Titel: Where are these places located
Skrivet av: Nancy Jaderen skrivet 2005-03-15, 20:54

My spelling is probably way off on these names. Where is Hedsasen located? I think it is somewhere in Kopperberg. Also,Hammaren which I think is in Västmanland. I am trying to locate films for them but I have had no results.
 Thank you.

There was a Hedsåsen in Rättvik parish, Kopparberg (today Dalarna) county, according to census 1890. At the time, 14 persons were living there.

Erick!
 
I also have ancestors who lived in Önan.
 
From what I know, before the exploitation of the river Göta Älv - creating at that time largest Hydroelectric Plant, there were a lot of small mills and other industies using the water. They were situated on a number of islands in the middle of the river. And many of the workers had their quarters on the islands - collectively called Önan.
 
A map showing the islands you can see here:
