Can someone please clarify for me. Skattegården is a farm in Malma parish, Skaraborg county (R = Skaraborg). There is no farm or village named Askjum in the older records, but Skattegården and Gäddegården are in the Askjum "rote" (~household examination ward) in Malma parish. It is not until the 1890-1898 HFL that there is an "Askjum" in the place-name index. Malma AI:8 (1890-1898) Image 4 (AID: v10006.b4, NAD: SE/GLA/13358). // Bo Johansson
