I've been trying to determine where this old paper factory was and find information about it since my great-grandmother's family is listed as living there when she was born in 1845 but am not having much luck.

Anyone have any information about this place?

    There is a Marbäcks (Marbecks) Pappersbruk in Snöstorp in Hallands Län listed in the Family Search Wiki. See here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Sn%C3%B6storp_Parish,_Halland,_Sweden_Genealogy.

    Birth records for 1845 are here: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0011423_00001#?c=&m=&s=&cv=&xywh=-749%2C-1%2C5003%2C2480.

    Thank you. Yes, that is the place I am referring to and I have the birth records for the family.

    What I am hoping the find is the exact spot on the map where this property is. Marbäck is on maps as is Marbäck bruk:

    but I am having trouble finding any of the other locations listed as being places within Marbäck, in particular the one I am interested in locating, Marbäck Pappersbruk.

    I am hoping someone knows of a map with enough detail to show all the old farms and other properties.

    Here is a link to a pdf document about the historic development of Marbäck including a few historic maps:

    The document is in Swedish, use DeepL.com for a translation.

    Thank you! That is exactly what I was wanted to find. My wife and I will be in the area this summer and were hoping to see where she lived, or at least whatever is standing there now.
