Tegsnäset

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§248) I arrived at TEGSNӒSET in the evening. It belongs to the parish of Umeå, so the people have a considerable journey of 45 miles to get to church. To get there, they have to set off on Friday morning and are thus unable to attend except on the days of obligation and sometimes at Whitsun, Christmas and Easter. What would it cost to build a small church? The authorities have a responsibility before God in this matter! Timber for the purpose was provided in the days of the late Abraham Lidelius but has now rotted, for the clergy sometimes have their difficulties - not that they are particularly great.

(§249) 28th. I journeyed from Tegsnäset to GRANÖN but, as I was to go by boat from there to Lycksele and it was very windy, I had to wait until the following day. I did not get here, in any case, until 9 o'clock and then had to wait until 11 o'clock as the people had gathered for prayers and homilies. I could not set off as it was a good 35 miles to Lycksele and there was no farm to rest at on the way.
