Jöns Svensson

From Bruce Paulson:

"He married his brother's widow. He was the son of Sven Johansson and his wife Ellan Jönsdotter." http://brucepaulson.familytreeguide.com/getperson.php?personID=I121...

Though the quote says "Ellan" I think it's more likely "Elna" like Jöns' own daughter. I can't find many indications that Ellan was a name in common usage at that time, where Elna clearly was. - CDB
