2. Östmark parish records

Östmark (S) AI:14 (1846-1850) Page 53, Gammaltäppen, Östmark [bottom]
Jöns Persson b 1824 married Karin Andersdotter b 1825
daughter Gertrud b 14 Nov 1850; died 17 Nov 1850
*** I can't find a marriage record, 1847-1853; but Karin was recorded on page 455 (Rundsjötorp) with her parents and her last examination in 1749; p 455 notes she left in 1850 to page 53
Thus marriage was likely early part of 1850 or late 1849; Gertrud b 1850-1850 is NOT recorded as öakta
