I am trying to solidify the family of Hans Persson of Torsaker and his wife Karin Persson.

ArkivDigital: Household survey, Torsaker (X) AI:2 1710-1731 page 40 records:

Hans (Larsson or Persson, hard to read) and wife Carin (Larson or Persson--hard to read). They had some children but names are hard to read and no dates included.

I'm not even sure I'm in Fors, the name places are hard to read.

Can someone make that out?

Also same family, the birth record for daughter Merit should be in the following record but I can't see it.

Is this the record you are referring to?

Can you see the family of Hans Persson and his wife Karin (Carin) Persdotter in that record? They should have at least some of the following children:

Brita Hansson (b1702)

Chierstin hansson (b1704)

Margreta Hansson (b1707)

Pahr Hansson (1710)

Karin Hansson (b1713)

Anna Hansson (b1717) She is the birth record I also sent a question about

Merit Hansson (b1720) Another birth record I can't read.

 

I found a birth record for all the children except the last two which I'm not sure about. If I could find them in a household exam I could be more confident. They were supposedly born in Fors, Torsaker, Gavleborg.

Wow! Heidi! I am in awe that you can read that hen scratching. Thank you so much for figuring out this puzzle for me.
