Would someone please have the time to look at the attached moving record from Stenbrohult parish (Kronobergs län), AI:8, p. 440? I am interested in line 5, which lists Bengt Jonsson and his wife Gunill Månsdotter. I traced them here from a household exam in Västra Torsås which listed them as moving to Stenbrohult in 1820 (a fact repeated on the attached record). This record then lists them as leaving Stenbrohult in 1821. Can you please interpret where they moved to? Back to Västra Torsås? Is a farm named? It could be useful too if you can please read the writing just to the right of their names in the box. As background, Bengt was born in Stenbrohult, but moved in 1799 to Västra Torsås when he married Gunill. They moved back to Stenbrohult apparently for just one year.
Thank you for your time and help,
Doug Nelson

Mystery solved! I searched the death index for Kronobergs in ArkivDigital. Bengt Jönsson died at Slättebacken in Skatelöv parish. Try as I might, I cannot read "Skatelöv" in the moving record I posted. He and Gunill apparently moved there to be near their son Jonas. After Bengt's death, Jonas and Gunill moved to Kvenneberga parish, where she lived until her death in 1856.
