The next available list was 1680 where we started the search in the tax lists. (See Step 4) It is interesting to note that both Jöns Torson and Asmund Torson are listed as single taxables i.e. no wives being taxed. Perhaps that is the year Jôns first wife died, and Asmund had not yet married.

However, we wanted to find more to now fill in the outline. | Remember, we began the study by trying to find the birth place of Elena Asmundsdotter.
