+Since Pernilla Jönsdtr, widow of Asmund Torson did not show up on the 1720 tax list, she was either too&nbsp;old to be taxed, or ill, or had died between 1711&nbsp;and 1720.&nbsp; We chose the middle point of that time period to begin searching the death records.&nbsp; We worked our way from 1715 to 1719.&nbsp; On 24 Apr 1719 the entry was found which reads, "Cast earth upon Pernilla, Asmun Torsson' (who) died 18th of the same month, age 68 years" = born @1651.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
+Depending upon when Asmund and Pernilla married, (between @1671 and 1681 when Elena was born), there could be several more children belonging to the familiy.&nbsp; In fact, we know from the catechism records and the tax lists Elena had at least two siblings, Boeld and Kierstene.

+Pernilla's child bearing years could range from @1664 to @1702.&nbsp; Accordingly, the first searches in the christening records of Vastra Karaby ran from 1688, when the records began, to 1703.&nbsp; Three additional siblings were found - Lars, Gertru and Jöns!&nbsp;&nbsp;There could have been 2 to 3 more born between&nbsp;!1681 when Elena was probably born to 1688 - they will only be picked up if they survived and married, or, can be identified working on someone else's farm in the tax lists.

+Jöns Torsson, Amund's brother, and&nbsp;Jöns' wife Gertru disappeared off the tax rolls between 1705 and 1709.&nbsp; Searches of the death records began in 1705 since, if the tax list was taken early in the year, they could have died the latter part of the year. As the records show, both of them died in 1708.&nbsp; "10 Apr 1708 buried&nbsp;Jöns Torsson's wife Giertrud who died&nbsp;the 1st of April&nbsp; (after)&nbsp;becoming sick on 25 March.&nbsp; Age 66 years &amp; 20 weeks"&nbsp;= born @ Nov 1641.&nbsp;

+Take note that here again, the surname of the deceased wife is not listed - only the fact that she was&nbsp;Jöns Torsson's wife.&nbsp;&nbsp; We only know her surname because it wasy given in the one year's catechism lists.&nbsp; If you want to get the whole story, and all the facts, you need to search every available record.

+"The 4th Dec (1708) cast earth upon&nbsp;Jöns Torsson of Henckelstorp who in the night between the 25th and 26th of November died; many years sick, bedridden 1 month.&nbsp; Age 85 years" = born @1623.

+When&nbsp;Jöns Torsson and his brother Asmund Torsson's information is plotted out, ie.&nbsp;Jöns Torsson born @1623 and Asmund born @ 1644 as per their ages at death, it appears&nbsp;these two brothers may be the first and at least among the last&nbsp;children of Tor and Hanna.
