Beyond Parish Registers:A Case Study: Difference between revisions

1705 p. 587  Hänkelstorp '''(Note:  Book burned - parts missing around the edges''')      Adding such pieces of information to your extracts and/or research logs is adviseable, as it lets you know why pieces of information that logically should be in that record couldn't be found and/or read.  

        #2  Jöns Torson 1, (wife) Gertru _ 1, _ _ Niels (farmhand)1 = 3 taxables,  

The parish register deaths show Asmon Torsson died betweeen 4th & 5th of Jan, 1711, having been sick for 8 days.  He was buried on 11 Jan, and was listed as age 67 = born @ 1643/4.      

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

A search of the parish register deaths showed the latter was the case.  "Pernilla, widow of Asmun Torson died 18 Apr and was buried 24 Apr 1719, age 68" = born @ 1651.  

Now we had a partial family structure - more records could be searched to try and add generations!
