Where is Stafby, Uppsala Iän? And is Persson versus Pettersson close enough to validate a record?
FamilySearch suggested a possible match for a record with great, great aunt. A lot of the information matches, but some of it is slightly off. I do believe I have seen Persson/Pettersson as alternates in genealogy trees before. But the birthplace is very perplexing. The one in my tree is listed as Tuna, Uppsala, Sweden. The record lists Stavby, Upps, Iän. If I just look for Stavby, Sweden on a map, the two places are nowhere near close. But if I put in Stavby, Uppsala, Iän I'm taken to Uppsala University, which is rather close.
I'm so confused, I don't know whether to attach the record or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, Persson, Pehrsson, Petersson and Pettersson are all alternates.
Regarding the village of Stavby I would not trust the tip (a bit far apart)
if you write the name and date of birth of the person in question, I can try to find it for you.
