I also have confusing names. My great great grandfather was Pehr Olof Hellgren ( Bring- a soldier name) he was born on August 4, 1825 in Kalmar( in Smaland) He was a grenadian at the regiment in the town Linkoping ,but he had his farm for his family in Berga at Ostra Skrukeley. He married a Inga Stina Persdotter in Nov. 11, 1848. What is interesting is that sometime before 1843, Pehr Olof is in Norrkopng and after 1843 he leaves Norrkopng for Skrukeby in Feb. 1843. He moves around working as a DRAG( farmhand) before he marries Inga Stina and they are listed in 1848 without children and HE HAS CHANGED HIS NAME FROM HELLGREN TO HIS SOLDIER NAME BRING. Up until then he is listed as Hellgren after his father. Per Olof' father was Carl Adam Hellgren ( I don't have a birth or death date for him yet.) He married twice. Ist wife was Helena Hammargren( no birth of death date for her yet) By 1829 Carl marries a 2nd time to a Maria Svensdotter. Maxine
