Marit Matsdotter

  Research Notes:

some of the book researchers DO NOT record her name or birth [ie, Jarl Ericson in his book, Finnar in Östmark ... image 1357


1. Kenneth Bergman data records her birth as Lysvik parish,Värmlands län, Sweden [abt 20 kms south of Torbsy on east side of Övre Fryken lake]. Kenneth Bergman also uses the Finnish Family Name of Suhoinen. He does not record the name of her father, although his given name would have been 'Mats'. BUT no sources.

- no date of death is noted on any of the Family trees

2. See my document, "Porkka - Bork/Bürk surname posts ......." page 7 and post by Lise Stensby, 17 Apr 2000
- born at Hedåsen Lysviks socken
- She was of Finnish genus Porkinen? or Suhoinen?


3. Many Family Trees on Ancestry record her name as Marit Matsdotter Shuhoinen b about 1605-1610 at Hedåsen, Lysvik parish in Värmland. BUT most record her death about 1687 in Enkullen, Västnorrland.
BUT this doesn't seem to make sense, unless she re-married and moved there. There doesn't seem to be any indication that any of the children of Lars Klemetsson Porkka had moved.

AND, the problem with these Family Trees (common with most) is that they do not provide any sources or any explanation for their conclusions.

It is possible that a person named Marit Marsdotter was married to Lars Klemetsson Porkka (b bet 1595 and 1600),
but her birth and birth location is NOT Proven.

Marit married Lars Klemetsson Porkka, son of Klemet Pedersson Porkka and Karin Örjansdotter. (Lars Klemetsson Porkka was born between 1595 and 1600 in Siikajoki, Pohjanmaa lääni, Finland and died between 1675 and 1695 in Fryksände, Värmland län, Sweden.)
