Jöns Erickson Strand

  Research Notes:

Relationship:

Jöns mother was Katarina Andersdotter (1806-1886) - she was the granddaughter of Anders Andersson, 1747-1795. And Anders Andersson (b 1747) father was Anders Eriksson (1720-1794). He descends from some of the earliest settlers in Fäbacken. Initially Fäbacken was a part of Fryksände parish in Värmland and later it was under the boundaries of Östmark parish (around 1765). Around, 1850 Fäbacken was under the boundaries of Lekvattnet parish.

Anders Eriksson's (b 1720) grandfather was Mats Klemetsson Porkka (born abt 1610 in Finland). Mats had a brother, Lars Klemetsson Porkka (b abt 1695 in Finland) who is my direct line ancestor. Lars Klemetsson was my 9th great grandfather through my grandmother Avey Rangborg Skaret's grandfather, Erik Andersson, 1843-1921.
