    Notes 
    • He is called Jonas Pehrson in Jonas Petter’s birth record.

      The 65-78 household exam for their stay at Meikelsson in Marby seems to show that their marriage date was September 3, 1866.

      The 1890 Swedish Census record lists “Marby Annex” as Jonas’s parish of birth. It also shows (in the Arkion version) that at the time of that census the family resided in Hösen, in the parish of Marby Annex, in the county of Jämtlands.

      In the 1900 census, Jonas’s occupation is described as Lägenhetsinnehavare. At that time, all the children are gone and it’s just him and Karin. They are shown as residing in Kläppe, in the parish of Marby Jämtlands län, in the county of Jämtland.

      From the Kläppe Marby parish records, ineptly translated by DRC:

      1875 the family moved to Trappnäs in Hallen

      November 11, 1883 moved back to Marby; Märta was married October 7, 1885 in (to?) Frösön, Jonas Petter was confirmed in 1887

      November 13, 1891 Jonas Persson with wife Carin and Anna Catrina and Jonas Petter moved to Sölfbacken in Ovikens Socken {Could not find them in Sölfbacken at that time in the Household Exam. The 87-94 Household Exam for Hösen of Frappnäs says that the family of four, less Märta, moved to Oviken on November 9, 1891.}

      1894 moved to Västnor in Oviken

      August 20, 1894 Anna Catrina moved to North America

      November 20, 1898 Jonas Persson and wife Carin moved to Kläppe, No. 2, Marby; their son Jonas Petter did not move with them and remained in Oviken until 1900 when he moved to Östersund

      [Rudolph recounts that Jonas Persson died from cancer. He had earlier gone to a Stockholm specialist but to no avail.]

      October 16, 1909 there was an auction after widow Carin Jonsdotter's death which yielded a sum of 737:25
