*''Asmund Jönsson ''was born 11 Sep 1718 in Barsebäck parish, Malmohus County, Sweden to Jöns Jönsson and his wife Elena Asmundsdotter.

*His parents, ''Jöns Jönsson ''and ''Elena Asmundsdotter ''were not married in Barsebäck, though the records existed for the probable time period that would have taken place. That could mean Elena was from another parish since it was the custom to marry in the bride's home parish. It could also mean that they both originated from another place, since it was the custom to have all or most the children in the groom's home parish. | *His parents, ''Jöns Jönsson ''and ''Elena Asmundsdotter ''were not married in Barsebäck, though the records existed for the probable time period that would have taken place.

Since no clues existed as to whether Asmund was the last of 12 children, the only child of his parents, or somewhere in the middle of the family, searches through the death records looking for his parents had to begin with his birth date. | Since no clues existed as to whether Asmund was the last of 12 children, the only child of his parents, or somewhere in the middle of the family, searches through the death records looking for his parents had to begin with his birth date. | ||
Elena Asmundsdotter's death was found 30 years after her son Asmund was born, i.e. 23 Apr 1745. The age at death was given as "approximaely age 64." That means Elena was born about'''1681'''. The death entry also stated.... "barnfödd i Henckelstorp." That place did not show up in the parish listings of Sweden, meaning it was not a record keeping jurisdiction, but a smaller place. To check if a place name is a parish, you can consult the Swedish parish listing in the FamilySearch wiki. | Elena Asmundsdotter's death was found 30 years after her son Asmund was born, i.e. 23 Apr 1745.

Unfortunately, a new minister had moved into Barsebäck parish by that time, and birth places were no longer being listed in the death records. The presumption had to be made at that point that Jöns Jönsson had at least resided in the area of Västra Karaby parish for a short while in order to have met his wife Elena, even if he wasn't born there. | Unfortunately, a new minister had moved into Barsebäck parish by that time, and birth places were no longer being listed in the death records.

Searching backwards from the date of Jöns and Elena's marriage, the following was found. "On 11 Jun 1712, Boel, the illegitimate daughter of "Asmon Tors.(son's)" dotter Elena from Henchelstorp and the soldier Mattis Hall, reportedly in Captain Vrangel's Company, Vestmanlan Regiments, was christened." A further note in this entry indicates Elena was publicly absolved of her sin on 23 Nov 1712, at which time she had the district court's resolution or judgement in her posession. | Searching backwards from the date of Jöns and Elena's marriage, the following was found.

The initial search through the tax rolls covered 1680-1720. It should be noted here as a point of research procedure - once you begin searching tax lists, search a VERY wide time frame, and do not skip years! A remark made one year, or a name found in one year's list may NEVER show up again. | The initial search through the tax rolls covered 1680-1720.

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.
