Born 17 Sep 1793, baptised 19 Sep, name Maria, parents Nils Andersson and Maria Andersdotter, address Lieutenantsgården Bäck. But I don't see a Bäck Löjtnantsgård in the placename index of AI:5 1775-1787 or AI:6 1806-1814. Perhaps you can trace her backwards from Bondegård, in AD Vartofta-Åsaka AI:4 (1813-1826) Image 85 / page 157 (AID: v55615.b85.s157, NAD: SE/GLA/13616). // Bo Johansson

Continuing with this family, I found Maria with her mother and stepfather in HFLs back to 1813. I couldn't find them in the previous one so I started in that year looking for marriages. I found a marriage that matched for Jöns And. age 30 and Maria And. age 44 in 1809 27/12 . (Vartofta-Åsaka EI:1 (1764-1849) Image 35/page 59) She was a widow and the ages seem to fit. I then looked for a death record for Nils Andersson and found one in 1805 21/5. (Vartofta-Åsaka CI:4 (1764-1849) Image 165.page 317) It gave his age as 43 and his residence as Stenhusgl. I found what I think is the family in that place in the HFL in Vartofta-Åsaka AI:3 (1799-1812) Image 87/page 165. It says he did in 1805. the only problem is that it looks like the name is Nils Svens, born in Sandhem in 1762.

I found the family with the step-father living at Skrivaregården in the HFL for Vartofta-Åsaka AI:3 (1799-1812) Image 93/page 177. As I go blind from staring at the screen too long, I am beginning to be able to match the handwritten place names with the typed names in the indexes. Every place except the birth record gives Maria's birth date as September 15th 1793. On the birth record it says the 17th. Which would you think is correct? She was christened on the 19th.
