    Notes 
    • The date of Jan Eric Jansson’s marriage to Johanna Carlsdotter is **VERY** hard to read in [Leksand-1992e]. LDS IGI has a date of 29 Oct 1858 for the marriage of Jan Erik Jannson to a “Johanna Carlsten” but given IGI’s penchant for notoriously bad transcriptions, a marriage record from Sweden should be sought.

  • Notes 
    • Erik Jansson was probably born and raised in Slogberget, Hellsjö Kommun, but [Leksand-1992e] only lists the church parish in which he was born. [2]
    • 15 May 1882 is the date that Erik Jansson left Norrbärke Parish on his way to North America, not the day that he emigrated from Sweden. [2]
