Hello, I am researching Brita Bengsdotter of Skepplanda whose husband, Bòrje Jonssonk, died on 9 Jan 1763, the beginning year for this HFL. I have found her marriage record and the birth records for four children. The first died, the remaining three, all daughters, Marit 18, Kerstin 14, and Anna 10. The Brita Bengsdotter (middle of left page) has the potential for being the Brita I am looking, though here children were obviously living elsewhere. I cannot read the left marginal note or what is written to the left of her name. Would appreciate someone translating for me. Skepplanda AI:1 (1763-1769) Image 23 / page 35 (AID: v15543.b23.s35, NAD: SE/GLA/13477) Thanks in advance for the help, Lo in Flo

The address is Skepplanda (the village). > > I have found her marriage record and the birth records for four > children.

Not impossible, but they usually didn't marry before age 20. In the left margin is "Backstuga utan utsäde(??)" (cottage without seed?), the address seems to be Guntorp Nordgården. // Bo Johanson
