My ancestor, Hanna ANDERSDOTTER born 10 February 1766, father is Anders NILSSON, no mother listed on birth record. The catechism record of 1780 shows living on Romshuset farm: Anders NILSSON, wife Kirstina, daughters Bengta and Hanna. This is the right family and right farm.
The HFL for 1793 shows Anders as age 76 and Kirstina, age 72.
When Kirstina died in 1793 she is listed only as Kirstina, wife of Anders NILSSON of Romshuset. Her age is given as 72 making a birth year of 1721. There is a Kirstina KNUTSDOTTER born 8 October 1721 to Knut ESKILSSON. However, I am not sure this is the right Kirstina.
In the Spjutstorp parish birth records there are the following children born to Anders NILSSON:
Nils ANDERSSON, baptized 12 August 1759 - parents Anders NILSSON and Kirstina TRUEDSDOTTER.
Bengta, baptized 16 December 1760 to Anders NILSSON and Kirstina TRUEDSOTTER.
Truet - baptized 8 July 1764, only the father listed.
Hanna, 12 February 1766, only father listed - my ancestor.
Elsa, baptized 4 August 1776, only father listed.
I will have to re-check the parish records to see if baptismal witnesses give any clues as to whether all these children are in the same family.
Kirstina TRUEDSDOTTER was born 14 November 1731 to Trued PARSSON and Elna PARSDOTTER. The IGI lists a Kirstina TRUEDSDOTTER of Spjutstorp marrying about 1752 to Lasse LARSSON.
The IGI also lists a Kirstina KNUTSDOTTER of Spjutstorp marrying 24 October 1761 Hans HENDRICKSSON.
There is also Knut CLEMETSSON in Spjutstorp who had a daughter Kirstina KNUTSDOTTER baptized 27 September 1730.
These last two Kirstina's do not fit the age of 72 in 1793. And I have been unable to find a marriage for Anders NILSSON of Spjutstorp parish and any Kirstina in the years preceding the birth of Hanna in 1766.
Is anyone researching this family or parish?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
