Titel: SV: Johan Nordlander family in Gudmundrå
Skrivet av: KG Hammarlund skrivet 2020-04-24, 16:50: Yes, the records definitely show that he did own a piece of land (or maybe two pieces), most likely with a house where he and his family lived.
Not a very big piece, though - there's one record of Lövbacken No.1, specifying the area as 0.5371 hectare or roughly 1.3 acres. But enough for a house, a vegetable patch, a pig, maybe even a cow. And of course he had his paycheck, working as a stoker.
The sawmills and paper mills that were established along the coast during the last decades of the 19th century offered the opportunity to go from utter poverty to, if not wealth, so at least conditions stable enough for marrying and raising a family. But hard work and ambition were necessary, too.
