Biography

There is a long obituary for Fru Anna Falck, detailing her life events: Anna was born in the village of Ellne in April 1686. Her father was farmer Zacharias Andersson in Ellne, her mother was Anna Jönsdotter. By serving with distinguished people she earned herself the advantage of a Christian marriage to fändriken at Helsinge batallion, Herr Olof Falck, with whom she lived for 40 years and had 8 sons and 4 daughters. After the death of her husband she moved back to this parish (Söderala), living for 24 years as a quiet and godfearing widow. She died from old age 14 September 1768.^[1]

From the obituary of her daughter Anna we know that the family of Olof Falck lived in Ljusdal parish when she was born, and that Olof Falck died in 1747.^[2] Sergeant Olof Svensson Falck had a son, Sven, 17 November 1707.^[3] They may have moved from Ljusdal.
