Length is probably an attempt to translate längd which means record. I've often seen that error made by someone who thought the words seemed similar so they must be the same. (I've often seen this on Arkiv Digital.)

First, I want to congratulate you and thank you for an incredibly well organized and well sourced request. This is highly unusual. (Typical requests are often similar to: Peter Johnson married Anna Nelson. I want to know their parents and siblings and living relatives because I'm going to Sweden next week and I want to meet them and see the old home place. Note the lack of Swedish versions of the names, dates of any kind, and locations of any kind.)
Second, the guardian in an estate inventory had a legal position. It was his legal duty to make sure the under-aged children were brought up properly and he was not allowed to sell their property to help the underaged children unless the court agreed. It was not his responsiblity to physically care for the children. Someone else would have probably done that.

Tack så mycket, Elisabeth. I'll try to check further for klockare in Brålanda when I get to the SAG Workshop. Your finding about the mentally ill klockare is interesting. (Did they ever get the notes back?)
Tack så mycket, Ing-Marie, about the comment you made saying that a klockare had to be a good singer. That is so interesting!

Thank you, Ingela. I learned a lot from your comments. Since the klockare was paid, that payment should be in the parish account books, I suppose. I wonder if the parish minutes would mention the klockare's hiring.

I have the impression that being a klockare was an honorable position. I don't know if it was actually a job. I don't know if they were actually paid. Perhaps the Swedes can comment. ;-)

My early ancestors in Brålanda (P) always were listed with full baptism dates at a time when most were only listed with a year of birth. That is the parish where I have some klockare in my ancestry.

Mary,
He was a farmer but also did the tasks of the klockare, which I think is the job listed on SweGGate. I have a few klockare in my ancestry. (one man and a few of his sons later on, to be exact)

When was she born?
I think that Osenhoga is an attempt to phonetically spell Åsenhöga.
Could this be your ancestor?

This tells how to access the scanned Swedish parish records on the world version of Ancestry.com. http://researchingswedishroots.blogspot.com/2011/09/getting-into-swedish-content -of.html So, since you have free access to Arkiv Digital and (probably) the version of Ancestry.com at the Family History Center which has scanned parish records, I suggest that if you want an extra subscription for your home, get SVAR.

Because of the colored background it also seems to waste ink on a color printer.
However, the scanning in color helps at times to distinguish the comments for one person from comments for someone else, because the inks are somewhat different.
Some printers can be set so that they don't print in color, but I don't know if all can be set that way. I had one in the past which could be set for black/white copies only.

I suppose I should add that some people find SVAR hard to use. (They usually mention this on a message board after failing to get any use out of SVAR for their full subscription period. Why they didn't ask SVAR or people on a message board for help is beyond my understanding.) At any rate, there are several postings about using SVAR on my blog. Look in September and December 2011. Since I wrote about the records up through 1940, another year was released, so now records go to 1941 for births, marriages, and deaths. The best information is usually in the Swedish section of SVAR and hopefully my directions will help you. http://researchingswedishroots.blogspot.com/ Judy

If you subscribe to a service with scanned Swedish parish books, you will quickly learn a handful of the most commonly used words. Lack of fluency in Swedish has not stopped me from going back generations in the Swedish records. You already own Your Swedish Roots and eventually you may want to purchase the more detailed Cradled in Sweden. I copy/paste my Arkiv Digital images into a free service called Irfanview. (I discovered it at the Family History Library.) It allows me to save the image and put it into my genealogy program. (I used to make lots and lots of printouts, which after a few years started to take over my home. I am much more selective about what I print out now.) http://www.irfanview.com/ These locations in the U.S. have access to Genline. http://www.genline.com/resources/libraries_a-z.php?land=us&list=a-z (Also, your public library might have a subscription to Ancestry.com's library edition. The one in my hometown has the scanned parish records for Sweden.) If you live close to a Family History Center with Arkiv Digital, I suppose you could skip that subscription and perhaps get a subscription to SVAR. Here are subscription details for SVAR. Type of subscription Price (SEK) Annual subscription 995:-[Order] Half year subscription 695:-[Order] Quarterly subscription 395:-[Order] Monthly subscription * 245:-[Order] 10 visits (3 hours each) ** 295:-[Order] 1 visit (3 hours) *** 50:-[Order] Use a currency converter to see what the SVAR prices look like in American dollars. http://www.xe.com/ucc/ I subscribe to Genline, SVAR, and Arkiv Digital. All have ways in which they are better than the others. Make sure that the parishes, time periods, and types of records you need are available before subscribing to any one service. I tend to use Arkiv Digital the most because of its excellent images, but strangely, the other services sometimes have clearer images than Arkiv Digital. The services don't have exactly the same records. SVAR has some really nice records which aren't on Arkiv Digital. Judy (Meddelandet ändrat av Judy Olson Baouab 2012-05-31 16:41)

