*** From: Wikipedia, Fågelsjö

The village was founded by descendants of former immigrant Finns who came from Orsa and Mora Finnmark to Fågelsjö in the latter half of the 1600s. It was probably Sigfrid Markusson Tossavainen who moved to Fågelsjö from Tandsjö around 1670. His father and grandfather came about 1608 from the village of Lievestuori in Savolax and got the 1620 free letter from Gustav II Adolf that he had to settle down where there was space.

The village of Fågelsjö is located in the border country between Dalarna, Hälsingland and Härjedalen. It belonged to the parish of Mora until about 1840 and it stands there in the church books under the heading "Mora Finnmark". After a short period of cohesion with Sveg, Fågelsjö was brought to Loos parish in 1856, which was formed ten years earlier. Since then Fågelsjö belongs to Gävleborg County, although the village is in Dalarna.
