JONS OHLSSON (2:12) "Sven Jonsson's age at death, 62, would make him born around 1733. The only Sven born and christened to a Jons, in Torrlosa, was born 10 January 1734. (Dco.#12) This record states: '1734, January, born 10 on a Thursday, Jons Ohls and Metta Svansdotters little son, Svan from Ostraby. Christened 13 January, carried of Ohlu Mans Nils same place: wit: Svan Andersson Mans Andersson Pahar Pahrsson and widow Kirstina, deceased Bengta Asbiors.' "When the IGI was checked, there were entries for Jons Ohlsson and Metta Svensdotter having children in 1725 in Svalov. (Doc.#13) This was submitted in 1990 by Rita Green in Centerville, a 5 gg daughter with information from the Torrlosa church records. When the chirstening record was found in the Svalov church record, the same witness was found, Kirstina, deceased Bengta Esbiors. Unfortunately, the marriage records are missing for the time period needed in. Svalov. The death and burial records of Torrlosa were searched to try and obtain an age for Jons and Metta." (ED: I don't know whether the blank spaces were in for a reason or if they were accidental but they were in the copy I received.) "Jons Ohlsson's wife, Matta or Metta died 4 March 1748 and was buried 20 March, age 43, which would make her born around 1705. An entry was found for Metta, daughter of Svan Pedersson, christened 1 January 1701. The death and burial record was found for Jons Olsson, died 21 July 1789 and buried 25 July 1789. This would make him born around 1702. "The Torrlosa church records did not

SVEN JONSSON (2:6) "When the archive family group sheet on Sven Jonsson and Hanna Jonsdotter was pulled, it showed he had had five wives. The Archive family group sheets were incomplete as to Sven Jonsson's birth date and parents' of four of his five wives. The IGI contained parents and sealing date of the first wife, Hanna Parsson. (Doc. #10) The Archive family group sheet contained the birth date and parents of the ancestor wife, Hanna Jonsson. "Wife #3, Ingar Andersson has a birth date and place, but no parents listed on Archive family group sheet or IGI. (Doc. #10) Her birth and christening record was not found in Kvistofta. "Wife #4, Elna Jonsson's birth and christening record was found on the IGI with her parents and sealing date. The Archive family group sheet with wife #5, Karna Svensson is very incomplete and she could not be identified on the IGI . "All the Archive family group sheets give Sven Jonsson's birth year as 1733. Two give his birth place as "of Torrlosa", three give his birth place as Bossarp. The clerical survey records, which would give birth date and place do not start until 1804. "The IGI has five probable entries for Sven Jonsson. (Doc.#10) The first, Sven Janson, (no parents listed) christened 28 May 1733, Torrlosa, 1995 ordinance dates; second, Sven Joensson, spouse: Hanna Parsson, born abt 1733 of N. Reslov, ordinance dates 1930's; third, Sven Jonson, father, Jons Olson, mother, Metta Svenson, christened 13 Jan 1734, Torrlosa, ordinance dates 1990; fourth, Sven Jonsson, father Jons Olsson, mother, Metta Svansdotter, born 10 Jan 1734, Torrlosa, ordinances dates 1992, 1993; and fifth, Sven Jonsson, father, Jons Olsson, mother, Mayya Swensson, christened 11 March 1734 Ostraby, Torrlosa, ordinance dates 1984. "It often takes more time to check early research than to do original research. The probate index was searched for each of the individuals above. An entry was found under the fifth wife, Karna Svensdotter, for Sven Joensson. The probate records were indexed after the Salt Lake Family History Library filmed the records, and there are no volume or page numbers in the records. The index states that the record is in the year 1795, volume 8, page 95. The roll of micro film containing the years 1794-95 was searched first, but nothing was found. The roll labeled 1796, contained records for 1795 and the record was found. (Doc.#11) The records susbstantiated that the Sven Jonsson who had five wives and died in 1795 is the father of the ancestor, Hanna Svensdotter. This record states: 1795 28 April Probated farmer SVEN JOENSSON in Torrlosa who died the 21st, leaving the widow, Karna Svensdotter and 5 children, from former marriages. Son Joen, Jons both of age and Jons 5 years old, daughters Hanna, married with Ryttaren Lundahl in Rafenntofta and Kiersti 14 years old. The widow is with child, who will be represented by the brother Nils Nilsson of Kagerod parish. "Every thing owned is listed, an auction held, debts payed and in the end, the sons receive "19" and the daughters receive "9", which is about the value of two good cows. "On the Archive sheet, Svens Jonsson's third wife, is listed as being born 28 Aug 1758 in Kvistofta. Her birth and christening record was not found there, but it was found in Torrlosa, 26 August 1753. She was not found on the IGI and needs to be sealed to her parents. "The fifth wife, Karna Svensdotter was looked for in the 1805 clerical survey record of Torrlosa, with her son Sven, but they were not identified. She has not been found in a record that gives her age, so her birth can be found. She needs to be found in a burial or census record."
