Hello Nancy and Ulla. I am wondering how you have found out that Viktor Simonsson's father was Simon Johannesson? Victor was stated as an illigetamate child in the birthrecord. I have a similar case with another person and I don't know how to go on to find the father.
My sister descends from Märta Andersdotter Björklund and Anders Jacobsson. I thought I'd share what I have on Märta and her parents.
Märta Andersdotter Björklund was born 25/3 1846 in Kraksbyn, Ånimskog, and had a twinsister Greta. They are baptized on March 29, and it was witnessed by Jan Andersson and his wife Stina Jansdotter from Västra Korsbyn, the farm hand Anders Johansson from Västra Korsbyn and Anders Pärssons wife from Kraksbyn. The twinsister died a few months later.
Märta moved from her parents in 1862, and worked as a maid for the soldier Anders Wall in Wangenål, Ånimskog. 1863 to 1864 she worked as a maid for Göran Svensson in Salebol, Ånimskog, and then she returned to her first employer where she stayed until 1865. 1866-69 she worked as a maid for Karl Olof Olsson in Bräcke Västra, Ånimskog. In 1869 she worked for E. Andersson in Strand Nedre III, Fröskog.
She returned to her father in Kraksbyn, Ånimskog in 1870 where she gived birth to her illegitemate child Viktor Simonsson. They lived there until Märtha married the widower Anders Jacobsson on Jan 16, 1874. They were married by assistant vicar Wahlund.Märtha and Viktor moved to her husband in Benebo, where she stayed until her death in May 4, 1880. She died of consumption.
Märthas father:
ANDERS Magnus Björklund was born on Oct 16 1814 in Lund Casan, Ånimskog and is baptized the very next day. The witnesses were Nils Larsson and his wife Maria Jonsdotter from Bolet. 1814-23 he lived with his parents on Salebol's posseses, and after that they moved to Bräcke Lilla, Ånimskog.
Anders moved from his parents in 1834 and worked as a farm hand for Lars Tyborg in Lund, Ånimskog. 1836 he changed his employer to Lars Hansson on Hindriksholm, Ånimskog where he stayed until he got married on Jan 18, 1838 with MARIA Lisa Norling. 1838-40 they lived in Wingenäs, Ånimskog. From there they moved to Berg Västra, Ånimskog where they stayed until 1843. After that they moved to Kraksbyn, Ånimskog.
Some time between 1845 and 1849 Anders changed his last name from Pärsson to Björklund. He became a widower in 1879 and lived alone as a pauper on the spot until his death on Feb 20 1895. During the years 1876-1890 he suffered from gaut and was stated as poor. He died of old age.

Maria arrived from Upperud Nordre, Skållerud in 1838 to her husband in Wingenäs, Ånimskog.
Well, that was about it. I have more information, but it is at my sister's house since it is her ancestors and not mine. I hope you've found out something of interest.
Kind regards,
Ulrica.
