Attached is the death record for my great-grandmother from Jamtland, Sweden. Marta Cajsa who died on August 12. Her record is found on the bottom-right.

Is there anyone who can translate it for me? In particular, I am interested in what appears to read Nordfors, Anders.

Thank-you in advance,

Thomas

Hi everyone.

I hope someone can help me find out who the parents were for Jonas Berglund. Here is what I know:

Jonas Berglund born on March 28, 1864. He married Kristina Augusta Wiklund (August 2, 1870). They were married on December 29 1887 in Stigsjö, Sweden.

I believe Jonas died on October 29, 1918 in Högsjö, Sweden.

Thank you in advance!

I am stuck again and I could definitely use some assistance. I found Frank Viktor Swanson in USA (see below) but am unable trace him to a specific location (record) to Sweden. I tried Frans Viktor Svensson also but nothing. I figured if anyone can find this it would be someone from this group.

Hello,

I am having a very difficult time finding out anything except the birth record for my great aunt, Ester Alfrida Märta Hermanna Hermansdotter (born 1891-03-06 Gevåg, Ragunda, Jämtland). My grandmother told us that she immigrated to the USA along with her other siblings but I cannot find any documents related to her except this one:

1. Sweden, Household Examination Books, 1880-1930. Esther Alfrida in entry for Märta Katrina Hermansdotter, from 1889 to 1895; from "Sweden Household Examination". Esther Alfrida Sweden, Household Examination Books, 1880-1930 Name:   Esther Alfrida Event Type: Census, Census Event Date: from 1889 to 1895 Event Place: Ragunda, Jämtland, Sverige Event Place: Ragunda, Jämtlands, Sweden Birth Date: 6 Mar 1891 Birthplace: Ragunda Volume: AI 9 Household Role Sex   Age Birthplace Märta Katrina Hermansdotter   Parent Sidensjö Märta Katarina Sibling Ragunda Eugenia Katrina Kristina Sahlin Sibling   Ragunda Esther Alfrida Ragunda Herman Alfred Emanuel Sibling Ragunda.

Ester may have used the surname SAHLIN but on her birth record is says father unknown. I have a record of her, I believe, living in Seattle, Washington, USA area using the name Ester Sahlin in 1910. My grandmother said that her and Ester lost contact with other at some point. I would really like to know when and if she indeed immigrated to the USA.

Thank you in advance,

Thomas

Hi everyone,

This is a bit embarrassing to ask these questions but here goes. My grandmother, Jenny Tyra Vetsera HERMANSDOTTER (1903-1976) was born to Marta Katarina HERMANSDOTTER (1858-1916). Both Jenny and her mother Marta were illegitimate. I have spent hundreds of hours studying my DNA matches (Ancestry, MyHeritage, and FTDNA) in an attempt to identify the missing fathers. I have two very strong candidates. For my grandmother Jenny it is Julius Emanuel EDHOLM (1876-1942) and for Marta it is Andrew Magnus NORDFORS (1832-1911). Julius was born and died in Ragunda and Andrew was born Naset, Mo, Gavleborg and died in Utah, USA. Jenny had a brother named Herman Alfred Emanuel EDHOLM (born 1894 in Ragunda). He immigrated to the USA but died at an early age of tuberculosis (family story). I cannot find his death record. His father was the above Julius Edholm. I believe this because family story is that Marta took Julius to Court to give her son Herman the EDHOLM surname and the Court ruled in favor of that. I live in Colorado, USA and have no idea how to find such Swedish records from Ragunda. Can anyone provide me with any documentation related to this issue?

I did not originally think that Jenny's father was Julius because Marta had other illegitimate children with other men. However, I have changed that view due to overwhelming DNA evidence pointing to Julius. Marta (1858), Jenny's mother was raised by a single mother and they lived in poverty. My understanding is that Marta had a criminal record for stealing. Her mother Marta Kajsa HERMANSDOTTER (1838-1918) was born in Nassjo, Langsele, Västernorrland and died in Ragunda. Her father was Herman Svan PERSSON (1801-) and her mother was Katarina NILSDOTTER (1779-1864). Marta (1838) had a number of children but was never married. Andrew Nordfors, who I believe was Marta's (1858) father, was a Mormon missionary who was not from the Ragunda area. He was excommunicated from the Mormon church and was later re-baptized. He married a women from Ragunda and immigrated to Utah, USA. I am a DNA match with approximately twenty individuals who trace their family trees to him and I am included in a Andrew Nordfors DNA Circle on Ancestry with approximately twelve others. Is there any records in Sweden that place Andrew in the Ragunda area besides his marriage record, such as census data? Any additional information that could help me understand this situation better would be much appreciated.

Hi, this is my first post. I am stuck and I hope you all might be able to help me. I am looking for the parents of Nils Nilsson Edholm from Oviken (1833-1926). His second wife was Anna Christina Andersdotter from Ragunda (1841-1894). Thank you in advance.
