    I research my great-grandfather Johannes Larsson (b. 27 Oct 1820 in Västra Blekan, Sundals Ryr), his first wife Stina Olsdotter (b. 13 Dec 1822 in Skälebol, Erikstad) and his second wife (my great-grandmother) Sofia Larsdotter (b. 14 Feb 1845 in Brunsholt Stora, Holm).

      My gggrandfather, Anders Jonasson Hög (soldat)(1848=1941) and gggreatgrandmother, Anna Stina Andersdottar (1842-1922), lived in Ör. As I have indicated, he was a soldier. Their son Erik, my ggrandfather, left Sweden in 1889 to come to the USA. One of his sisters married a Granat and the family is still in Sweden in this parish. While I have some info from on-line records (household, emigration, etc., I would be interested in communuicating with anyone who has interest in this parish or family.
