With high anticipation we looked forward to the next tax years' searches. If our ancestor Elena was living at home, and was tax eligible, she should be marked as a slashmark in the "daughter" column,(the 4th space over in the lists), from 1697 on, as she would have turned 15, or taxable age, about 1696. | With high anticipation we looked forward to the next tax years' searches.

The next available tax list was 1720. The only person listed at Henckelstorp, for whom we were searching, was Anders Jönsson, Asmund Torsson's nephew, and his family. That indicates Pernilla, Asmund's wife, was either too old, or ill to be taxed, or, had also passed away. | The next available tax list was 1720.
