According to Peggy Holway, Hällekårret was in the country, about five minutes from the nearest neighbor and from the
road which ran between Kville in the north and Hamburgsund in the south. There were fir, pine,
and birch woods all around, and they cooked and heated with wood they cut on the farm. The
farm was up high so that they had quite a view of the neighbors’ houses, of the school and the
church, Kville Kyrka, in Kville about a half hour journey away, and of the mountains and high
hills of that region.
We’ve not found a place with that name on modern maps. The farm probably was
abandoned and the place name disappeared.
However, I stumbled
on the name in a
website
for historical maps.
The map here is pieced together from the map of the locality right around Hällekårret
and the neighborhoods next to it. Hällekårret is encircled by a red ring.
The location of this high-resolution map can be found on a regional, topographic
map from the
names of places on both: Lilla Jore, Nyhagen, Slottsberget, Bredberg, and Bergegården.
