    3. My question is, are Måns and Magnus very similar names? Even interchangeable? Back on 5 July 2015 I requested a PLF database lookup for an Anna Catharina Månsdotter, who in Farstorp records was recorded as born Kalmar in 1774 with a patronym of Månsdotter. Martin kindly provided a list but this Anna wasn't amongst them (with a father named Måns). This week I have found a Farstorp death and burial in 1844 for an Anna Cathrina Magnidotter, aged 60. This was on ddss.nu, and I discovered that whenever I search for patronyms of Månsdotter I also got results for Magnusdotter, Magnidotter, etc. And vice versa. So I subscribed to AD once again and found Anna Catrina Magnidotter living at Gammalstorp, Farstorp. Sure enough, she is recorded as having been born in Kalmar in 1775, and is quite possibly the same person. Farstorp AI:6 (1840-1850) Image 30, Page 25. Looking back at Martin's list of names I see just one possible match in Post ARB-F-3174. Anna Catharina, Född 4/7 1774 i Resby, Arby (H), Far Bremselius, Magnus, Comminister, Mor (Ingen namnuppgift). Googling suggests this Anna Catharina was the daughter of Magnus Bremselius and Emerentia Menell, and that she died 13 Dec 1801. So she might not be the girl in the Farstorp register, who died 1844. Thanks Kevin
