The first available list was dated 1658. Living at Henkelstorp was "Jenns Tordsen, (his) wife, (a) female farmhand, and Tord Andersen and wife. The name "Tord" is not the most common of names, so, we took a bit of license and made the assumption, until otherwise proved false, this was probably Jöns and Asmund Tordson (Torsson's) father.

The next available list was 1680 where we started the search in the tax lists. '''''(See Step 4)''''' It is interesting to note that both Jöns Torson and Asmund Torson are listed as single taxables i.e. no wives being taxed. Perhaps that is the year Jôns first wife died, and Asmund had not yet married. We can't say for sure, as the parish registers don't exist, but, it is something to consider. | The next available list was 1680 where we started the search in the tax lists.
