Place name on marriage record
27 December 1767 - Marriage of Zachrias Winter to Maria Anna Hök. It looks like it says Maria Anna moved from Oland or Öland. Please help me discover where this place is.

Yes - I read: Jungfru Maria Anna Hök ifr[ån] Öland
Öland is the (long, narrow) island SW of Gotland. There are several parishes on Öland, so one would need to scan them all to find Maria Anna there.

@Ulrich Neitzel I see now where that is. 34 parishes is a lot to go through. Before I jump into this challenge I can see on this household record another place name - Digle?

I read Diefle - but I can't find any parish name that fits. I tried Di* and *fle, but to no avail.
In the next column Inflytt: när, hvadan (Moving in: when, from where) the entry is 1767 Hablingbo which is a parish on Gotland. Unfortunately, there seem not to exist church books for this time period in the Hablingbo archive.

@Ulrich Neitzel More challenges. The two records are different. Do you think she was actually born somewhere on Öland but moved here from Hablingbo?

Yes, I would agree that Maria Anna was probably born on Öland and came first to Hablingbo before she married in Öja which is about 10 miles S of Hablingbo.

@Ulrich Neitzel Ok. Thanks for your help. This one maybe a work in progress.
