I am trying to locate a farm in Fröjered Parish named Svinabäcken. I believe the buildings are no longer standing. Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to locate some additional information on my great-great-grandparents from Skaraborg. Currently I have the following information.

Anders Magnusson (born: 31Oct1806 in Flistad, died: 27Mar1899 in Bällefors) and Beata Ericsdotter (born: 20Oct1806 in Bällefors, died: 5May1889 in Bällefors)

I have not been able to locate a marriage record for Anders and Beata or where they are buried, nor have I been able to identify the parents or siblings of Anders. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Glad to join! My great-grandfather August Andreason (b. 1871-01-22) was born to Andreas Svensson (b. 1834-06-26) and Johanna Nilsdotter (b. 1836-12-06) in Åsaka in Lekåsa parish. He was one of 7 children (others were Anna Kristina, Mathilda, Ida Kristina, Svante, Beda and Johan Aron). The specific place of his birth is listed as Svenstorps Rote Stora Flättorp. Is this a particular farm? August ultimately emigrated to the US and changed his last name to Swanson. Does anyone have information about the siblings who may have remained in Sweden, or about the family in general, or the farm? Thank you !
