Titel: Seeking information on Uppåkra in Southern Sweden
Skrivet av: George Lind skrivet 2021-09-24, 16:26
I having been trying to find out what Uppåkra is like. It is located 6 kilometers from Lund in Southern Sweden. The only information I have found is regarding bronze age settlements in that area. I am interested in Uppåkra because my grandfather lived there for 15 years when he was a boy. My great grandfather was a tailor who left Hammarlunda for Copenhagen. He married a Swedish woman had two kids and moved to Uppåkra in 1891. Is Uppåkra a farming village or is it more urban since it is near Lund? It seems like a tailor would need to live in an urban area to make a living and support his family. They did eventually move to Lund in 1906. My great grandfather abandoned the family in 1907 and took off for Southern California. Just wondering if these locations and occupation factored into his decisions to move around. Thanks, George
