I would like help reading a birth record of Olof Jonsson born 24 Nov 1806 Föllinge, Jämtland found at 1806 - 1861 (C:3) image 11 on Ancestry.com, page 11. The parents seem to have interesting last names. Brenda in Seattle

Thank you for research on this, Bo. Was the soldier Olof Svedberg, Olof Jonsson's GRANDfather? And Olof Jonsson's father, Jonas, kept the last name of Svedberg? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bo Johansson" <bo.h.johan56@telia.com> To: <sweden@rootsweb.com>J Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2012 2:13 AM Subject: Re: [SWEDEN] Olof Jonsson born 24 Nov 1806 Föllinge, Jämtland Brenda wrote 2012-12-02 01:34: > > I would like help reading a birth record of Olof Jonsson born 24 Nov > 1806 Föllinge, Jämtland found at 1806 - 1861 (C:3) image 11 on > Ancestry.com, page 11.
