Bo, After a little more searching I think I have found that Anna Arfvedsdotter (could that be a version of Arvid?) had two husbands. I found a Anna Arfvedsdotter listed as the mother of Johannes and father Jonas Nessor (' over the "o") (BirthCI:2 1750-1791 p 53 image 33) (born 11 Nov 1769) and this child dies ? March 1771 (Deaths CI:2 1745-1779 p.195 image 110) I think that Anna was married to Jonas and then to Andreas or to the other order...so I don't know which. I am so confused since the HFL does not have clear dates. I think perhaps this is beyond understanding.
