Halfvard Zackrisson Hjelte

   Another name for Halfvard was Halvar Zacrkrisson.

  Research Notes:

Summary: Halfvard Zackrissson Hjelte was likely born in 1690's (between 1690-1699) and likely at a farm/village of Remmen located today within the boundary of Älvros parish in Jämtland. However, the earliest Household records that exist for Älvros parish start with 1829 (vol, AI:1). I haven't been able find the farm/village in earlier books, since it is not clear what parish boundary it would have come under (there is a Remman [likely the same] in Ljusdal parish but beginning in 1767; nothing under Ytterhogdal parish).

Most of the other researchers (Torgny Henriksson data website and Stefan Jacobsson's data on geni.com, and Torbjörn Näs on Anbytarom) record Remmen in Älvros parish as his birth place. And they also record his marriage to Cherstin Halfvardsdotter ( b. 1699/1700). The only other record we have for him is his death record in 1733 but no other information is recorded on this record.

Halfvard Zackrissson Hjelte's father was likely Zachrias Halfvarsson. Although I am not certain, it is likely that Zachrias Halfvarsson was living on the same place as his daughter Kerstin Zachrisdotter (1691-1764) and her husband Anders Halfvarsson (1687-1774), possibly until 1736 at Kårböle. However, Zachrias Halfvarsson is not recorded in the next book (AI:2, image 129) with his daughter. It is most likely that he died sometime between 1735-1737. I have looked through the death records in Färila parish for as early as 1718 up to 1745, but I have not found a record [23 Apr 2018].

- Jöns Hielte - died in 1792 at age 60 (fr death record), thus birth should be close to 1732 - but I couldn't find a birth record, But still the last name ????

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Birth - Bet 1690 and 1699, Between 1690 and 1699, Älvros, Jämtland län, Sweden. I have not found an exact birth date since there is no record of births for Älvros parish. Most other researchers have recorded that he was born in Älvros parish at the farm or village of Remmen, and indicate his birth was in the 1690's

2. Death - 1733, 12 Apr 1733, Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden. ⁸⁰⁸³ The DISTBYT database records Halsvar Zachrisson Hjelte. There are 5 records with the name Halsvar Zachrisson Hjelte (with some spelling variations. They all record his marriage as 1718 in Färila parish. Two of these records record his death as 1733 and the others as 1735. None record a birth date.

However, Färila death records (EI:1, 1711-1769), image 59 records his death in 1773 at Storbyn - Soldater Halfsvard Hjelte (no age recorded). This corresponds with the Torgny Henriksson släktforsk database, as well as, Steffan Jacobsson's data (geni.com), Torbjörn Näs data on Anbytarforum. These indicate birth in the 1690's at Remmen, Älvros parish in Jämtland.

Halfvard married Cherstin Halvarsdotter, daughter of Halvar Rolfsson and Karin Olofsdotter, on 6 Oct 1718 in Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden ^8051,8056.^,8057 (Cherstin Halvarsdotter was born 1699 or 1700 in Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden ⁸⁰⁵¹ and died on 20 Aug 1763 in Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden ⁸⁰⁵².)

  Noted events in their marriage were:

1. Marriage - 1718, 6 or 19 Oct 1718, Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden. ⁸⁰⁵¹ There are actually 2 notations for their marriage, but both are on the same page, under the year 1718. The first notation is between the entries for Jun and 7 of Dec. This notation has 19 Oct and then Cherstin Halvarsdotter and Halvard Zackrisson (this notation is difficult to read, and there are some other comments that I can't make out). The second notation is at the bottom of the page, with the date 6 Oct and is a bit clearer. "drangen Halvard Zachrisson from Dalnara [?] and Cherstin Halsvarsdotter from "Kårböles".

This marriage record appears to conflict with Cherstin Halsvarsdotter death record that indicates her first marriage was in 1719. Likely the year of 1718 is more correct since it is close to the actual event, although the specific day (Oct 6 or 19) is in dispute.

On the DISBYT database, there are 5 records with the name Halsvar Zachrisson Hjelte (with some spelling variations. They all record his marriage as 1718 in Färila parish. Benny Strand's data also says that she was married in 1718 and he also includes the same information on Halsvar Zachrisson Hjelte. Others, such Torgny Henriksson records marriage as 1719.
