bullet  Research Notes:


Note that Karin Jonsdotter b 1876 and married to Peter E Strand, b 1867, were 4th cousins. Their common ancestor goes back to Anders Eriksson (1720-1794), who had 2 sons: Anders Andersson, 1747-1795, and Erik Andersson, 1746-1826. Peter Strand's father was Jöns Erickson (Strand) and Jöns mother was Katarina Andersdotter (1806-1886) - she was the granddaughter of Anders Andersson, 1747-1795. Karin/Carrie Jonsdotter's mother was Marit Johansdotter (1854-1876) and she was a granddaughter of Erik Andersson (1746-1826).

Anders Eriksson (1720-1794) 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 was a brother to Lars Klemetsson Porkka (b abt 1695 in Finland), and Lars was my direct line ancestor. Lars Klemetsson was my 9th great grandfather through my grandmother Avey Rangborg Skaret's grandfather, Erik Andersson, 1843-1921.
