I would appreciate any help in finding information about my ancestors. My ggg grandparents were Sven Lysell (a soldier) and Maria Persdotter.
A researcher here told me about a soldier named Sven Lysell (born 1810-05-08), who was married to Maria Persdotter (born 1801-05-06). He hired as a soldier in 1835. He is listed in Bohusläns regemente, Hallind rote, number 68, Bro parish. He also found a Swen Lysell, hired 1833 for Nedre Lyse rote, Lyse parish. I think they are the same man.
On FamilySearch.com, I found a marriage record for Swen Olsson (born 1810) and Maria Persdotter (born 1801), married 1831 in Brastad. I also found birth records for their children, all born in Bro with the surname Lysell -- Johannes August (9 May 1833), Karolina Elisabeth (11 June 1835), Carl (1 July 1837), Gustafwa (14 December 1838), Calle (6 July 1841), and another possible child -- Olof Anton Swensson, born 8 October 1831 in Bro. Gustafwa was my g-g grandmother.
I have learned that this family came to Hallind from Lyse parish in 1836. I would appreciate any information about this family in Lyse. In particular, I would like to know the names of Swen and Maria's parents and their place of birth.

Patricia
