Annika Henriksdotter

   Another name for Annika was Annika Henriksdotter Häkkinen.

  Research Notes:

Birth and Death:


Most family researchers record Annika's Henriksdotter's (Häkkinen) birth as 1641 and that she was born at Djuprämmen in Rämmen parish - the family did not move to Rattsjöberg in Fryksände parish until about 1645.

There is disagreement on the date of her death. Kenneth Bergman records her death as 1707. The transcribed Fryksände death book has the name "hustru [wife] Annika" as the person who died at Rattsjöberg on 17 Nov 1707 [Fryksände (S) CI:1 (1707-1732) Image 165 / Page 323] [Note: this record does not record an "patronmyic or efternamn". The age at death is recorded as 80 years and 5 months, meaning her birth would have to be about 1627-28.

So either the age at death is incorrect OR there was someone else named Annika at Rattsjöberg. The later is most likely the case, since the given name of Annika was widely used [** see point 4. a. ].

Bo Brunzell records her death as about 1700 (and Michael Östman who often references Bo Brunzell). Mathias Johansson from a disbyt FT records her death as 1705, as does a Familysearch FT (Angel38) [id L8MS-HKT], and the geni.com FT (Tony Östlund), and Grillenborg ..

Conclusion: I have recorded Annika's birth as 1641 and her death between 1700 and 1705, and this seems to be a reasonable conclusion based on the information I can obtain. Of course, it is possible that other information is available (archives or books from Sweden), but as of 6 May 2019, I have not found anything else on the internet.



1. Kenneth Bergman records that Annika Henriksdotter Häkkenin was married twice. Married 1st to Lars Matsson Porka (1635-1671) and married 2nd to Mats Persson Pennianen (1635-1689).

4. Disbyt: Mathias Johansson, id, 44970 Last updated: 30 Jul 2011 [ as of 1 Sep 2020, this disbyt FT not found]
- records birth as 1641 and death about 1705

There is only one Disbyt FT (as above) that records her death. I also reviewed FT's for Lars Matsson Porka [search Vitsand] and on Disbyt there are 3-4 FT for him (b abt 1665) along with some children, but none record his wife. - 2 from deceased members
1 is Bo Brunzell, and 1 other

Her second marriage to Mats Persson Pennianen (b abt 1635). Roger Olof Holmstrand (id 5430) does record both of her marriages, along with children - as of 5 May 2019 I have not researched dates of the children. Roger Olof Holmstrand does not record a death date for Annika Henriksdotter.
