FIRST GENERATION

1. Anders Jö ⁽¹⁾ was born on 7 Dec 1723 in Sweden. He died about 1800 in Sweden. I have looked for a death record for Anders, but could not find one. Relationship to son Lars is inferred from the household accounts. Anders and Ingebor lived in Veddige at the Oluf Bengtsgå, in Bjö. The farm was apparently also called nordgå as the latter name appears in a few records pertaining to the family.

He was married to Ingebor Larsdoter about 1750. There is quite a gap between the birth of Lars and that of his next older sibling Anders. Unfortunately, since Veddige birth records only go back to 1770, we have no way of checking for children who died in infancy. Ingebor Larsdoter ⁽²⁾ was born in 1729 in Sweden. She died on 2 Sep 1798 in Veddige, Halland, Sweden.⁽³⁾ The death record has her place of death as Nordgå, her cause of death as old age, and her age at death as 69. I am not sure where (or what) Nordgå is, but the rest seems to fit. Relationship to son Lars is inferred from the household accounts. Anders Jö and Ingebor Larsdoter had the following children:

3 ii. Anders Andersson was born on 14 Apr 1761 in Sweden. The household accounts of 1785-1787 and those of 1788-1790 indicate Anders went to sea.
