My great grandfather came to America in 1880 from Sweden. He was born in Mellby parish, Alvsborg county, Sweden on January 28, 1863 according to family knowledge. However when I look at parish records all I find for that date is Johan born to Sven Jonasson and Britta Andersdotter. Britta's father was Anders Avall. Since Avall in Swedish is pronounced Ovall here, I've assumed that he had the name Johan Avall while in Sweden (???). How can I verify my assumption???
