is one of them [so remember that his name Major comes much later when he is a båtsman].
But the father names seems definitely not to be Isak/Isaac, but rather Jönsson are something like that.

For charity reasons you could take in an old widow, especially if she was a family relation. Elin could be a near or more distant relative.
Cheers
From the claimed cousin 😁
Correction it must say "Isac Jönsson" for the father, so it might actually be the correct birth of Gustaf Isaksson Major.
The place name at the 1736 birth must be Nybyggat.

So before the child (possible Gustaf) born in 1736, they have had 2 daughters.
There is then a hiatus from 1736-1740 with no church entries from Lenhovda.
After it resumes in 1740 I can find no trace of Isac Jönsson......
Hello Niels my favorite cousin! Thanks again for all of your very meticulous research in behalf of a person you've never met and a family that you have only recently been adopted into :)
Sorry for the lateness of my reply. I had some yard and garden work this weekend that could no longer be ignored and then it has taken me some time to go through the information you have sent (you can tell by the number of views on this thread that I have been back and forth many times reading and recording.)
For a while, I wasn't able to get to the links because the browser I was using said that I didn't have the correct plug ins. I was trying to solve that problem, but then it occurred to me to try a different browser which worked fine and now I am able to see everything you sent and will be able to attach the records to the proper people. Again you have added a lot of new names to my family tree. I am grateful for that and I'm sure all of those people who are now identified and gathered as families in the records are also grateful.
I wanted to say that I loved your explanation of the morning gift and the fact that you included it as a source. What a wonderful custom; I hope that it is still being practiced in Sweden.
All of these explanations that you have given along the way really have created a story of a family for me. I plan to gather all of those ideas and write a story about this part of my Swedish family before long.
Have a wonderful week!
Hi Maxine!
Feel free to ask in this thread if you have any further question. Good that you are finally able to see the links to the swedish national archives, so you have access to the original texts.
Good plan to make a storyline , so you bring your ancestors more "to life"! It almost makes it easier to remember the vast number of names involved the further one moves back in time.
Cheers
Niels
Thank you again and again for all of this wonderful research you have done!
I do have another stubborn Swedish line that I would like to work back on a generation or two, but I want to go through all what I have and try to follow some of the research paths that I have learned before I ask for further help.
Hopefully I will talk to you again sometime; you have been so gracious and generous.
