>I am sure you have this information, but I post it afterall..... Hello Laila, Thank you so much. I did have most of this but not the birth and deaths of Mathias or the parents of Marta. Do you know how I could verify that this is my Mathias? Olaus Mathiason b. 1813 was my gggrandfather. I had not seen the Olaus born in 1811, but I assume that he must have died.
