Archive - Swedish language / Help with a sweet memory

« skrivet: 2012-05-15, 01:25 »

My g-grandmother was sweet tender soul from Sweden.  She died when I was only six so my memories are few but I remember her rough hands and big smile and how she would often smile and pres hir fingers to my lips to say what my grandmother said was shut your mouth. It sounded something like holla shafton.
 
Can anyone tell me exactly what that might have been and if the translation is correct because I try to use it on my grand children ?
 
Thanks

General questions / Recording Name Changes on Family Group Sheets

« skrivet: 2012-05-17, 03:31 »

I have not had to deal with this until my good fortune of finding many Swedish ancestors with this forums help.
 
How do most family historians record or note that a person used both Anton Magnusson and Anton Carlsson at different times in their life.  What name goes where on Family group sheets and pedigree charts?
 
I need more than a little guidance on this because I want my records to make sense to others.
 
Thank you.

Olle K,
 
Yes, that is one of the census I have a print of.  They were my Great Uncles and Aunts I knew every one of the personally. Anna the youngest was my Grandmother I used to spend most of my summers living with her and my grandfather. Selma, Oscar and Charlie lived 30 meters away.  
 
Enjoy your trip Olle while the detective work continues.  I go to the Family history center today one of the things I can access from there is color copies of Swedish records (I forget the website name) it is something like archive...  I will also look for a possible obituary for Alfred Carlson for more birth date info.
