Archive - Swedish names / Eric Holmgren; Is this a military surname?
« skrivet: 2006-10-18, 20:08 »
I am trying to determine if Eric´s real family name is Holmgren. I have been unable to locate birth records for him. He was married September 17, 1738 in Björskog, Västmanland and died November 1, 1780, also in Björskog. Records indicate he was in the military and that his adult surname was Holmgren. The marriage record indicates he was from Holma (I think), but I cannot find a parish with that name. His death record indicates he was from Torpa Söcken (I think), but I could not find any birth record for him. Can you assist me in my search?
Thank You
