Hi Elaine: You can send me the information about your ancestor and I can check it out on Genline or you can send me a jpeg or gif attachment in an e-mail. that choice is up to you. I can only say that I will do my best to tell you what it says and send you back my interpretation. My direct e-mail is:
fersken@verizon.net I'll do my best. I see you are friends with my buddy...Geoff Rasmussen.

Elaine: I do have Genline and offered on July 14th to read the record for you if you provided me with the Genline number and parish. I'll be glad to read it and give you a translation whenever you get it to me.

Lars Svensson died April 7, 1831 in Hvena (now Vena), a farmer who was born in Björkesbo on 2 October 1800, parents: Farmer Sven Svensson and his wife Ingeborg Månsdotter. He moved from his parents in the year 1825 and in the same year he married Stina Maja Olofsdotter of Hvena on the 26th December. To them were born 5 children He contracted a consumptive disease which lasted 9 years and 6 days (or which began 9 years and 6 days ago). Cause of death was consumption or tuberculosis. (Elaine) This is my best guess as to what the document says. There are words in it that I can't quite make out but most of this is accurate.
