Now, the problem is: Did they just put in a name for the father without knowing his real name, it was done sometimes in America. Or was the father´s namne really Sven Nilsson? It seems strange, since the names in those days were patronymics, ie your Sven Nilsson should have a father named Nils XX-son. Or, your mysterious ancestor was Sven Svensson, but like some, changed to Sven Nilsson taking his father´s name as a proper family name according to foreign custom.
