The 1666 and 1668 lists were so faint, no names could be read - there was just a line here, a blob of ink there. Perhaps in the originals more could be read. That does happen sometimes, considering these records are over 300 years old. | The 1666 and 1668 lists were so faint, no names could be read - there was just a line here, a blob of ink there.

Jôns Torson and wife (1 1 _ _ _) appear in the extant 1670, 1671, 1672, and 1675 lists - still residing at Henckelstorp. In 1672, a possible brother of Jôns and Asmund appears i.e. a Måns Thorson and wife, also listed at Henckelstorp. They did not appear before that, and they never appear after. That shows again why <u>'''''it is so very important''''' | Jôns Torson and wife (1 1 _ _ _) appear in the extant 1670, 1671, 1672, and 1675 lists - still residing at Henckelstorp.

The next available list was 1680 where we started, Jôns Torson and Asmund Torson are both listed as single taxables i.e. no wives being taxed. Perhaps that is the year Jôns wife died, and Asmund had not yet married. We can't say for sure, as the parish registers don't exist, but, the supposition has some merit. | The next available list was 1680 where we started, Jôns Torson and Asmund Torson are both listed as single taxables i.e. no wives being taxed.

The catechism records were those next searched. A study of the record shows it listed heads of household where a confirmation age child (children) resided, whether that was their own child (children), or the farmhands and farmgirls working for them, It is possible the head of the house was responsible for seeing that these young people knew their Lutheran catechism. | The catechism records were those next searched.
