Kerstin Zackrisdotter

  Research Notes:

1. Summary

Although I am not certain, it is likely that Zachrias Halfvarsson (Kerstin's father) 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].


It is also likely (but not absolutely proven) that Kerstin Zackrisdotter and Soldator Halfvard Zackrissson Hjelte were brother and sister. Kerstin was likely born in 1691 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).


2. Death - 1764

Torgny Henriksson's data incorrectly records her death as 1753 ⁸⁰⁵⁸

Kerstin married Anders Halfvarsson, son of Halvar Rolfsson and Karin Olofsdotter. (Anders Halfvarsson was born on 16 Jan 1687 in Ytterhogdal, Jämtland län, Sweden ^8123,8124 and died on 20 Dec 1774 in Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden ⁸¹²⁴.)
