Titel: Dohelia, Sweden as a birthplace
Skrivet av: Dennis Johnson skrivet 2014-05-08, 21:14

I have a birth certificate from 1906 where the mother's birthplace is stated as Dohelia, Sweden.    Mother was born in 1883.    
I cannot find any place resembling Dohelia in Sweden.    Does anyone have any suggestions of where this might be?

Do you have a picture of the birth certificate? Maybe it´s more easy to see what it really says in a copy of the paper. Dohelia don´t sound even Swedish...

I do not, at this time, have a picture of the BC.   I agree.   I cannot find anything that resembles Dohelia.  Thank you for your response.

The mother's name is Augusta Anderson.

Is that all you know about her? There is an Augusta Mariana born Sept. 24 1883 in Dorotea and her father is (Taylor) Anders Fritiof Iwarsson. She might be named Augusta Andersson later.

Around 1896-1899 Augustas father changes his name to Holmberg.

A regular query concerning a certain Lundquist, Signe Maria transfered by moderator to USA emigrants/SD.
It can be found HERE (http://forum.genealogi.se/index.php?topic=56387)

The original Dohelia-query has turned into a regular query concerning the ancestors of an US emigrant.  
The parish was DALHEM, Kalmar län.
From that a new sub-topic has been opened and two actual postings are transfered - is found HERE (http://forum.genealogi.se/index.php?topic=56530)
