There is a village Tursköp in Kattarp parish, Malmöhus county. There is a parish named Östraby, and several villages in other parishes named Östraby, including one in Kattarp parish. And as mentioned, there is a village named Svedberga in Kattarp parish.

I found in a record in Østfold, Norway that Johan Jacob Jacobsen was born 1836 in Bohuslän, Sweden. I see that this is in Gøtland and is next to Østfold, Norway. How would I find a parish for his birth? Thanks for any suggestions. Virginia Lindsey

Hello Barbara, There are no HFLs for Kattarp prior to 1813 and I see no moving records prior to 1850. I found no parish named Turskiöp or Småkãrshuset nor are there a locations by that name in the 1813 HFL. (õ is not a character in the Swedish alphabet.) There is a parish named _Ö_straby in Malmöhus county, the same county where Kattarp is found. Found Sv(w)edberga is a location in Kattarp parish. I am looking to see what I can learn about Sven Larsson, but would like to know how you know how many children these people had. -- *Lo in Flo Lois Kälander Casson Pensacola, Florida USA* On 5/14/2014 4:50 AM, Barbara & Leon Rochoy wrote: > Hi there > > > > Please, could some kind soul help me, in tracing family groups in the > 1700's.

Hi there Please, could some kind soul help me, in tracing family groups in the 1700’s. I only have access to Family Search and I have discovered that the “ Husfõrhõrslängd” and “inflyttning and utflyttning” records don’t go back then. Should you be able to help me, please , it would be very much appreciated, as I really would like to trace these families as far back as I can. They are: 1. Jonas Håkanson (Turskiõp) married Kattarp 29 Sep 1750 Bengta Pãrsdotter (Turskiõp) They had 6 Children 2. Sassar Jepson (Småkãrshuset) married Kattarp 8 Nov 1741 Elna Eriksdotter (Turskiõp) They had 12 Children 3. Lars Jõnsson(Ostraby) married Kattarp 5 Nov 1749 Elna Joonsdotter (Swedberg) They had 5 children Their son 3a. Sven Larsson….Born 6 Sep 1752(Svedberg) Died 30 Aug 1832 (Svedberg) married……………………………………….Kierstena Nilsdotter… Born…………………………. Died 20 April 1808 (Svedberg) They had 7 Children. Please would you also be able to help me with Kierstena’s family. I am able to find any Birth / Baptism records, as these are available through the LDS library. Any help would be very much appreciated Thanking You Barbara

Do you have pictures of their relatives on this side of the pond?:} Those and an accompaning bio of each? Perhaps an item that signifies where they were living - as an example, if they lived in New Hampshire, a box off Maple Sugar "candies". Or Massachusetts it might be some dried cranberries.

Thanks, Barbara. Great suggestions. They all ended up in Colorado where I was born and raised. Maybe I should bring them some Rocky Mountain oysters (just kidding). I do have photographs and bios. I'll be sure to bring them along.

Hi Virginia, Try looking in Järna Parish. Many of the farms that you mentioned are there. I'll see if I can find the two names that you have listed. Good luck!
