Oops, try this--
I research mainly in Floby Parish and surrounding Parish areas of Skaraborgs Lan and also some in Loftahammar, Kalmar Lan Sweden. My blog, Those Old Memories often has stories and pics of Swedish ancestors or research.

Hi: I see that you are interested in the Harshbarger line. I have a database of over 12,000 names. If I can help you find any info, just let me know. I would love to add the info you may have to my database also. I have been trying for about 30 years to tie together the five known Harshbarger men that came to the US.
