Biography
Halvard Halvardsson (spelling variation: Halvar) was born on 13 July 1760, presumably in Malung parish.

In 1772 or on 1773-11-28 (sources differ) Halvard (b. 13 July 1760) ) moved in with his uncle (father's brother) Jonas Nilsson and his wife Sara Eriksdotter, probably because Sara was too old to have children. One source states that he moved from Skinnskatteberg, but since he was only 12-13 years old it is also likely that he moved from Malung. Halvar married Lisa Ersdotter at March 4, 1781 and they had their first child, Halvar, later the same year at June 21, 1781. Halvar and Lisa's family continue to live with Jonas and Sara in Östra Skogstorp. They all move together to Bjursjön, Skinnskatteberg parish, in 1784. Sara and Jonas lived in Bjursjön with Halvar and his family until their deaths . Sara died on 5 March 1791 and Jonas died on 28 October 1800 . Halvar and Lisa had several children.

Research Note
In short the arguments on the sibling relationship (and the implied father-son relationship between Halvar Nilsson and Halvar Halvardsson) between Halvar Nilsson and Jonas Nilsson is as follows: since Halvard Halvardsson's father's brother is named Jonas Nilsson, Halvard's father should be named Halvar(d) Nilsson. There is a estate inventory for a wife to a Halvar Nilsson in Malung stating a debt to "the brother Jonas Nilsson in Skinnskatteberg" (in 1789, when Halvard and his uncle had moved there). These pieces fits very well together, since migration between Malung and Skinnskatteberg was uncommon. For a more detailed outline, see the research notes on Jonas' page.
