Translation help for Swedish Clerical Survey - Anders Claesson
I would appreciate some help trying to read the place name where the family of Anders Claesson and Anna Jansdotter moved in 1769. They are the first family on this page.
I also have questions about two of their daughters. Their daughter, Anna, born in 1749, is not listed as moving with the family in 1769, but there is also not a notation of her death. Their daughter, Sara, is listed as moving separately to Risänge. The line in the Examination book says: Sara _______ Risånge. Can you fill in the missing words? https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9Y46-F9X?i=65 or https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v72360?image=67
Thank you so much for your help,
Julia Woodall

I read the line as:
Anders Claësson, h[ustru] Anna Jans[dotter], F(?) Karin & Kjerstin flyttade til __åla d 17 Mart. 1765.
The first letter of the place name is unclear to me. I did not find any place name that ends with -åla in the register of this clerical survey (image 8/9). However, there was a härad (judicial district) in this area with the name Våla härad (https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A5la_h%C3%A4rad). Also there is a community called Östervåla about 10 km north of Harbo. So possibly the place name given here is Våla but a parish with this name does not exist.
The note for Sara seems to be:
Sara tj.h.a.l. i Rißänge
where the letters are abbreviations, possibly tj[änar] h[os] ... serves at ... in Risänge

I think the place that the family of Anders Claësson moved to what looks like Våla/Wåla. I don't believe there is a parish by that name, but there may be a farm by that name. I am not sure about the daughter Anna not being listed as moving out with the family or a death date. It is quite possible that she moved with the family, but it was just an oversite that she was not listed in the move.
It looks like Sara Andersdotter moved to a farm called Risinge/Rissinge in Harbo parish. I believe that she is found on page 135 under the Anders Larsson household working as a piga. Harbo (C, U) AI:5 (1763-1791) Image 76 / Page 136 (AID: v72360.b76.s136, NAD: SE/ULA/10377)

The place Anders Claesson moves to in 1765 is definitely (Öster)våla. He and his family are here in the Household records: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0008767_00047#?c=&m=&s=&cv=46&xywh=689%2C1369%2C1568%2C759.
