Jöns Torsson, Amund's brother, and Jöns' wife Gertru disappeared off the tax rolls between 1705 and 1709. 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. "10 Apr 1708 buried Jöns Torsson's wife Giertrud who died the 1st of April (after) becoming sick on 25 March. Age 66 years & 20 weeks" = born @ Nov 1641. | Jöns Torsson, Amund's brother, and Jöns' wife Gertru disappeared off the tax rolls between 1705 and 1709.

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

If any of Jöns and Asmund's siblings i.e. people surnamed "Torsson/Tordson" married in Västra Karaby, a search of those records could add more information to the family tree. The catechism lists had provided the name of at least one probable sister, "Nilla Torsdtr" wife of Jöns Christensson. There could be others, so a search of the marriage records ensued. | If any of Jöns and Asmund's siblings i.e. people surnamed "Torsson/Tordson" married in Västra Karaby, a search of those records could add more information to the family tree. The catechism lists had provided the name of at least one probable sister, "Nilla Torsdtr" wife of Jöns Christensson. There could be others, especially if a spouse had died and they had re-married, so a search of the marriage records ensued, covering the time period 1691 (when they began) to 1722. | ||
No groom nor bride surnamed Torsson or Thorson nor Tordson was found in that time period. However, marriages of the children and possible children of both Asmund and Jöns Torsson were found and duly noted. | |||
