Searches in the birth/christening records of Västra Karaby parish produced two siblings - a sister Tyre born in 1715, and an older brother Jöns who was born and died in 1717. An additional 5 years search in the parish showed this named couple had no more children there - adding weight to the conclusion they were the couple found in Barsebäck parish registers, from 1718 on. The supposition is also supported by the fact that a 10 year search previous to 1718 showed there was not another couple of the same name who were having children in Barsebäck parish before that year, which is when Asmund Jönsson was born. | Searches in the birth/christening records of Västra Karaby parish produced two siblings - a sister Tyre born in 1715, and an older brother Jöns who was born and died in 1717.
