Carolina Aspling was | Carolina Aspling was first seen as the wife of Johan Mattsson at the time of the birth of their son Johan on 24 Dec. 1830 in Westanå village, Viksjö parish, Västernorrland County, Sweden. The birth entry says the parents lived on Westanå in an area called Stordalen. With this information the next step was to look at the household examination of Viksjö (in the village Westanå) that includes the same year of the birth. | ||

Every [[ | Every [[Sweden Household Examination Records (Husförhörslängder)|household examination]] that Carolina Aspling is listed on was looked at. The [[Swedish Moving In and Out Records (Inflyttnings och Utflyttningslängder)|moving in and out records]] in between were searched as needed (when they moved from one parish to another.) | ||
Carolina was followed in household examinations (going forward in time) from Viksjö parish until they moved to Stigsjö parish in 1831. There was no moving-in record for Stigsjö to say where to look in the Stigsjö household examination, so the entire household examination was searched page by page. Then they moved to Ljustorp parish in 1845. The moving-in record in Ljustorp says they moved to a village called Wester Frötuna. She was found in the Ljustorp household examinations in Wester Frötuna. They stayed there on each household examination until she died in 1849. The entry for Carolina in the Ljustorp death records was looked at. This completes searching each household examination from the time of their second child until Carolina passed away. | Carolina was followed in household examinations (going forward in time) from Viksjö parish until they moved to Stigsjö parish in 1831.
