Titel: SV: Looking for family of Gustaf Almstrom
Skrivet av: Leif Lundkvist skrivet 2021-01-07, 21:44: It is nice if you give the sources to things that you have found, but I have found both the move out record (gives nothing new except exactly when he moved to Hagby) and the birth record of Lovisa Ulrica (she might have taken her last name from her first name, Lo-visa), and I read her mothers name as Tellmansdotter (or Fellmansdotter?). Hagby has saved some move certificates from that time, but very few from 1789 to 1792, nothing there for Gustaf.

Gustaf probably arrived in Karlskrona with a patronym and changed his name to Almström during his time as journeyman, which was a common procedure for people that became craftsmen. If there had been Household Examinations during that time, it would probably show the patronym and that he changed to Almström. Thus any Gustaf born in Algutsboda area and/or moving in to Karlskrona might be the right one. Often the patronym is revealed somewhere, but not in this case. There are still more Gustaf born in Algutsboda in 1762 or around. Algutsboda might be a parish where Gustaf grow up after his parents moved there when he was very young, thus he does't remember anything else. Or his birth record can be missing. And both date and year can be wrong.
