Research Notes

• Need Swedish Birth and Baptism Record

No birth record has been located in Veddige before 1770 (on RiksArkivet).

• Need Substantiated Identification of her Parents - hopefully the birth/baptismal record will be found and parent names provided
• Need Marriage Record has been found in Veddige before 1770 (on RiksArkivet). I have not attempted to find elsewhere.
