Hi Carolyn!
The place Halga is an old smaller manor house and was founded as a iron works in the year of 1833. There they made bar iron (not the modern kind of iron). In 1884 a great part of the buildings were burned down and a few years later the production was layed down.
A few buildings are left there today from the great days of the iron works.You will found Halga only in a very good map because only one person are living there today.For about fifty, seventy years approximately fifty persons lived in Halga. Halga is lokated at the eastern riverside of the river Klarälven (the old name for the river is Klara).Halga don't lies under Loffstrand. Instead Halga is originally under the village of Stackerud.
Halga, Norra Loffstrand Norra and Södra Loffstrand och Stackerud is lokated in Eksharad (two spot in the first a)- Ekshärad not in the neighbouring parish Norra Ny, which church is in Stöllet (two spot in the o).
About the debate about Lofstrand: There are one Norra Loffstrand and one Södra (South) Loffstrand since 16TH century then the mothervillage Loffstrand was divided. But in the South Loffstrand will you found the farmyard Lövstrand which (probably by the name)is the oldest in these Loffstrand-villages. The farm in the village Ämtbjörk is unknown by me.
My father is born and grown up in a place near Halga (Bofastberg) and our neighbours in the early 20th was named Skoog.
But there is more than one family Skoog or Skog. The name Skoog is maybe originated by the soldiers rote (the word does´nt meaned roots in english). The swedish military system until about the end of 19th century were based on several rote For every rote some peasants have to pay money, get shoes and so on so they sould held a soldier ready for duty in war or military exercises. The name Skoog maybe is a name of a rote. The soldier get the rote-name when he became a soldier. Usually before 19th century, his children dropped this name and only called themselves with -son or dotter-names.
By the way, the second man on the Moon, Neil Buzz Aldrin is a descendent of the family Aldrin, blacksmiths at Halga!
