I'm trying to figure out where this family went and could use some help.

The reference is the Sweden Church Records in Koppaberg County, Ludvika Parish, 1815-1825, A1:3 page 32. I believe they either they moved or something. Could someone tell me what this means. I've tried to find them on Torpa or Skulltuna, but no luck. Attached is a close up of the record, but it's easy to find with the directions I've given. Can someone help me find them so I know where they went?

It says that they moved to Skultuna at 1817.

In Skultuna moving records started not until 1822, so you need to search the family by page by page.

Here they are:

Solberga, Skultuna, Kopparberg, Sweden​

Thank you so much! I was able to trace them to these two books, but again I've lost the trail. Are you able to tell me what this says?

Stina Ericsdotter widowed 1831. She moved 1852 to SB (större bruksorten) page 53, same parish, different book.

She is marked here as Christina Ericsdotter

Thanks for that help. How do I find her in the next book, 1854+? I didn't see anything in the table of contents that looks like the area you mentioned. Also, I looked at the deaths in 1831, and I don't see a Jan Andersson listed with a birth date of 1773. There are two Jan Andersson's mentioned. One is on line 16 but his age doesn't quite match, saying he as 63, but he should be about 58-59 and the other is on line 28 but I think that's mentioned with someone else's death. You've been very helpful. I've been able to clean up quite a bit of these records on FamilySearch. If you are willing to guide me though the rest of this, I would be grateful.

 

Thanks,

I could not either find Jan Andersson's death record listed. His death information is marked in Husförhörslängder. It says he died at 27 Aug 1831 in Västerås.

In book 1844-1853 Christina Ericsdotter is mentioned in större bruksroten which means bigger factory division (That division is läsförhörsrote, I do not know what it is in English, but it means that parish was divided to smaller areas. People were examined how well they could read and knew Lutheran doctrine. One rote at time they gathered together to be examined.)

 

Christina can be found in the next book from bruksrote:

Widowed wife Christina Ericsdotter (Christina Björk in death record) died at 6 Jan 1862 from old age frailty.
