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.

WHERE IS ELENA?&nbsp; She was perhaps following the custom of the time i.e. going out and working&nbsp;each season for different farmers in Västra Karaby, or, perhaps even working in another parish.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's also possible she had a physical ailment which made her tax ineligible.&nbsp; Sometimes the record keeper made a note of that&nbsp;fact - sometimes not.&nbsp;

The above information translates as follows:&nbsp;&nbsp;Jöns Torson&nbsp; and his wife Gertru were now either deceased, ill, or too old to be taxed.&nbsp; Their son Anders (listed in the 1702 lists) has taken over the farm, and is probably unmarried, or, his wife is untaxable for some reason that year.

Pernilla, Asmund Torsson's wife and Elena's probable mother, is either deceased, or ill, or too old to be taxed.&nbsp; The tax list for 1710 is missing - the next available list, 1711, shows yet another change in these family structures.

As you'll note, the tax list information shows that sometime between 1709 and 1711 Asmund&nbsp;Torsson dies.&nbsp; Since the parish registers of Västra Karaby begin in 1688, that means I can search the death records, and hopefully pick up an age on him, which will give me his approximate birth year!&nbsp;&nbsp;

The parish register deaths show Asmon Torsson died betweeen 4th &amp; 5th of Jan,&nbsp;1711, having been sick for 8 days.&nbsp; He was buried on 11 Jan, and was&nbsp;listed as age 67 = born @ 1644.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

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