Research Notes

The family used Assarsson as a frozen patronymic family name, see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Early_frozen_patronymics_Sweden. This is shown by the fact that Lars Assarsson's grandchildren and great-grandchildren used Assarsson as family name even if their father wasn't named Assar (for example all Lorentz children and grandchildren and Assars grandchildren). Several marriage records show this (for example Maria 1741 in Kastlösa, Greta Elisabeth 1751 in Mörbylånga and Margaretha 1751) Most records show this (for example household records, population censuses, marriage records and estate records) but some, mainly death records, still uses patronymic name even if previous marriage record showed Assarsson as family name even for females.
