  Research Notes:

NOTE: when researching parish records, keep in mind the changing boundaries of the parishes. About 1750 the earlier records for the family farm/village was apart of Fryksände parish. Then around 1750 or so, Östmark became the parish for the records, and then about 1850 through Lekvattnet parish. For the most part I have recorded the birth/marriage/death in relation to the parish responsible for that time period.

Many of Bengt Nilsson Backstrom's ancestors can be followed using the the church records. However, as I researched the early Fryksände records, the handwriting is hard to make out, often only the given name is recorded, and dates of birth do not occur until volume AI:4 of the Household Records (1741-1749). Thus connecting ancestors prior to this is not very certain.

The starting point for much of the information on Bengts' ancestry is from an Ancestry Family Tree:
