I am trying to make sure I am reading this map correctly, see attached. scroll through page
I believe the house lots map corresponds with the ABC list that starts with the word "Hustomterne" and Sven Olofsson. My ancestor is H: Elias Bryngelsson. I am wondering if the green land map corresponds with this same name list? OR does the green land correspond with the other ABC list starting with Jacob Ericsson and where Elias Bryngelsson is C?
In other words...which green land did Elias Bryngelsson own?

Hello #karenrasmussen ,
I looked up the map on the lantmäteriet website and found a transcript copy of this Storskifte map and supporting documents that was easier to read, see https://historiskakartor.lantmateriet.se/historiskakartor/show.html?archive=REG&showmap=true&searchType=v&nbOfImages=10&sd_base=lm15&sd_ktun=0004bezt&mdat=20161222205048534718.
I'm not a specialist in reading or understanding the context of the land reform process but this is what I gather:
On June 2, 1823 the reform was done by order of the governor and under authority of a Lieutenant and a commissioner land-surveyor for Krono skatte hemman Tegen (I think it is land that was formerly owned by the crown that had been sold.)
One entire mantal of land , governor ordered for storskifte on 24 May (1823) to divide dwellings, properties and enclosed pasture, notification to land owners Swen Olofsson, Gabriel Andersson, Lars Ersson, Jacob Ersson, Jacob Nilsson, Jon Olofsson along with .. protokoll 18 June 1807 owners of 3/16 of tomterne Anders Olofsson, Anders Eliessson, Elias Brygelsson owner of 1/8 mantal which later were away, served herewith Anders Pärsson and Jan Svensson of Kärr. Order was announced hereafter participants .. one year. Previous work had been done in 1781, and 1802. Elias Bryngelsson’s name on p. 5 has to do with a portion of the pasture.
I think Appendix A refers to things as they are before the land reform. Elias Bryngelsson has 1/8 mantal on letter H (map not shown).
I think page 9 puts a value to land production and Elias Bryngelsson is listed on letter C. I think C is the reference to where he owned and worked after the reform. I think the map represents locations after the land reform, green is the farming lot and the pink is where the dwelling, outbuildings, garden etc. were located.
To get further insight in this, you can contact the Dalslands Fornminnes - Hembygdsförbund (a cultural, historical society that includes interests in land and land reform). You can see their website at https://www.hembygd.se/dalsland. They have a contact email at kjell.bo.andersson@gmail.com.

Wow, thank you so much for your answer and links and information on this map. Your help is amazing. I am reading an interesting book about land records as well. So I keep chipping away at all of this. You help is so valuable.
