"In the 1640s mantal, it is mentioned that Mats [Klemetsson] has seven cows, four heifers, eight sheep, seed: two barrels. More information is available. Finland is also listed as the country of birth." [no location is noted by Tony]. Tony also notes that Mats was born abt 1605 in Medelpad province, but others have suggested birth in Finland.


Tony's data records father as Klemet Pedersson Porkka and mother as Karen Örjansdotter - when you click on the name, the link goes to data recorded by Anders Fjeldseth on 7 Feb 2011. Tony also notes that Mats was born abt 1605 in Medelpad province, but other have suggested birth in Finland.


Tony Östlund records Mats Klemetsson's marriage to Lisbet Johansdotter b abt 1630 at Arnsjön, Fryksände. BUT does not record her parents.
Children:
- Lars Matsson b 1632 [Tony says he was likely born in Orsa and most likely from his father's first marriage [and notes that this information is from Niclas Persson]
- Erik Matsson Porkka b abt 1663 born at Arnsjön (likely Mats Klemetsson's second marriage) died in 1753 at Fäbacken
[ died 16 Jun 1753; Fryksände (S) FI:1 (1749-1807) Image 10 / Page 13 no 40; age 98 <1655> (AID: v6489.b10.s13)
- Mats Matsson Porkka b abt 1665 at Arnsjön; died 1732 at Fäbacken
- Mickel Matsson Porkka b ???
[ in my doc, "Porkka - Bork/Burk surnames.... page 11 at the top: Cheryl Petersson (11 Jul 2000):, but I don't know how accurate?]
The first son [of Mats Klemetsson Porkka] was Mikel Mattsson Porkka {?? Kahkoinen} c. 1630.
His son was Matt Mikelsson (Kahkoinen???] c.1657 or 1661. The children of Matts were Erik Mattsson, c.1680, Olaf Mattsson c. 1682, Marten Mattsson c. 1686 and Matt Mattsson c. 1699. [ Disbyt: uses family name of Kähköinen ]





3. Kenneth Bergman data [ http://www.kenalexis.se/p8de812be.html ]

Mats Klemetsson born abt 1610 married to Lisbet (Lisabeta) Johansdotter (her birth noted by the above geni.com FT b abt 1630
AND records 2 children:
Lars Matsson (b abt 1635) **
Erik Matsson (b abt 1663; died 1753 at Fäbacken)


** most likely, Mats Klemetsson Porkka (b abt 1610) was married at least twice. No other researchers have indicated this, but if Lars Matsson Porkka) was born 1635 and his brother Erik was born about 1663, there is close to a 30 year gap. Lisbet Johansdotter is likely Mats Klemetsson's second wife

Records:
* Mats Klemtsson married twice: first wife unknown and they had a son Lars Matsson (Porkka), 1635-1671

4. Disbyt: nothing very useful in either old version or new version; although Bo Brunzell and Michael Östmann record the mother of Erik Matsson as Lisbet Johansdotter - doesn't record father

BUT Michael Östmann has a website database: https://www.abc.se/~m9172/000/052/890.htm [records Bo Brunzell as source]
- lists Erik Matsson's father as Mats Klemetsson [there doesn't seem to be other connections ??; 2 Mar 2020 ]
