Gudmundrå / Household Examination Books

« skrivet: 2020-08-06, 21:40 »

I should have asked this question awhile ago. The people listed on a page in a household examination book... are they living in the same house? In some of the books, my family is the only one listed on the page. Yet in other books, there are multiple families. Are they living in an apartment building?
Also, is it possible to know the address of the houses today?
Thanks.

Gudmundrå / Erik Nordlander - prison record

« skrivet: 2020-07-12, 19:39 »

Erik Nordlander was sentenced to six months in jail for vagrancy on July 16, 1889 in Härnösand. His family was living living on the parish poor farm at the time. This was listed in August and it appears he is being transported somewhere with some other prisoners. I am not able to translate this. Could someone please tell me what this says? Where and why was he being moved?

Thank you.

Gullabo (från 1871) / Erik Petersson and Karolina Nilsdotter

« skrivet: 2020-04-20, 17:41 »

Hi,
Could someone please interpret these property sale/purchase documents of my great-great grandparents, Erik Petersson and Karolina Nilsdotter? I was told they sold the land but kept the house. Karolina died in 1929. Is Erik selling the house in 1932?

Also, I was told that Erik participated in military training. Does anyone know where I could find information on this?

Thank you,

Gudmundrå / Nordlander family in Frånö

« skrivet: 2020-04-12, 02:59 »

I was hoping there could possibly be photos of my family members somewhere there in Sweden. Probably too much to hope for. Johan Nordlander (born 1869), Anna Brita Olsson (born 1863), Olof Einar Nordlander (born 1891) etc. Are there photos of school children, confirmation classes, or anything like that? Also, are there any photos of the parish poor farm? My family lived there from 1887 - 1894 or so.

Thank you,

Gudmundrå / Johan Nordlander family in Gudmundrå

« skrivet: 2019-04-12, 18:57 »

I am working on my family’s immigration and was wondering if there is any information on the Johan Nordlander family in Gudmundrå. Johan immigrated in 1902 - destination West Superior, Wisconsin with his contact there Erik Wiklund who traveled with him. His two oldest children Einar (my great-grandfather) and Signe joined him in Duluth, MN in 1909. His wife, Anna Brita, died in January 1910 from blood poisoning. He returned to Sweden and in April 1910 returned to Duluth with his two youngest children, Helga and John and $530 (a lot of money back then - did he sell property?).
Is there any record on how Anna Brita became ill - was she injured somehow? Did the family own a small farm? What was Johan’s job before he left? Is Erik Wiklund a family member? Etc
Any information about their lives in Sweden would be most appreciated.
Thank you,

The handwriting is difficult to read, but I am wondering if someone could translate the last column of Johan Nordlander's birth record (second page, fifth entry). Thanks

Gullabo / Erik Peterson - Gullabo

« skrivet: 2019-02-24, 04:07 »

I am trying to find the ship manifest for the 1906 voyage of Erik Peterson (born October 29, 1859) and his son Johan Albert (born October 4, 1889). They lived in Gullabo. I believe they might have left in February and have spent countless hours looking. If it could be narrowed down to a specific date, that would be helpful. I have found all the other siblings on ship manifests and am putting together a family history document with my Dad. Most of the siblings settled in Two Harbors, MN where I grew up and my Dad has been able to share some memories of them.
Thanks.

Gudmundrå / Erik Nordlander Family in Gudmundra

« skrivet: 2019-01-14, 03:40 »

I found an 1890 census, listing my great-great-great grandparents and their children living on the parish poor farm in Gudmundra. I found another record that stated they moved there on 05/26/1887 and lived there until some time in 1894. Their names were Erik Nordlander and Brita Stina Jonsson. Is there any parish or town record that indicates why they were living there? I would really like to know what circumstances led them to this desperate living situation. Thank you.
