Hi Ian:
Thanks for helping me with this. I had Kjerstin's correct birth record. I had also seen different variations in the books for Johannes' last name as Magnusson, Månsson, and even Magnison.
I know we have the right person as his youngest child, Joseph (Josef), is my 3rd great grandfather.
So just to be sure....the parents of Johannes Magnusson (1765-1825) were Magnus Andersson (1722-1766) and Britta Andersdotter (1731-1804), correct? And, is there any way to go back a generation or two? The writing is very scribbly for me to read, and I don't know how far back the books in Tranemo go.
Thanks as always,
Paul
