Hi again Bo >--- The 11th October (1791) received ("fick") the maid Anna Catharina Månsdotter certificate ("sedel") for Vinslöf, born 1774, >the mother soldier Jöns Lind's widow ("Enka") lives in Farstorp. >> >> So we have Anna moving to Vinslöv parish in 1791. She has some connection >> with Jöns Lind, but for some reason she is not his biological daughter. >--- Do you some evidence for that? Yes, in so far as his name was mentioned in her moving out record, and yet she has a different patronym. That doesn't sound biological to me. But perhaps your translation offers a new avenue of thinking. Perhaps Nils married a widow, whose first husband was Måns someone. It would explain the different patronymns, and make Anna Catharina the step-daughter of Nils. I've no proof of that of course. But in your translation (thanks for it btw) you say that Anna's mother is soldier Jöns Lind's widow. Until I find some marriages for these folk I'll not have proof. I carried on looking page by page through the moving in/out records for Farstorp and Anna Catharina moved in and out several times. She was absent from Farstorp a few months at a time. Maybe there was someone in Vinslöf she was visiting? Cheers Kevin

It was quite common that young people had their first employment as farmhand or maid at a relative's farm. Or maybe it was just easier to find jobs in Vinslöv... // Bo Johansson
