There seems to be something different about her birth. She was born in Grava but her family was living in Karlstads at the time. I know that they aren't too far away from each other. Was she born in a hospital vs. at home? Was her mother visiting someone in Grava and that is why she was born there? Please take a look at this records and let me know if there is something that explains why she was born in a different parish then where her mother was living.

According to the birth record, Ulrika was born illegitimately to Brita Stina Jonsdotter in Karlstad. Brita Stina was a maid (piga) and lived in Klara No. 2 quarter in Karlstad. Perhaps she was originally from Grava and travelled there to give birth. Interestingly, Ulrika bears the name 'Olson', despite there being no father with that name recorded. Brita Stina had two other illegitimate children in the household examination, but no different names were indicated for them.

@Ulrich Neitzel Both of her sister's birth records show their father as Per Adolf Olsson of Qvistbro, Örebro. We have not explored that connection yet. I suspect that Ulrika has the same father though I have no source to back that up.
