I do see the farm 'Falebo' mentioned. Did mother die? > I also think I see mother is Caisja? Also the word for widow? There is a small squeezed in record: the 27th February (1786) was born Jonas Pärsons child(?) in Falebo and got (baptism??] the 29th and called Brita, witnesses ("Test."): Caissa Nilsdotter and widower ("Enkeman") Dryssling(?). Mother not mentioned, that was common in early records, where the main event was the baptism, not the birth. I think I see the family at Falebo in AD Vissefjärda AI:1 (1802-1809) Image 58 / page 99 (AID: v20295.b58.s99, NAD: SE/VALA/00426). There is a crossed-out daughter Brita, and below is Brita Jonasdotter born 1785 with husband and children, and her mother seems to be Kjerstin Börgesdotter, unless she is a step-mother. // Bo Johansson
