Hej Anders Brissman! Thanks very much for your informative response. Most interesting was learning that Karl John Blomkvist was only a soldier for a short time. I had no hint of the existence of Soldiers records for him. Family tradition is that he acquired the surname Blomkvist when he became a soldier. Do you know if the Soldiers records show what his surname (last name) was prior becoming a soldier? According to family (i.e. not documented) history Karl Johan was the son of Karl Olson (English spelling) b. 1826 and Carolina Johansdotter b. 28 Jan 1833 in Lerum, Älvsborg. However, I find Karl Johan born 7 Oct 1862 in Medelplana, Skaraborg of a mother whose surname appears to be Holmgren. I am not able to read her first name or other information. This Karl Johan appears to be born out of wedlock. These records were found on genline: 100016.33.13500 Skaraborg _ scb Skaraborg: 91 Births 1862-1862 0/0. Since I don't find another Karl Johan born in October of 1862 in Medelplana, I am most interested in learning what surname Karl Johan was given at birth. Thanks again for your response. Best regards, James
