Brita Eriksdotter Salmi

Church records for Brita Eriksdotter (21 Feb 1722) showing her living under brother Erik Salmen's roof. http://digi.narc.fi/digi/view.ka?kuid=30515250; http://digi.narc.fi/digi/view.ka?kuid=5846518; and earlier years 1735 whole Erik Salmen family, http://digi.narc.fi/digi/view.ka?kuid=30515360;

Based on research findings - Brita Eriksdotter married Olof Nilsson Callo around 1766 after his wife Anna's death in 1765. https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/sodankyla/ripp...; Dragen Erik Claesson (Kaukonen) and pigan Ellin Påhsdotter (Paloniemi) now lived with Olof Nilsson Callo and Brita Eriksdotter. https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/sodankyla/ripp...;

Erik Claes is listed as a syting man. https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/sodankyla/ripp...;

Erik and Elin's family expanded. They remained with Olof and Brita Callo until Olof's death on 12 December 1866. https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/sodankyla/ripp...;

Erik Claesson and Elin are listed under Wälitalo where "Moder" Brita is found under them along with her birthdate 21 February 1822 and death on 4 March 1794. https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/kittila/rippik...;

How I have come to conclusion that Brita Eriksdotter is a daughter of Erik Eriksson Salmen and Karina Nilsdotter Sirrka. Birthdate matches to her from church record and death date from both church record (Kittilä church record 1790-1796) and death record (4 March 1794) is Brita Eriksdotter Wälitalo. https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/sodankyla/kuol...; death: 4 March 1794. http://digi.narc.fi/digi/view.ka?kuid=5843496;

Solution to relationship between Erik Claesson and Brita Eriksdotter. Erik is a son of Aili Eriksdotter Salmen and Claes Mikelsson Kaukonen. Aili Eriksdotter Salmen is Brita Eriksdotter's sister. This makes Erik Brita's nephew.

end.
