    Glenn's research led him to believe that he is related to a significant percentage of the persons of Hvalinge parish (Varberg Kommun, Halland län) as nearly all of his farfar's family had lived there at least as far back as the 1600's. Because of the strange recording disassociation of children from their parents in the birth records prior to 1740, it became necessary to generate a complete population schedule to recreate family identities. Names in the following lists mostly came from the microfilms of the three (H)Valinge church books recording births, marriages, and deaths. Other names came from the earliest husförhörslangd records. Additional names extracted from land and probate records came from the historical works of Abraham Winka and were valuable in crosschecking assumptions. Then to complete the search for evidence to support the reconstruction, records from nearly all the surrounding parishes in that part of Halland were inspected. Excluding confusing spellings, he felt the reliability of the data is quite high but it still should be treated as "secondary" and be subject to proving.
