Avey Rangborg Skaret

   Another name for Avey was Avy Skaret.²⁸

  Research Notes:

1. Birth:

- "The Centennial Reunion and Memoirs of the Skaret Family" indicates birth as Los, Sweden.
- - "Olea Jensdatter Ostby and Peder Paulsen Grambo, Descendants and their History" indicates birth as Rullbo, Los in Halsingland, Sweden.

2. Swedish Church Records [ acessed 14 Jan 2011 on ancestry, then in 2015 and 2017 on Arkivdigital.net]

Los parish, Gälveborg County: Födde [ births ], 1890; p 4, line 61 Los births, C:4, image 37 no 61 [ Arkivdigital ]

13 Sept 1890, Avy Rangborg, oäkta [ born before the marriage of parents ]; mother - Brukaresdotter. Kristina Ericksdotter, Hiviåsen
- no father is listed
- the records also have a column for Civilstånd [ martial status ], with two other columns, one for Ätka and Oäkta - Ätka translated is true, authentic, real; legitmate is translated to Swedish as legitima
- but the column for Avy is clearly marked for Oäkta

- under Modren column [mother]
-- column checked for ej gift [ translated as not married ]; age 19 [ ålders - år ] <1871>
- the far right column has something written, but I can't make it out and I also have not tried to translate the column heading [ 14 Jan 2011; this is likely from Ancestry.com and the SCB extract sheets ]

- in the Los parish Church books (C:4), witnesses: Per Halvorsson and wife Johanna Persdotter in Rulbo; Anders Persson and piga Gurine Skaaret in Grufbyn (Ole Olsen Skaaret's sister) (Gurine and Anders Persson were married on 2 Nov 1890); August Wallen or Hallen in Grufbyn, Erika Eriksdotter in Hiviåsen (Kristina's sister); Elin and Jon Olof Magnusson in Rulbo


BUT: in Ole and Kristina's marriage record (19 Jul 1891), Kristina is recorded as "Brukaredottorn", so with this it is likely that the meaning is 'farmer's daughter'


**** See, my document "Marriage - oäkta" initally written on 19 Jan 2019 with some additions on 2 Mar 2019, and 18 Apr 2020. Saved on, my PC and temporary under Family Genealogy, 'z folder' ]

The most reasonable Conclusion is Avey was born on 13 Sept 1890, close to a year before Ole Skaret and Kristina Eriksdotter were married on 19 Jul 1891. [ Genealogy Proof Standard - the most original documents from [the Sweden Church and parish records ]

[2 Mar 2019]
"oäkta":
So, the most realistic phrasing is that my grandmother, Avey Rangborg Skaret, "was born before marriage of her parents."

As I have indicated, a child being born before the marriage of the parents was relatively common, and in a great many of the situations, the parents were later married. The Swedish parish priests most often used the word oäkta and rarely the term "trolovningsbarn". In my documentation, I have usually used the translation as "born out of wedlock" or "born outside of marriage", but the more correct, and probably more accurate, is "born before marriage of parents".

ancestry.com - public family tree --- owner "bonniewolfe809", accessed 11 Jan 2011
- states: "Avey had a stroke the summer of 1958, leaving her speech impaired. Jan 1960 she suffered another stroke and died Mar 6, 1960"

HOWEVER, Hay Lakes history book, 425-427, records this. THEREFORE, this is true. I submitted this entry - but dad would have confirmed much of the information.
