Can anyone help me with this? I am looking for the parish(es) for the farms of Skålo, Nordanåker, Hed, Snöån,Ut(pp)sälje, Myrbacke, Norret, Storbyn,Kils Socken and Prästgarden. I think these farms are somewhat near Falun. I have been searching for some time and have gotten nowhere. I am looking for Gudmunds Erik Andersson b. 1837 and Jonas (Jon) Matsson b. 1798 Thank you for any suggestions.. Virginia Lindsey

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!

There is no Kil parish in Kopparberg county, but there are parishes named Visnums-Kil, Stora Kil and Kila in Värmland county, Kila in Örebro county, Västmanland county and Södermanland county, and Rasbokil in Uppsala county. Could Skålo be Skålö? There is a village Skålö in Järna parish, Kopparberg county. There is a village Snöån in Norrbärke parish, and a river/creek in Järna parish. There are several Nordanåker, including in Järna, Malung, Gustafs, Borlänge, Stora Tuna, and Gustafs parishes. Utsälje and/or Uppsälje are in Järna. Myrbacka is in Järna, then there are places named Myrbacken in several parishes. There is a Norret in Sundborn parish, but places named Noret in several parishes, including Järna. There are places named Storbyn in Järna, By, Gagnef, Malung, Nås, Våmhus, and Äppelbo parishes. "Prästgården" means the priest's farm, and would exist in many parishes. Unfortunately, there is a gap 1810-1837 in the Järna birth records... // Bo Johansson
