I find Inger
Dahlberg’s birth at Lane-Ryr, Göteborg och Bohus lan, recorded as Okt. 9, 1813
and christening on the 10th. Her parents Johannes Bryngelsson and
Kerstin Bryngelsdotter. The mother was 24. Birth was at Skäleröd. The household
on the farm Tegelbruket included Elin Svensdotter, the sav mor, or step-mother.
In this record – household record, 1812 to 1815 – the Dahlberg name is used,
though it wasn’t in the birth record.
Another record
– Household Record, 1814 to 1819 - shows
the family has left this farm and gone to another as of 1815. The gothic script
is difficult to read, but it may be that the family moved to Anfasterud, a farm
in the Dals-ed parish, in Älvsborg lan.
I identify
the sources I used here because they are at odds with other family histories.
The parents’ dates given here are: Johannes, 3/5 [1]787 and Kerstin, [1]790.
Dals lan,
Alvsborgs lan and Bohus lan are all connected at the northern part of today’s
Västra Götaland county. A quick glance at parish maps shows familiar
placenames: Grinneröd, Myckleby, Udavalla, Resteröd, Lane-Ryr, Stora Lundby. In
effect, farmers did not move far.
Not until
farms failed did moving farther away make sense.
