11. Anna Katrina KARSTRÖM, daughter of Erik KARSTRÖM and Johanna Maria LARSDOTTER, was born on 19 JAN 1806 in Östra Sonnarslöv, Kristianstads, Skåne, Sweden, was baptized on 21 JAN 1806, and died about 1851, about age 45. Other names for Anna were Anna ERICKSDOTTER, and Anna Kathrina KARSTRÖM.

General Notes: Prior to her marriage she was a maid/servant. She was a servant in the home of Olof Djurfeldt and his first wife Maja Lena Bengtsdotter. Anna and Olof married 9 months after Maja died and Anna was 8 months pregnant.

Anna was jailed several times for stealing and misconduct. She was first arrested in Malmö prior to her marriage. She claimed she was arrested for no reason. She was sentenced to 3 months at the spinning house in Norrköping. She served 2 months of her sentence working for the farmer Ringdahl in Löthaberge, Högby Parish. She was then told she could go to Skåne. This is when she went North .

Anna was judged for petty thievery at Skånstorp in 1844. She was arrested for stealing at Lerbäck in 1846. In 1848 she was punished by being fed bread and water - this was the church duty. She was arrested again and taken to Östersund's Prison in 1849. She was arrested in Jäntland in 1850 because of a writing from the government office. Her husband, Olof, died 10 November 1850 and because Anna was in prison the children were placed in foster homes.

Anna claimed that Olof physically abused her and that she tried to leave him for a long time. She met Karl Frederick Gullbrandsson, he lived in the same neighborhood as she did. She made up her mind to leave her husband and go away with Gullbrandsson. On 23 October she told her family that she was going to Lerbäcks market. Instead she ran away with Gullbrandsson and his mother. She joined them and they travelled around. They wandered from Hardemo in Bo Parish to Linköpings, Nyköpings County, Dalarna, Hälsingland, Jäntland on the easternside of Lake Storsjön to Levangen in Norway. They made baskets and other handicrafts to sell and begged for a living. When people refused to buy from them, they threatened them and caused accidents to happen. People were afraid of them.

Possibly Anna died in Österlund. For sure she did not come back to Bo Parish. It is unknown when Anna died, but it is thought that she died between 1851 and 1859. Gustava was married in 1859 and in her marriage records it states that her parents are dead.

Anna lied about her identity and many other things. See Husförhörslängder of 12 August 1850 for the details of her life. There are records of court proceedings in Wenersborg at kungliga Court in Örebro. There are also records in the Landskancelliet in Östersund in 15 July 1850.

At Anna's baptism the witnesses were: Åboen in Borrestad Anders Mårtensson and his wife, Kerstina. See Kyrkotagen of 9 February in Östra Sönnarslöv.

12. Morten Jørgen MORTENSEN, son of Morten Larsen JØRGENSEN and Karen JØRGENSDATTER, was born on 25 SEP 1803 in Brundby, Tranebjerg Parish, Holbæk, Samsoe, Denmark,²⁸ was baptized on 25 SEP 1803 in Tranebjerg Parish, Holbæk, Samsoe, Denmark, died on 4 SEP 1879 in Brundby, Holbæk, Samsoe, Denmark, at age 75,²⁹ and was buried on 8 SEP 1879.³⁰ Another name for Morten was Morten Jørgen LARSEN.

General Notes: He was a day laborer. Day laborers rented out their services on a daily basis. It could be any type of work. I think he did day labor work as a farm hand. In the Danish Census of 1834 he is listed as a servant at the age of 32 and he is unmarried. In the Danish census records of 1850 he is listed as a crofter and laborer. In the census records of 1840, 1845, 1860 and 1870 he is listed as only a day laborer.

A crofter is a small farmer who may or may not own his farm. The land surrounding the home is a very small amount.

In 1828 Denmark passed a law that everyone had to have a family surname. The nobility and city people generally complied with this law, but the country peasants did not. Because people were not complying with the law, Denmark passed another law in 1858 reiterating the necessity for a family surname. It was not until the 1880's that the country people generally took a surname. Therefore during this time period there were a lot of name changes and inconsistencies. The following is the various ways that Morten's name is listed in the Danish Census records:

1834 Morten Jørgen Larsen
1840 Morten Jørgen Larsen
1845 Morten Jørgen Mortensen
1850 Morten Jørgen Larsen
1860 Morten Jørgen Mortensen
1870 Morten Jørgen Larsen

His birth records state his name as Morten Jørgen and his parents names as Morten Laursen and Karen Jørgensen. His marriage records and all the births of his children state his name as Morten Jørgen Mortensen. The Death records state his name as Morten Larsen Mortensen. The census records were usually done by the local schoolteacher or church singer.

In the Danish probate records, dated 1879, his name is recorded as Morten Jørgen Larsen Mortensen. The Church death records state his name as Morten Larsen Mortensen. The probate records of Morten's wife (1882) state she was Dorthe Marie Hansdatter the widow of Morten Jørgen Mortensen. All these records mention the name of the wife and all children. The probate records state that the children, Morten, Karen and Bodil were still living in Brundby, but Hans was living in Endelave.
