I don't think Sven Johansson was born in Gunnarsjo parish, but moved there after he was married. And, I apologize, HFLs showed he was born in 1781, not 1881, as I had previously stated. His marriage record (at Stravalla, Genline ID 1842.15.63500) lists him as coming from Syllinge(farm) in Veddige parish, and lists his parents as Jons Holmberg and Martha Larsdoter. Immigration records (Inflytting) show a Sven Jonson born in Ahs parish in 1777 (GID 1867.10.67500)but I cannot find a birth record there (checked 1775-1785)other than one in 1779 (GID 1867.5.85400)where the child's name is Sven Jonsson but mother and father's name is not what was on his marriage record. In fact, it is difficult to read what their first names are, I can make out that the last names are Jonasson and Andersdotter.
Again, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
