Brita ERIKSDOTTER

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 26 Sep 1819, Rättvik, Dalarnas län, Sweden

Notes:

Greg Loftness’s family tree on Ancestry calls her “Björk Brita Ersdotter,” born on or in Björk in Rättvik.

Her birth record in the church book (Births, C:7, p. 150 of 396) shows her father as Ingeborgs Eric Ericsson Öija and Brita Andersdotter, age 35.

Her daughter Betsy’s death certificate, for which Betsy’s son-in-law Al Carlson was the informant, shows Betsy’s mother’s name as Britte. There was a question mark after it so Al may have been unsure (but he was right).

Betsy’s birth record shows her mother’s name as Brita Ersdotter.
