Jacob Olofsson Sunde of Kronoby Finland had 16 children. 12 children were with his first wife Lisa Johansdotter Huggare (1733-1777). After she died of tuberculosis, Jackob married Brita Michelsdotter Korplax (born 29 Aug 1746). Jacob and Brita had 4 children.

I have been neglecting this blog for quite a while, but have been continuing to work on my family history, and Jacob Olofsson Sunde and his family have been keeping me busy lately.

2017 End of Year Summary
My known family ancestors has grown nicely and I feel confident in the accuracy of my information. At the moment my family tree has 856 individuals listed, with the majority of them from Finland.
How big a majority of the individuals in my family tree are from Finland? I would estimate it at easily over 90%. So far I have not discovered anyone (on my side of the family) before the 20th century that was not born in Finland.
I am not adding ancestors to my family tree as quickly as I was at first. I have altered my course a bit, and am discovering and adding more information about some of my individuals on my family tree.
I do wish my wife's side of the family was easier to trace. She is from the Philippines, and her town was burned by the Japanese in World War II, destroying all records.

14 Children of Matts BJÖRKBACKA
While browsing HiskiProject this morning, I came across this information on my 5th great grandparent's children.
Right now is not a good time for me to start adding all these newfound relatives to my Legacy Family Tree, after all it is the day before Christmas Eve and there are things to do around the house.
The satisfying part of adding all these individuals to my family tree is recording their names, births, christening dates, and the village and farm they were born on. At that point of documenting what I can on their lives I have hopes that they all lived a long life, married, and had children.
Yet, I have learned not to get my hopes up, after all, in this period of Finnish history many of my ancestors had children that died in infancy.
I do see the 1732 births of children Mattz and Brita that were only four months apart. Hopefully I can find the church records online and clear that up.

Buried Same Day
Matts Carlsson Modig 1747-1789 and Anna Persdotter 1749-1789 were my 4th great grandparents on my father's side of the family. They lived in Kälviä, Finland, and Matts was a soldier.
15 January of 1789, Anna died of magref (stomach complaint), and Matts died four days later, also of magref (stomach complaint). Matts and Anna were both buried the same day, 25 Jan 1789.
Matts and Anna were married almost 19 years, and had 9 children together, plus Matts had a daughter with his first wife Maria Samuelsdotter. Maria died in 1769.
Four of Matts and Anna's children died in infancy, two lived what could be considered a normal lifespan, and the other children I have been unable to find information on their deaths.
Their 5th child, Magdlena, was my 3rd great grandmother.
