Mantalslängder Rölanda Sweden - Jonsson in Backa translation
I'm hoping someone can help me identify the first name of the person listed in this record in the town/farm of Backa, whose last name is Jonsson. There are also notes with is record I'm hoping can be translated. We know our relative Tolf Jonsson lived in Backa at this time, but I'm not sure Tolf is the person actually listed or a possible relative.

The name is definitely "Tolf Jonsson". If you look at the name of the place just above "Backa" it is "Tolstorp" and the "T" in both words is the same letter. This writer is also forming his "o's" to look like the letter "u". See Tolf's surname, Jonsson, for example and Larsson just above.
The close-up of the note looks to me like "p(iga). Kierstin till Smedjabön (Smedjabyn?) dot. _ifva" (or possibly _ifra). So "maid Kierstin to Smedjabyn(?) daughter? _ifva or _ifra. I don't understand the last word-if it's a name or something else.

Thanks. Appreciate the help. Very nice translation. Norm - can I send you one very difficult record to read? There are a few key words I need help on and rhe writing is so faded I'm not sure it is readable. Interested?
