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.
