Can you tell me more about the time this trend started? Was it in all of Sweden and was it the beginning of the end of patronymic system in Sweden? I have a great-grandmother (Gustafva Germundsson b 15 Feb 1864 in Stenbrohult, Kronoberg) that I have never found in the records as Germundsdotter, always Germundsson. She was not in a big city, but was born out of wedlock, with her mother later getting married to Germund, her father.
