Titel: Andersson, Nils b1839 Billeberga. To USA 1882. Parents ?
Skrivet av: Debbie Senk skrivet 2010-04-14, 05:20

Now looking for ancestors of Nils Anderson's Parents, brothers or sisters. Nils was born  
10 AUG 1839,Billeberga, Malmöhus län (Skåne) Sweden. Married Kjersti Persdotter,she was born 18 Jul 1833  
Nöbbelöv, Malmöhus län (Skåne).They came to the USA in 1882. I don't believe Nils' family did. His father's name was August. I have hit a road block and have to go further into the past.  
 
Any help on either of their parents or siblings would be appreciated. Thank you

Thanks. But according to my family his father's name was August Andersson. I am checking to see if maybe there was an error.  Thank you again. I will get back to you soon as I know.

Debbie,  
 
Andersson is a patronymic, as described here - it literally means Anders' son. The patronymics thus changed from generation to generation in a family, and were different for men and women - a sister of his would've been named Andersdotter (Anders' daughter).  
 
Eventually the patronymics turned into surnames, and were used unchanged from generation to generation (and the same by both men and women), but this rarely happened that early - more likely late 1800s; in towns somewhat earlier. But in the countryside in the 1830s, an Andersson's father would normally be named Anders.
