My grandfather, Anders Nilsson (anglicized to Andrew Nelson when he immigrated to Minnesota in 1885) was born in Hjarsas in 1857. At the time of his death in 1927, his brother Nils (Nels Nelson) who had left Sweden with him, wrote my father that he had graduated from Elementarläroverket in Kristianstad when he was 17, which would have been about 1874. The handwriting is in pencil and faded, so I am not sure if I am spelling the name of the school correctly. I would like to know what kind of school this was and its proper name.
