« skrivet: 2002-07-26, 23:18 »

I have an old Swedish geograhy book. Inside is the name Johan August Anderson born 8 December 18_6.
This may be 1856 or 1846. The one number is very difficult to read.
Written on another page is 1887,Eskilstuna.
 
I would like to know if Eskilstuna is a city or smaller place and what parish and Lan I should use to place a question about this person.
 
The title of the book is Lärbok I Geografi för Folkskolan printed 1885
Thank you

Archive - General questions / Bouppteckning(estate inventory in 1880)

« skrivet: 2002-07-30, 08:28 »

In an 1880 bouppteckning I found the name of a person who was to be the legal authority, in Sweden, for Jonas August, a son of the deceased. Jonas lived in America at the time the inventory was taken.  
 
Would the person, with the authority, be required to file with the Swedish court, copies of the letters and documents he sent, and received, from Jonas August?
 
These letters and documents would be related to the inventory or anything Jonas August was to receive from his father's estate.

Was it the custom in 1870 to receive a bible as a gift when you were confirmed and made your first communion?  
Who would give this gift? Was it given by the priest, the parents or Godparents?
 
Our family has a Swedish bible. Inside it says: To Jonas August Nilsson born Sept.15,1855, first communion July 1870 in Ukna church. Lilla Stjälkhammar
