Martin, Thank you so much for this information. I have enough trouble tracking them when they stay in the same parish. This family kept moving. I assume they were poor and had no land. They went wherever they could find work. I just discovered that Olof Tholsson married again, but he died not long after his second marriage. When children were orphaned, did the church find homes for them or did other relatives take them in? In this case John and his youngest brother Olof were both living on Gryttved, but they were listed on different pages of the HFL. Would that seem to indicate that they were living with different families? Jon was old enough to work on the farm (12 or 13), but his brother was only 4 or 5. Thank you.
