Bo,
Thanks for that info. Obviously I saw it in this case but I read many pages on Swedish Names and no one ever ever addressed females adding sson to their father's first name. I have to say that the entire Scandinavian patronymics naming system is one of the most difficult things to get your head around if you are not used to it. I like everything to fit clear concise little rules. I just try to imagine conversations where people sat around discussing what they wanted their name to be and deciding on what they liked best and everyone picking their own variation Hard to comprehend when you are from the system that says, You don't like your name, toooo bad, you are stuck with it for life.
