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 died in Barsebäck parish - but she wasn't born there. Her death record stated, "born as a child in Henckelstorp, Västra Karaby parish," To this point, that huge 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. However, we wanted to find more to now fill in that outline. | Remember, we began the study by trying to find the birth place of Elena Asmundsdotter.

These types of records do not exist for all areas of Sweden, but, as will be seen, they can be of great value when extant. They appear to be the foreunner of the ''Husförhörslängder'' (Clerical surveys). Since the purpose of the Catechism record 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> | These types of records do not exist for all areas of Sweden, but, as will be seen, they can be of great value when extant.
