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.

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

It is hoped this case study will give you encouragement, and help you to go after records you don't normally use, to find those lost ancestors and family members, even if the parish has been burned, or the records lost, or otherwise seemintly beginning too late to help you.&nbsp; Patience and persistence do pay off.

Obviously, such a study will not necessarily work if your ancestor is named Ola Olsson, and there are 4 or more of them in the parish at the same time.&nbsp;&nbsp;however, you don't know until you try - so, GO FOR IT!!!
