Hi Harold! I am glad to be able to assert that your great grandfather Johan Andersson also appears among my distant relatives. He was born at Lilla Älberg, Hardemo, 1822 21/1 as the eldest son of Anders Olsson and his second wife Anna Larsdotter. Anders Olsson, in his turn, was born at Lilla Älberg 1787 27/8 and died there 1834 14/10. Anna Larsdotter was born 1791 15/10 at Stora Älberg, Hardemo, and died as a widow at Lilla Älberg 1870 9/1. But the most interesting thing about Anders Olsson, also to many Swedes who might read this, is no doubt who his first wife was. Her name was Maria Jansdotter, born 1788 30/7 at Kvarntorp, Hardemo, and dead 1742 27/2 in the parish of Horn, Östergötland. Anders and Maria were divorced in 1819 after a very long process. Divorces were very rare in the 19th century. But by then Maria was a famous person, in fact one of the most famous women in Sweden: she was called Kisa-Mor (Kisa is place in the south of the province Östergötland; mor = mother), and famous because of her skill at curing sick people. She even went to the Royal Castle in Stockholm to cure the Swedish king, Karl XIV Johan, from severe headache. Best regards Ellert Peterson
