Need help finding a birth record
Carna Jonsdotter was born in 1763 in Stro, Kristianstad. I've looked in ArkivDigital and see that area hasn't any household surveys until 1771 and then it was called Farlov with no index to see if Stro was included. There are birth records earlier than that but I can't read them. Her father was Jon Abrahamsson and her mother was Magdel Persdotter. Can someone help me find that family and more specifically Carna?

Here is the family in the earliest household records for Färlöv/Strö (Entry #5): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0059539_00058#?c=&m=&s=&cv=57&xywh=2660%2C1548%2C3932%2C2066 . Jöns Abrahamsson has died and the wife, Mägtel has been remarried to Jöns Larson.
This household record shows 4 daughters born to Jöns Abrahamsson and Mägtel (Persdotter). They are:
Kierstina 1758 (27 Dec) Her birth record is here (entry 14): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0061223_00038#?c=&m=&s=&cv=37&xywh=332%2C2348%2C3696%2C1984&r=. All the birth records indicate the family is from Öfwarp (By).
Ingar 1761 (23 March) Her birth record is here (entry 3, left-hand page): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0061223_00042#?c=&m=&s=&cv=41&xywh=206%2C100%2C4248%2C2281&r=
Carna 1763. I have looked through the birth records several times and her birth is not listed! Occasionally, it happens that somebody drops the ball and a birth doesn't get recorded. I think that may have happened here. It is also a possibility that the parish priest was taking care of both parishes and recorded the birth in Färlöv parish records rather than Norra Strö. There are not any birth records for Färlöv parish between 1716 and 1768.
Bereta 1770 (3 January) Her birth record is here (enry #1): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0061223_00053#?c=&m=&s=&cv=52&xywh=2958%2C212%2C3332%2C1789&r=
Jöns Abrahamsson's death (28 April 1771) is listed here (entry #6): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0061223_00074#?c=&m=&s=&cv=73&xywh=3123%2C1327%2C3219%2C1728. It says he was 42 years old.
This is the family in the next household records (1774 to 1782): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0059540_00124#?c=&m=&s=&cv=123&xywh=1959%2C-202%2C5709%2C3000. It says that Carna (still no birth date listed) has moved to somewhere. I believe the 1779 date is the date she first took Holy Communion (the initials "S.C." preceding the date could stand for "sacra communio" which is Latin for "Holy Communion"). At any rate, she is gone from her home with no record of where she has moved to. She may still be in the same parish but you would have to look through the book page-by-page to see if you can locate her. You could also look through the marriage records starting in about 1783.
Update: I took my own advice and I believe I found her marriage record here (second entry, right-hand page):https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0061223_00102#?c=&m=&s=&cv=101&xywh=2881%2C276%2C3161%2C1697. She marries Mathis Trulson on 11 March 1785. I found them in the household records in Kaleberga village, Strö parish. She has the same birthdate, 1763 (with no day or month). That record is here: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0059541_00252#?c=&m=&s=&cv=251&xywh=2709%2C168%2C3014%2C1472. She is listed as a piga at the top of the right hand page, but then she is listed with her husband, Mathis Trulson immediately below that. They have two sons, both named John (indicating that the first one (born 10 April 1785) probably died (look for that death record 18 April 1785). The other son was born 18 Sept 1786. You should look through the birth records to find their births to see if any of the witnesses are her mother or step father. That would prove that it is the correct Carna Jönsdotter.

Also, I should have mentioned that the other witnesses for the births of the two Johns, could be siblings of Carna.
