The last birth on the right side, Apr. 1, is the only Maria I found born to an Olof in 1759. The mother is Maria Samuelsdotter, which was the name of the wife in the HFL I just asked about. (Tys. AI:8 (1786-1790) Image 188/ page 181) The handwriting for this birth entry is beyond my ability. Can anyone read it? Does it tell the father's position and where they lived? Thank you. Annette

April 1 (1759) was born "Byggmästaren" (the master builder) Olof Olofsson's and Maria Samuelsdotter's daughter Maria, baptised the 6th ditto. Witnesses... There doesn't seem to be an address, perhaps you can trace them backwards in the HFL volumes instead.
