Sköldberga 1643-1782

Profile manager: Eva Ekeblad [send private message]

The making of this page has been a great tool for untangling some confusing relationships: families swapping homes, pairs of brothers marrying pairs of sisters - and "everybody" being named Lars or Karin. It doesn't help that there is a gap in the marriage records for Fellingsbro between 1671 and 1690 and a gap in the death records between 1675 and 1690. Nor does it help that wives are usually only mentioned by first name (or no name) in the cathechism examination records for the early 1700s. From 1746 things are better.
