Yhe emigrants from Falbygggden area are verry well documented, so Annelie Jonsson do a good jobb for generations to come that will look for their roots.I am looking for a lady that was born in Härlunda and that moved from Vinköl and these two villages belong to the city Skara,I wonder why Skara do not have any register on the internett of the peopel that was emigrating from that area.It is easyer for peopel sersching in the area Falköping then it is in other cityes.

Have been busy all year to include more persons in my data base of Emigrants from Falbygden. The number is now up about 38 000 individualls. And on the website Emigrant.se there is an emigrantfamily on display. An example of what I have in the base.
The family start with a Britta Magnusdotter B 1769 in Kinneved parish. You can follow her family from 1715 to almost present time in 4 generations. It start in Sweden and end up in Illinois and Minnesota.

I found Ås on my map. The church is almost on the shore of Vättern lake almost about 15km east of Vännersborg. My favorite map book is the M+KAK Bilatlas... essentially the Swedish auto club map book.

Sonia,
Yes, I see now you really did say the parish name (socken). There is an ÅS parish in Skaraborgs Län (county). Is that the place you mean? Note the spelling--the first letter looks like an a with a circle over it. I learned to call it a Swedish oh... it is a vowel and follows immediately after Z. When you look on lists you have to look near the end of the alphabet! You can find it in the parish list in Cradled in Sweden page 321. Note there are several parishes with the same name. You want the one in Skaraborgs län (county) (dont wory about the s).
