According the trees on Ancestry, Barbro's father is Matti Laurinpoika Stuut/Lahti/Stutaeus born 1540 died 24 July 1597 at Ilmajoki, Finland and her mother is Sofia Lahti born 1550 and died 1607. I have not been able to find any sources to back up this information. Does anyone have a good location to look?

Her parents havenot been mentioned in any original documentS, inother words they are not known.
That is why the profile hasbeen closed.

I figured that the closing was due to no documentation, this is why I mentioned it in a discussion. Thought that someone with access to documents may have another way to look;-)

Barbro's youngest child Gertud was born 1647. Barbro was accordingly born ~1600. Matthias Laurentii died 1597 and his wife Sophia was born ~1550. Sophia would have been 50 years old when Barbro was born...

Being a mother at the age 50 is not the problem here. (Of course it has been much rarer, as a genealogist, over the 30 years I have stumbled upon several mothers over 50yrs)

Finland's oldest mother was 58 years old, and she had a baby before fertility treatments were invented. https://www.hs.fi/kuukausiliite/art-2000005473243.html

Although in Europe the spike in childbearing was often 15-20 years old and the 16th century was a dangerous time for a woman’s health, older mothers have always existed. At 1920s, about 1,000 mothers became mothers each year, the number of births over the age of 50 did not decline until the 1960s. At present, it is historically unique that one third of Finns over the age of 50-mothers, are first-time mothers, as they have previously been mothers of a large family.

The only problem here is the missing source.
