Dear Jerry:

I have completed your research hours for this period. I have continued the research at Lindesberg parish on your ancestors and relatives from that area. As always, you will first find an updated set of pedigree charts, which comprises 63 pages.

The first family group sheet is from pedigree chart #2 for Jonas Persson Hammersmed and Margete Jonsdotter (family #72) who are your 8th great grandparents. This is an updated sheet, in as much as there is additional information on their son, Anders Joensson. As previously reported, he was first married in 1713 to Maria Ersdotter (family #564). She died in 1721 and in 1722 he was remarried to Maria Parsdotter (family #585).

From pedigree chart #3 there is another updated family group sheet. Hans Nilsson and Chirsten Nilsdotter (family #89) are your 7th great grand parents from Ingelshyttan in Lindesberg. Also from pedigree chart #3 is the family of Lars Johansson nd Kirsten Hansdotter (family #46). You will note that Lars Johansson died in 1719 and his wife was then remarried in 1720 to Per Larsson (family #583).

Lars Johansson was the son of Johan Eliasson and Marit Larsdotter (family #86) shown on pedigre chart #18. Their daughter Cherstin Johansdotter was married in 1713 to Anders Hansson (family #185). He is also your relative. Another daughter Maria Johansdotter was married in 1720 to Olof Hansson (family #581).

On the next generation back, Johan Eliasson was the son of Elias Joensson and his first wife Kerstin (family #184). As previously reported, Elias Joensson was married secondly to Gertrud Andersdotter (family #400). Maria Eliasdotter was from the first marriage. She was married secondly to Par Larsson (family #539). Cherstin Eliasdotter was from the second marriage of Elias Joensson. She was married in 1695 to Carl Carlsson of Wasselhyttan (family #243). I have now located a total of eleven children from this marriage.

Hans Ersson and Ingeborg Ersdotter of Wasselhyttan (family #87) are shown on pedigree chart #19. They are the parents of Kirsten Hansdotter, wife of Lars Johansson, previously discussed. Hans Ersson died in 1720.

Now we go to pedigree chart #7 to the family of Anders Hansson and his first wife Anna Larsdotter (family #93). Anders Hansson was married secondly to Maria Andersdotter (family #291) with whom he had four children. Anders Hansson died in 1719 and his widow, Maria Andersdotter, was then remarried to Nils Johansson (family #584). Chatarina Andersdotter, from the first marriage of Anders Hansson, was married in 1720 to Lars Andersson from Korberg in Ramsberg (family #579). Lars Andersson is also your relative, being the son of Anders Ersson and Anne Larsdotter (family #444). Another daughter, Ingeborg Andersdotter, was married to Nils Nilsson (family #470) and then to Erich Larsson (family #566).

The lines of Anders Hansson are continued on pedigree chart #48. Anders Hansson was the son of Hans Andersson and his wife Elisabet Andersdotter (family #286) of Hammaren in Lindesberg. They are your 9th great grandparents. Also there are updated sheets on several of their other children:

Peder Hansson was married in 1698 to Margareta Ohlsdotter from Bjorka (family #290). I have found record of eleven children. One of these, Margeta Pedersdotter, was married in 1720 to Erich Bengtsson (family #580).

Margreta Hansdotter was married in 1695 to Lars Christophersson (family #287). They were the parents of seven children.

Anne Hansdotter was married in 1701 to Par Ersson (family #549). I have found record of five children in this family.

The parents of Hans Andersson are your 10th great grandparents. They are Anders Andersson and his wife Karin (family #296) of Hammaren. Also enclosed are family group sheets on two of the other children in this family. Karin Andersdotter was married in 1662 to Anders Andersson of Wasselhyttan (family #402). They were the parents of nine children. Bengta Andersdotter, another daughter, was married to Per Larsson with whom she had four children.

Erik Davidsson and Karin Joensdotter are shown first on pedigree chart #27. One of their children, David Ersson, was married in 1682 to Kerstin Parsdotter (family #279). Kerstin was first married to Hans Pahrsson, as shown on pedigree chart #52. Kerstin is thus your 9th great grandmother. With her second husband, David Ersson, she had six children. The three who lived to adulthood were married as follows:

Erick Davidsson was married in 1704 to Bryta Mattsdotter and resided at Aspa (family #553). Chirsten Davidsdotter was married in 1715 to Anders Andersson (family #569) and also resided at Aspa. Lars Davidsson was married in 1722 to Kerstin Ersdotter (family #587).

The remaining family group sheets are for various other aunts and uncles and cousins. I will not take time to go through each of these. The relationship is given on each sheet.

That covers the research which I have done for you this time. I hope that all is well with you and your family. Please let me know when you receive the package, and also what your plans are for further research. I would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible.

Sincerely yours,
Linda K. Larson
