re: Olof / Ole ----------------------------------------------------
Based on the household record volume for Östmark parish [AI:28 (1881-1885) Page 548, Västanå Kläggstranden]
it appears that Olof (b 1857) left for North America on 14 Feb 1888. However, it is not clear if he actually traveled at
that time. The previous household record (and some previous volumes) have some written comments that I can't make
them out.

The Bergkvist FT on ancestry records some additional information on Olof Åslund, but it does not provide any
explanation for the use of the the surname Åslund - perhaps it refers to a military name. However, the Bergkvist FT
does record a marriage record for Olof from Oviken parish in Jåmtland. Reviewing the church records for Oviken
parish on ArkivDigital, Olof had come to the farm/village of Joxåsen (page 219) on 1 Sep 1888. It is further
noted that on 11 Nov 1888 he was married to Karin Jönsdotter from Joxåsen, born 17 Apr 1863 in Oviken parish
[see Oviken parish records below].

The household record for Oviken parish [see below], also records that Olof left for North America on 26 Jan 1889.
The moving out records note that he was married.

Based on this, it is more likely that Olof intended to leave for North America in Feb 1888. He likely decided
to stay and then later went to Oviken parish where he married and he and his wife left in Jan 1889. The distance
between Oviken and Östmark is about 425 kms - perhaps with the spring of 1888 he began the treck to Oviken.
Is it possible that he had earlier served in the military in the Oviken area and at that time he met Karin?
The answer of course is unknown.

Oviken (Z), marriages; EI:2 (1863-1894) Page 39 ** date is 11 Nov 1888 and recorded under the year 1889
even though household records record marriage [gift] 5 Jan 1889
