Who are her parents?
@Ulrich Neitzel Since you have helped me with this kind of puzzle before I am hoping you would be will to talking this out with me.
Catharina Jonsdotter, born 11 September 1780 - parents are listed as Jonas Nilsson & Anna Greta Jonsdotter of Ängstugan.
On the household records starting in 1783 Catharina is listed with Anna Greta Lundell and Jonas Berggren as parents in Ängstugan. Since this is close to the time of her birth to makes sense that these are her parents even though they have proper/military instead of patronymics. On Family Search Jonas is shown as being born 9 July 1737 in Julita with his parents being soldier Nils Berggren and Christina Larsdotter. So I can see this as being the correct father. Anna Greta is shown as being born 20 September 1742 in Julita but her birth records does not have a father listed and her mother is only listed Margaretha. This does not confirm her last name at all. Here is that clerical record. There is a note for Catharina on this record which I am not sure what it is.
Here she is at the time of Anna Greta Lundell's death. I am not sure where she is moving to. Can you help me with that? At this time Jonas Berggren married Kerstin Andersdotter who is listed on the page.
Given what I have found I believe Catharina is a child of Jonas Berggren and Anna Greta Lundell. Am I correct?

Unfortunately I can't help much. I am unable to read/interpret the notes. In the first clerical record it seems to be a series of abbreviations (Or: Dom: fot: Cath..bene...) which may refer to Catharina's knowledge of the required catechism). Similar abbreviations are found above for her sister Anna Lena.
The farm/place in the second record looks like Ho_Skälla and then a number (1800?). Not sure what it means.

@Ulrich Neitzel ok. I am correct about her parents?
On the first clerical record there is also something in the first column by her name. It looks like Lenel hol berd but I know that isn't correct. Thoughts are what it might be.

Your arguments about the parents seem reasonable although there is apparently no complete proof about the identity Anna Greta Jonsdotter = Anna Greta Lundell.
I am unable to interpret the note at Catharina's name. It seems to be a later entry by the same hand as the note to the right. Strangely enough there is another Catharina Jonsdotter (born 1786) on the following page who has the same remark.

@Ulrich Neitzel Thank you. I have tried looking for the probate record for Anna Greta Lundell. I haven't been able to find it yet. I think there must be one since her husband got remarried and there are children from her marriage to him. Most of the time those records show the children.
