Hi
I am looking for information about Oluf Åkerberg born in Skåne about 1719-1721. I am interested in the time periods before the year 1753 and after 1760. I do know that that he served as a soldier in "Änkedrottningens livregimente sk. Hamiltons regimente" in Finland. He was recruited in 1746 and obviously moved to Sveaborg/Finland in 1753. He was moved ("debarkerad") back to Sweden in June 1759 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/A0052372_00017#?c=&m=&s=&cv=16&xywh=-1707%2C-295%2C9868%2C5893) and was registered in Stockholm in 1760 (https://sok.stadsarkivet.stockholm.se/Bildregistrering/Mantalsregister/redigera.aspx?bild=M176019010001.JPG).
According to Wikipedia (https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%84nkedrottningens_livregemente) the regiment was established in 1742 in Southern Sweden. I have tried to find it in Armens rullor but not found anything before the year 1756.
Do You know which archives should I focus on (military and civil) and what was the name of the regiment before 1756? Which archives are the right ones to continue to follow his steps in Stockholm after the year 1760?
