Vena socken life mid-19th century

[Larry Danielson]

My great-grandmother, Lena Sofia Svensdotter, was from Fruvik, near Hultsfred, Vena socken, and she married a soldier, Nils Gustaf Krig, to live in Tuna socken, in the village (?) of Stockhult (?).  I'm interested in any kind of information about daily life, topography, life on a soldier's torp, etc. in this area.  My great-grandmother's father was a brukare and she worked as a pigge before marriage.

It was not Stockhult it was Höckhult.
A brukare was a farmer and piga is maid.

Thanks very much for the correction for the place name and the spelling of piga!  Was Höckhult a small village?  Thanks again.  --Larry

I think Höckhult was a hamlet.

Thanks again, Bertil!  The photo of Vena church is beautiful and most welcome. More questions to come in 2008.  Happy Holidays!  --Larry
