Thank you, Bo. That is what I needed. Unfortunately the HFLs in Knista do not begin until 1769. Is there any other way to find out about Maria's family? Thank you.

There is a soldier Anders A. Östing at Övre Ödesta's properties in AD Knista AI:1 (1769-1776) Image 53 / page 48 (AID: v51621.b53.s48, NAD: SE/ULA/10527). But he seems too young to be Maria Andersdotter's father? But perhaps her father still lives in Knista, if he is alive in 1769 I see maria's presumed father Anders Östfält at Övre Östa as soldier number 351, number 22 in the Major's company, age 36, married, in AD Generalmönsterrullor - Närke och Värmlands regemente 181 (1737-1737) Image 130 / page 131 (AID: v46626.b130.s131, NAD: SE/KrA/0023) Then in AD Generalmönsterrullor - Närke och Värmlands regemente 182 (1739-1739) Image 61 (AID: v46627.b61, NAD: SE/KrA/0023). Then in AD Generalmönsterrullor - Närke och Värmlands regemente 185 (1754-1754) Image 99 / page 187 (AID: v46630.b99.s187, NAD: SE/KrA/0023). Here he is 60 years old, and is discharged after 30 years service. So you can also look for him in the death records. // Bo Johansson
