Michael John Neill's genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

This comes from an 1850 christening entry in Tjarstad, Sweden (the 21st entry in 1850 for those who want to know where it came from).
This is Anna Lisa Ericsdr, which as Randy and Miriam pointed out refers to Ericsdattar, or Eric's daughter. There is no reference to "Junior" in this instance.
