Halvar Andersson

  Research Notes:

Summary: there is a conflict regarding the father of Halvar Andersson (b 1670). A couple of sources suggest that the father was Anders Halvarsson b 1616, BUT other sources record his father as Anders Halvarsson born 1640. At this point (20 Apr 2020), I am not sure if there will be a way to determine the birth of the father. It is likely his name was Anders Halvarsson but his birth is unknown.

It is most likely that Halvar Andersson's (b 1670) mother was Marit and that she was born about 1638 and died 1727.

-- This database records the children of Halvor Andersson (b 1670) and then only records some of the descendants of son, Anders Halvorsson (b 1702) ;;; see media doc for son Halvar Andersson (b 1670) (from PDF sheet on my PC, Skaret folders)
AND records that Halvor Andersson (b 1670) remarries to Kerstin Halvarsdotter (1682-1754) about 1715 and they have three children
;;; see media doc for son Halvar Andersson (b 1670) (from PDF sheet on my PC, Skaret folders) - this is actually a descendant report

****** I have found that this data base is fairly accurate and much can be collaborated with the Ytterhogdal (and later Los) parish records.
