In what Parish(es) are the towns of Långsund and Mörön, Sweden

Question

I am trying to track down parish records at Riksarkivet for the towns of Långsund and Mörön, Sweden. The towns are in Norrbottens län.  The time period I am looking for is late 1700s to early 1800s.  One profile on Wikitree indicated they were in Nederluleå, but I paged thru household records for 1776-1805 and did not find either town. Can some one tell me the correct parish, or poiint me to a source that lists towns with their parish?  Thanks

Answer 1

In Nederluleå both those names exist, according to the FamilySearch wiki.

But Långsund can also be in Råneå.

I checked out Råneå, but it turns out the Långsund (and also Mörön) I was looking for was in fact in Nederluleå.  I thought I had looked through Nederluleå 1806-1820 carefully, page by page. But, there are two pages for Mörön, page 211 and 220 of the Nederluleå household records A I/6b (1806-1820). I will blame my old eyes for the miss first time around.  At the bottom of page 220 was a group of people listed as in Långsund with a note on the facing page mentioning a Lars Nordström on page 211.  Since I was looking for a Nordström, I went to 211 and there was Lars, in the family I was looking for.

So, I consider this question answered.  Thanks for bearing with me.

Great!

I sometimes google these words when I look for a Swedish placename:

familysearch wiki "placename"

Then usually get some good suggestions on the familysearch Swedish parish info pages.
