Eric Ericsson Häggroth - 2 sets of parents

Started by Private User on Sunday, January 9, 2022

Eric seems to have 2 sets of parents - names look to be Finnish/Swedish equivalents, but the places and dates of birth are different, so this looks to be a different set of parents:

Eric Ericsson Haggroth April 30 1762 - Oct 31 1820 Kauhajoki

Here's where it starts to look messy:

His father: Eric Ericsson Haggroth Feb 28 1726 - Dec 25 1764 Merikarvia / Mustasaari
Or Erkki Erikinpoika Haggroth 1733 - Mar 31 1800

His mother: Elisabeth Michelsdotter Haggroth Nov 2 1733 - ? Merikarvia
Or Anna Jaakontytar Haggroth Jul 20 1731 - 1798

To me, it looks like Eric's parents are the ones with the Finnish names, as the place of birth also matches. Merikarvia is almost 100km from Kauhajoki though.

However, as the dates of birth for both sets of parents are different, then this would mean the names are not just Finnish/Swedish equivalents.
