NOTE: although I have entered on my Legacy database, Lars Matsson's father and grandfather, the sources are based on the above name FT researchers. And I have usually only cited Kenneth Bergman and Bo Brunzel (and sometimes Tony Östlund) as "source citations", even though all named have contributed or collaborated basic information


2. Mats Klemetsson and his father Klemet (Henriksson) - father should be Klemet Pedersson Porkka (see below **)

From Bo Brunzell: Notes/Comments: Lars Mattsson Porkka f. 1635 ca is most likely the son of Mattes Klemetsson Porkka in his first marriage. Lars is probably born in the Orsa area. (source Niclas Persson) [see my doc, Niclas Persson Anbytarforum
Född omkring 1635. Död 1671 i Rattsjöberget, Vitsand (S).
[see my doc, Niclas Persson Anbytarforum posts, April 2001]. In another part of this document (bottom, page 8) Niclas Persson says that he thinks that Mats Klemetsson Porkka's father is Klemet Henriksson [??] who for awhile was at Graninge, but he does not mention a source for this **. [ this is a village currently in Sollefteå parish in Västernorrland - there is a church at Graninge, but no parish records from this time frame. Graninge is about 300 kms north of Los and about 550+ kms from Östmark ]. And in another post [page 10 of doc], Niclas Persson notes: "It is certain, however, that Matts Klemetsson was in Graninge with his father about 1630 and then to have left from 1633. Lars Mattsson Porkka must have been born on the way west towards Värmland." [Niclas Persson suggests that Lars Mattsson Porkka was born in Orsa parish]

** I had written the above in May 2019; Today, 27 Jan 2020, I have reviewed this again. AND today I disagree with Nilcas Persson - I believe that the father of Mats Klemetsson Porkka's father was Klemet Pedersson Porkka b abt 1575 in Finland, as recorded by Kenneth Bergman

From Kenneth Bergman: notes that Klemet Pedersson was born about 1575 in Finland and married to Karen Öjransdotter. Kenneth Bergman notes that Klemet comes from Stöde, Sundsvall parish, Västernorland [about 150 kms south from Graninge]. Kenneth mentions what appears to be a "mantal" taxation list of items from 1621*, so it might be possible that the family was in Graninge for a time and then moved to Stöde and made their way to the northern part of Värmland and for at least one son (Erik Klemetsson Porkka at Øyeren, Brandval parish), west into Norway, Grue-Finnskog.
* see Klemet Pedersson Porkka (b abt 1575) research page - but the note is not clear if they family was in Graninge, Stode or, in the area in 1621


From Tony Östlund see point 3. Tony (as well as Kenneth Bergman) record the first gen as Klemet Pedersson Porkka, b abt 1575. Tony says his wife was born about 1590. Actually the notes linked Marie Olaug Mellembråten Skålerud (25 May 2018) and has a similar note as indicated on the Svedjefinnar website (see point 3)

From Roy Söftings: notes that Klemet Henriksson [?] was born about 1580 in Finland and married to Karen Öjarnsdotter (also born about 1580 in Finland).

Annika Henriksdotter Häkkinen b 1641 was Henrik Tommasson's only daughter. She married in 1661 with Lars Mattsson Porkka b 1635. They both are in mantal, Lars 1661-1671 and Annika 1661-1687. They both had four sons and daughter:

Erik Larsson Porkka, b abt 1661
Henrik Larsson Porkka, b abt 1663
Maria Larsdotter Porkka, b abt 1665
Mats Larsson Porkka, b abt 1667
Lars Larsson Porkka, b abt 1669

Lars Mattson Porkka died in 1671. Annika Henriksdotter remarried to Mats Persson Pennainen, b abt 1635 at Mången.
With him Annika had another son and two daugthers:

Tomas Mattson Pennainen, b abt 1672
Gertrud Mattsdotter Pennainen, b abt 1674

4. Tony Östlund - geni.com. Also uses a name: Lars Matsson Porkka Burk

Note: see my document, "Kenneth Bergman's court records posts" and on the last page is a short biography of the family "Porkka". This is from the website,
Svedjefinnar ; http://www.finnfalla.se/forsk/finnamn/finskanamn.htm
http://www.finnfalla.se/forsk/finnamn/porkka.htm




- it appears that Lars Matsson Porkka's father was Matts Klemetsson Porkka (born abt 1615 [more likely 1610] in Västernorrland [Melepad] and this Matts (and maybe his father) first settled about 1644 at Fäbacken (Vääpakka) in Lekvattnet parish. Near, or possibly a part of Fäbacken there is a farm, which today is called Burken or Borken. In some articles/notes and some family researchers the use a surname "Burk" or "Borch". Fäbacken is about 15 kms south/west of Östmark
- this biography gives a lot of information, but it is very hard to follow family lines, so I also reviewed Niclas Persson Tenhuinen's Anbytarforum posts of Apr 2001 [page 8 of my document]. From this I can outline the following:

First Generation:
Klemet Pedersson (b bef 1600; abt 1580, in Finland) Porkka

Second Generation:
Henrik Klemettsson Porkka * Niclas Persson Tenhuinen
Lars Klemetsson Porkka (b abt 1610) [Niclas Persson - one of two who first settled in Runnsjön ]
Matts Klemetsson Porrka (b abt 1615) * see third generation
Erik Klemetsson Porkka (b abt 1620) ** see link, Roy Søfting slekt, 27 May 2019 from Norway;
http://www.roysofting.com/Slekt/getperson.php?personID=I4979&tree=roy
[ Niclas Persson - Erik Klemetsson was early in Mulltjärn and also in the Bukrtorpet in Grue, and later settled in Öieren, Norway ]

Third Generation:
Lars Matsson Porkka (b 1635)
m. Annika Henriksdotter Häkkinen b 1641 (her parents, Henrik Tomasson Häkkinen and
Karen Bengtsdotter - her second marriage; her 1st marriage to 'our' Bengt Henriksson Manninen

Fourth Generation: (see Legacy data for other children of Lars Matsson Porkka b 1635)
Lars Larsson Porkka, born 1669
m. Marit Persdotter Tarvainen [also see Manuel Aguilar Henriksson document ]

Fifth Generation:
Karin Larsdotter (Porkka) b 1693, d. 1743
1st marriage:Anders Andersson (Hotakka), b 1687, d. 1716 ['our' 5th great grandfather]
2nd marriege:Johan Eriksson Tenhuinen, b 1695, d. 1758 ⁵⁷⁵³

Lars married Annika Henriksdotter, daughter of Henrik Tomasson Häkkinen and Kerstin Bengtsdotter, in Fryksände, Värmland län, Sweden.⁵⁷⁵² (Annika Henriksdotter was born about 1641 in Rämmen, Värmland län, Sweden ⁸⁴⁵¹ and died between 1700 and 1705 in Fryksände, Värmland län, Sweden ⁸⁴⁵¹.)
