Need help deciphering a Swedish death record for Marit Mansdotter.
The record is in Family Search in the Trehorna, Ostergotland, Sweden record of 004215142 - Image 455. The individual who I am researching is Marit Mansdotter. She died on 18 Feb 1780 and was born in 1690. After reading through and looking up some of the few words I could make out, it looks like she was married twice (First time to Nils Persson and the Second time to Jons Manson. I believe her father's name was Mans Ericson (I think?) I was unable to capture the mother's name. If someone has time....no rush.....I am wondering if I could get the record translated so I can get all the details. I hope I am not overburdening anyone on this type of request. Please let me know if I am and I will totally understand.
Thanks!

Hello @Darren Gene Booth I got most of the entry. I don't recognize some words at the end about her health and would need to search in some historic dictionaries. The meaning is:
1780, Feb. 18, died Jöns Månssons of Slangeryd, age stricken wife Marit Månsdotter, born 1690 in Skruvhults norrgård. Father was Måns Ericsson, the mothers name nobody knows. Married first time with laborer Nils Persson from Ekeberg and lived with him in marriage for 20 years. Had 9 children, 5 sons and 4 daughters, 2 of her children live namely “jonen” (the person) Måns Nilsson of Ekeby and Per Svenssons wife Sara Nilsdotter of Biärsjö ?, 24 of her grandchildren are living and 12 great grandchildren. She was a widow 1 year before remarried for second time with laborer Jöns Månsson from Bri..bars? in which marriage no children were born. Not completely sure what the next sentence means but the pieces I understand are, she continued well to read and live a Christian reputable life, she had some type of decline in health 17 years ago and (? something else) for 2 years. She became blind 5 years ago and was likewise bedridden for many (? Something). Buried on 27 Feburary.
Hope this helps,
Geoff

Morris,
Wow! I am so impressed with the Nordic Group and the entire "Community" and the help they provide with family history research. This is such a blessing for people doing research on ancestors from Europe and other countries outside the USA. I can't thank you enough for your response on the death record of Marit Mansdotter as you have definitely gone the extra mile. Have a great weekend!
