Nils Persson

   Another name for Nils was Nils Pehrsson.

  Research Notes:

Introduction: Nils Persson's daughter was Kjerstin Nilsdotter (born 1823). She married Jonas/Jon Andersson (b 1819) and they were the parents of Kjerstin Jönsdotter (Avey Skaret's grandmother).
For many years Nils Persson had a farm at Kårböleskog, about 20 kms north of the Los, Sweden.

The following is part of a larger document that I written, "Nils Persson (b 1796) Ancestors and Descendants" (23 Apr 2018)

Nils Persson's (b 1796) descendants

Nils Persson was born in 1796 at Kårböleskog. In 1821 he married Karin Andersdotter (born 1792). The exact location of the marriage is a bit uncertain, possibly at home Kårböleskog or at the church/chapel at Kårböle, since Karin Andersdotter was from there (marriage record at time is recorded in the Färila parish book). Nils Persson worked mostly in the forest, and he also likely hunted and fished. Kårböleskog is forest country with little agriculture. They likely had a small garden along with a small areas for grazing for a cow or two and some sheep. For a period of time Nils Persson was also known as Nils Skoglund (forest grove).

Nils Persson (b 1796) father was Per Nilsson (1759-1832) and mother was Kerstin Persdotter (1769-1844). She was the daughter of Per Michelsson (1714-1781) -- see his research notes. Per Nilsson (1759-1832) was the son of Nils Jöran Bröjer (Bröijer or Breüer) who was a soldier and he (Per Nilsson) likely lived most of his adult life in the Föne area of Färila parish - see Part four starting on page 12 of the document, "Nils Persson (b 1796) Ancestors and Descendants".

Per Nilsson's (1759-1832) mother was Karin Halsvarsdotter (Halfvarsdotter) who was the daughter of Per Michelsson's (1714-1781) first wife Chersitn Halvarsdotter (b 1699).

** for a period of time, Kårböle parish area records then fall under the responsibility Färila parish, so the next book,

G. Färila parish, AI:21, 1866-1870, page 404, farm Kårböleskog

Enka Karin Andersdotter (1792) died 12 Nov 1870
Anders Nilsson (born 1825) family as last book

I followed through some later church books in Färila parish on a 'hunch, but a long shot', that maybe Jon Andersson born 1819 had moved to his in-laws on Kårböleskog after his wife died in 1900 - but he is NOT recorded.

However, Anders Nilsson (born 1825) died on 15 Jan 1895 [Färila] parish, AI:28b, page 568]. His son Anders Andersson (b 1861) continued on the farm until about 1906 when it is recorded that he moved to Ljusdal on 18 Aug 1906 [he is recorded in book for Färilia AIIa:2 page 875 and AIIa:4 1905-1910, page 952].

Note: I have not researched the complete records of Anders Nilsson and his family.
