In the book of births for Furuby, C:5, 1817-1880, page 37, is 1844-07-30 Charlotta, father Peter Samuelsson mother Johanna Svensdotter living at Attsjötorp In the Hfl AI:9, 1842-1848, page 125, Attsjötorp Peter Samuelsson, born 1821-05-02 in Furuby, came 1844 from page 163 where he is noted, went 1846 to page 1xx, canŽt find him on any page above 99. Wife Johanna Svensdotter, born 1812-11-22 in Ekeberga? Son Samuel, born 1842-11-25 in Furuby D. Charlotta, born 1844-07-31 in Furuby I can not find Eva Stina 1848 or Sara Lena 1850 in the book of births for Furuby, C:5, 1817-1880, which indicates that they have moved to another parish. And as I canŽt trace the family from the Hfl, IŽm lost. Sorry. Mvh Kurt F
