But if she was 18 1/2 years old in October 1793, she should have been born around April 1775, not 1774. Age 22 in 1797 would also make her born in 1775 rather than 1774. But some small errors in age were not unusual, so you should check both 1774 and 1775, or perhaps 1773-1776. There is a PLF database for Kalmar county (including the Kalmar parishes), but I don't have it. Perhaps you can ask on the list for a look-up. // Bo Johansson
