A quick search of the | A quick search of the FamilySearch Catalog showed the parish registers for Västra Karaby did not begin until '''1688. '''The initial thought was that maybe we weren't going to be able to go back further after all, since Elena was born about 1681 as per her age at death. | ||
Searches in the death records of Barsebäck parish continued, looking for Jöns Jönsson, Asmund's father. He died 20 Mar 1768, at age 83 = born '''about 1685'''. | Searches in the death records of Barsebäck parish continued, looking for Jöns Jönsson, Asmund's father.

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.
