The exploration of 100 Circles
- contributes to our knowledge of the Global WikiTree
- investigates the connectedness of the chosen focus profiles
This page presents Anna Larsdotter (1793 - 1875)' and her perspective on the Global Tree.

At the start of the 100 Circles project in November 2022 Olof Andersson was one of the chosen focus profiles. When the main presentation page of the project was made over in February 2024 to showcase 12 focus profiles of women it was natural to let Anna Larsdotter take the place of her husband. Being wife and husband they can be expected to occupy very similar places in the Global Tree. As of Feb 10 2024 they both have a mean distance of 24.5 to other connected profiles.

Anna Larsdotter and her husband

Anna Larsdotter was born 25 April 1793 to Lars Hansson in Lärsäter and his wife Brita Jonsdotter. She married Olof Andersson in 1813. They had eight children together. None of them had a second spouse.

  • Anna had five sisters and three brothers. Two sisters and one brother died in childhood. One sister has so far not been traced after adolescence. This leaves four siblings who married and had children.
  • Olof had four sisters and six brothers. Three sisters and one brother died in childhood. One brother married but had no children. This leaves five siblings who married and had children. This probably gives Olof an advantage over Anna in terms of CC7.

Anna's family tree is complete for the four generations shown in the basic WikiTree view so at that point it is slightly better filled out than the tree of her husband, where there is one missing link in the fourth generation.

Olof and Anna were farmers in a fairly endogamic area of Sweden:

Anna Larsdotter and CC7

However, when it comes to their CC7 (number of profiles with in their first seven circes), Olof will have an advantage over Anna, since there has been active work on completing his circles, while Anna's circles have just been filled in as a side effect. On Feb 9 Anna's CC7 table looked like this, summing up to a total of 5241:

Degrees 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Connections 19 78 311 710 1032 1301 1790
Total 19 97 408 1118 2150 3451 5241

Olof's table looked like this, summing up to a total of 6126 (945 more than Anna):

Circle 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Profiles 21 98 423 950 1015 1453 2226
Total 21 119 542 1492 2507 3960 6186

Adding just one profile to Anna's fourth circle - it must have been something like discovering a marriage into an already profiled family - had the effect of increasing her total to 5344:

Circle 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Profiles 19 78 311 711 1039 1324 1862
Total 19 97 408 1119 2158 3482 5344

The same profile was in Olof's fifth circle, increasing his total to 6208 (864 more than Anna):

Circle 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Profiles 21 98 423 950 1016 1460 2240
Total 21 119 542 1492 2508 3968 6208

So there is a lot of work to do if Anna is going to catch up to Olof.

Any additions in paths going through their children will add to the circles of both wife and husband. The same goes for additions along the paths going through Anna's brother Per Larsson, in his marriage with Olof's sister Anna Andersdotter.

Three married siblings of Anna Larsdotter remain to be explored for additions to Anna's seventh circle: Stina Larsdotter (three husbands, five children), Anders Larsson (one wife, five children) and Brita Larsdotter (one husband, six children).

Anna's aunts, and uncles, great-aunts and great-uncles provide other avenues - we'll see what endogamy does for the pursuit.
