Anders Halvarsson

  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 (b 1670) mother was Marit and that she was born about 1638 and died 1727.
