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.  We can't say for sure, as the parish registers don't exist, but, the supposition has some merit.

=== Sixth Research Step:  Look for and search other records which could help add other information and possible new family members. ===
=== Sixth Research Step:  Look for and search other types of extant records which could contain information on the ancestral family  ===


Remember, we began the study by trying to find the birth place of Elena Asmundsdotter.  She was the mother of the direct ancestor, Asmund Jönsson, who was born in Barsebäck parish.  Elena also died in Barsebäck parish - but she wasn't born there.  The clue found in her death record in Barsebäck parish, plus information found in the church registers of Västra Karaby parish, plus the tax list information has given a good outline of her ancestry to this point.  However, we wanted to find more to now fill in the outline.

These types of records do not exist for all areas of Sweden, but, as will be seen, they can be&nbsp;of great value.&nbsp; They appear to be the foreunner of the ''Husförhörslängder'' (Clerical surveys).&nbsp; Since their purpose was to list the names of, or at least indicate there were young people of confirmation age in training, not every person in the household will be named or marked.<br>


A study of the catechism record for&nbsp;Västra Karaby parish show, that at least here,&nbsp;the format was to list the&nbsp;heads of household and the names&nbsp;where a confirmation age child (children) resided, whether that was their own child (children), or the farmhands and farmgirls working for them, It is possible the head of the house was responsible for seeing that these young people knew their Lutheran catechism.

For&nbsp;Västra Karaby parish the lists useful for our searches were those of&nbsp;1696 (no date), 13 Jun 1699 and 4 Jul 1701.&nbsp; Each list was completley searched.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the names of the farms and villages were not listed, so we&nbsp;searched for the first and patronymic names we knew.&nbsp;&nbsp;As was hoped, the information found did allow us to&nbsp;fill in more of the family members!:
