Good News
Good news for Bjursås researchers! You have earlier husförhörslängd (household examinations) available to you than previously thought.
In November 2011, an American researcher of the records for Leksand församling (parish) came across records that did not seem to belong to Leksand. They turned out to be those for Bjursås. There is a notation on the Leksand husförhörslängder list inside the books to this effect. Why they are with the Leksand records is unclear. Bjursås does show as part of the Leksand kontract (set of parishes), and the Leksand tingslag (a judicial district) in a later time period.
Current published listings for Bjursås parish at the Nationell ArkivDatabas (NAD), on Genline, at Ancestry.com, and on the Family History Library Catalog (FHLC), all show that husförhörslängd for Bjursås start in 1710. These two volumes cover 1690-1707 and 1709-1735, respectively, for villages in the Gopa area. Here are the villages (with original spellings), the time periods covered (there are notations in the records for later dates than the examinations are for), and where they are found in the books:
