Hej Kristine researchers,
Anders Hellgren moved into Kristine Feb. 1776. I am looking for information on his parents and origins. I think this person may be a lost member of my own Hellgren ancestors in Värmland.
According to Kristine B:1 (GID 897.64.42000), Anders was born 16 Oct 1756. I think the birth parish was Tjärnö, GoB. I checked Tjärnö (O) births and there is no Anders born on or near that date in 1756 (or other years).
Anders married Christina Maria Nyman 20 Nov 1785 (GID 897.46.2800 and 897.45.44.100200). So far, I have found one child of this union, son Andreas Gustaf 1 Apr 1788 (GID 897.45.105400).
Anders occupation was with the East Indies Company as Hovmästare (or as written in German, Schiffs Hofmeister). I couldn't find a reasonable translation for Hovmästare/Hofmeister.
I have circumstantial evidence that suggests this Anders Hellgren could be the same person as Anders Hellgren born Gustås, Arvika, Värmland on 16 Nov 1757. The dates are not exact but suspiciously close. Anders was younger brother to my direct ancestor, Claes Fr. Hellgren. The last record I find of Anders is living with Claes Fr. and family at Mörkerud, Sunne (S) about 1774.
Hellgren was not a particularly common name in the 1700s (except in Värmland and Östergötland) so this seems to be a plausible link. I don't wish to assume anything, though.
I would appreciate if anyone could provide information that might prove or disprove the link between the Anders Hellgrens of Värmland and Kristine. Thanks.
