Thanks for the offer of research help. What I am really looking for in Transcription and Translation of the document found in the link. I already have lots of information on the people in question. Since there are gaps in the record for this area I am using the probate record to confirm the other information I have.

On 11?

@Ulrich Neitzel Thank you.

So at least the son, Per Nilsson's father is Nils ?

On the Mantals I find a Nils Andersson in Ryr. If I am reading this correctly he died in 1772?

https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/A0003452_00256

As I follow the Mantals back I can see children listed as Britta, Erick, Anders and one other that I am not sure what the name is.

This is possibly Nil's death record. It looks like there is more information on it.

Do you think I am on the correct path?

Unfortunately, no patronyms are given for the children in the record. Therefore, it is unclear whether they are the children of Olof Arvidsson — in which case they would have the name Olsson or Olsdotter — or if they are the children of Elin from an earlier marriage. The son Per Nilsson, mentioned at the end, seems to suggest this.

In the household record from 1789 to 1794 Per (b: 1761) and Eric (b: 1756) are listed as sons under Olof Arvidsson and Elin. Therfore, one would assume they are his sons.

However, in the household record from 1796 to 1802 both are listed with their own families and have the patronym "Nilsson".

I found the birth record of (probably) Erich, son of Nils Andersson and Elin Erichsdotter, born 5 January 1756 here (top right-hand page):

The birth record for Per, born 1 September 1761, son of Nils and Elin is here (second left-hand page):

So it appears that at least these two children of Elin are from the earlier marriage to Nils Andersson. He died in 1772 at the age of 50. Elin (born 1718) was 54 at that time and was unable to have any more children in her subsequent marriage to Arvid.

@Ulrich Neitzel

I think I found the Boupptechningar for Nils Andersson. I think it just makes me have more questions from what names I can pick out. If this is the correct one will you transcribe and translate this?

I see:

Anders Nilsson

Catrina with Oluf Andersson

Pär Olufsson

Maria Olufsdotter

Britta Nilsdotter

Erick

I have a marriage record for Olof Arvidsson and Elin Eriksdotter in Åminskog, 3 January 1776. I also have the tax mantals showing Olof Arvidsson moving to Ryr. His children with his first wife are - Britta, Anicka, Petter, and Maria.

@Ulrich Neitzel Wonderful! Now I know the names of the six children - Swen, Anders, Erik, Pär, Catrina, and Britta.

I am so thankful when I can put a family together correctly. Thank you.
