Help with 2 Swedish Household Records

I think the notes (seen below) in the Household Record (Sjösås,Kronoberg,A1:3, 1757-1796, paginated p. 101) indicate two places family members went to. The first looks like Ledskog Parish, but I don't find them there, and I'm having trouble interpreting the name in the second paragraph. Ledskor orIn the record below (Rydaholm,Jönköping, A1:7, 1822-1832, p. 97), it looks like Bengt came from Ryssby , page 204 and Stina from page, 43 of the same book. However, I can't find either of them. Am I misinterpreting the record?Ryssby

    For your first image, there is a farm called Leaskog (or Ledskog) in Sjösås parish. You might look for them there. The second place in the first image looks like Not(t)ebäck parish and the place could be Lillåker.

     

    For the second image, it does look like Ryssby where he came from in 1822. There are 2 parishes by the name of Ryssby, one in Kronoberg and one in Kalmar. Did you check both of them? As far as where Stina Swensdotter came from, this book has 2 page numbers on each page-one is handwritten at the top left and the other is stamped at the bottom. The numbers on this page are 43 (top left) and 97 (bottom). There is a Stina born in 90 two names above Bengt on this page. I can't really make out her patronym, but it could be Swensdotter. You might try following her and see if she is the correct person.

    Just want to follow-up here. Did you find Bengt Månson in Ryssby?

    Unfortunately I did not, but I plan to look at it again a bit later as sometimes I think I just need "fresh" eyes.

    Thank you for following up!
