Three runic stones stand on their original sites in Gällsta, Vallentuna parish, Sweden, carved in the Viking Age. Runestone 232 is inscribed with a message, but the exact contents are unknown, as only the name 'Tobbe, son of [unknown ancestor]' is provided in the sources. The Gällsta family can be traced through the runic stones in Gällsta (U 229, U 231, and U 232) and U 210, spanning over five generations. Today, the runic stones stand silent witnesses to the history they mark.
