The Williams_AndersForWikiTree.ged is notorious for being a concoction of bad data. The person who imported it is no longer a member.

I have corrected numerous post-1500 profiles from this import, which has pieced together families from very different parts of Sweden, based on name similarities. There are also many bogus or uninterpretable location names. Occasionally I find that birth data and death data from two different persons have been combined into one profile.

It is easy to do this kind of genealogy at Ancestry - I think you can acquire a whole new branch from a single bad match.

If I may guess, "Henry" may be a distortion of "Eindridi", there would be a vague similarity in English, I think.

Unfortunately I can't provide much assistance. I looked for any documents to verify an identity and couldn't find anything.

Einarsson-59 and Einarsson-34 appear to represent the same person because: No one called Henry Einarsson has been found nor is likely. Thought after discussion to represent his brother Eindride.

Perhaps the two individuals who had this in their gedcoms can assist.

Given name not known from the Sagas. Very suspicious.
