Tomas Matsson

  Research Notes:

Using the Fryksände parish transcribed births, I can confirm the following children: [24 Sep 2020]
all children born at Rattsjöberg; Tomas Matsson and Gertrud Henriksdotter **

Henrik Tomasson, b 21 Nov 1707
Erik Tomasson, b 24 Apr 1907
Annika Tomasdotter, b 6 Apr 1710
Tomas Tomasson, b 2 Mar 1712
Mats Tomasson, b 22 Jul 1713
Gertrud Tomasdotter, 30 Nov 1715

** but Henrik, Annika, and Gertrud - mother is recorded as Gertrud Matsdotter
- are there 2 people at Rattsjöberg named 'Thomas Matsson' OR did the priest mis-recorded the name of the mother ???

2. Fryksände parish transcribed deaths, records Gertrud Mattsdotter died 26 Mar 1725 at Rattsjöberg [CI:1, p 351 no 13]; age 58, meaning birth abt 1667

3. Bo Brunzell data records that Tomas Matsson (b bet 1666 and 1672) was married to Gertrud Matsdotter but born about 1680?
Bo also comments: Thomas is stated in the book of the dead to be 50 years old. This must be a typo. Mother Annika Henriksdotter remarried Matts Persson Pennainen after Lars Mattsson died in 1671, and before that he could probably not have been born.

This of course makes sense. There seems to be a lot of mistakes regarding the ages at death made by the priest.