Suzanne, your English is excellent! You are perfectly understandable and your grammar is good. You certainly have better English writing ability than we have Swedish writing ability. Gwen, It is best if you do not assume anything. We can form an hypotheses and research to prove or disprove that hypothesis. If a child used Olsson as a last name, perhaps the father was Ola or perhaps he was an Olof or Olaus, etc. I can't find the article by Elisabeth Thorsell which gave ideas on how to try to find the father of an unknown child, but it doesn't seem to be online anymore. However, there is an article which tries to do the same thing on the Family Search Wiki. https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Sweden:_Finding_an_Unknown_Father_in_ Swedish_Records Baptism witnesses were often connected in some way to the parents, especially if they came from a different parish to be the witnesses. However, I have found that I need to know the family a few generations back in some cases to know how the witnesses connect to the parents.

Lars has answered your question, but if you just want the basic sense of an error message, try using Google Translate. (Put the word translate into Google.)
You will usually get a rough (and sometimes weird) translation but the words you highlighted above are translated as the following using Google Translate.
Preview: New Message
error
Too many characters in the title. Write a headline with fewer than 50 characters
This Google Translate will not work well with the archaic language often found in the Swedish parish records.

Kathryn, Foster children relationships are not specifically mentioned in the following link, but the sections for Rotehjonsystemet and (especially)Utackordering might interest you. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~swewgw/Fact/Cult/facCulSoc01.htm My farmors mormor (father's mother's mother's mother) and her siblings had to live as roteflicka (rote girl) and rotegosse (rote boy) when their mother died. (Their father had disappeared a few years earlier. I haven't been able to find him.) Each year they were in a different place. Their parents were married.) My farmors far (father's mother's father) was a foster child with unknown parents, and stayed with the same family until he was old enough to go out on his own. When he married his second wife in the U.S., he named those foster parents as his own but they were not, of course. My farmor and her siblings were foster children also. Their father had gone to the U.S. and their mother died. They lived with different foster families and two of the three stayed with those families until they grew up. (The foster parents of my farmor paid for her wedding, so they cared about her.) My farmors sister had two foster families. The wife in the first family died and then she was taken in by the family of her mother's sister. Judy

Any ideas why there is no SSDI entry?
1. Perhaps he died before the computerization of the Social Security Death Index. Most entries are from about 1962 and later.
2. Perhaps he worked for the railroad, which has its own retirement system. (Perhaps even an engineer might work for the railroad.)
3. Perhaps no one told the Social Security Administration that he had died.
Those are just some thoughts.

The year was 1901. Read more about naming customs in this article written by Ingela Martenius. http://web.comhem.se/~u31263678/genealogy/Names.pdf But in 1901 an ordinance was issued - which in fact was only an addendum to the ordinances regarding church records - that stated the proper procedure for acquiring a family name: all “unique” names had to be approved by the authorities, who checked that you did not use someone else's name. If you did not want to use a “unique” name but instead e.g. you patronymic, you could do so without having to make any special application for it. You were however not forced to take a family name, but society had in general changed so much that this was now becoming the norm. Also look at SweGGate. http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~swewgw/Fact/Name/facname1.htm In 1901 the first law about surnames was passed. In effect it outlawed the earlier custom using patronymics (see below). (1) The norm became to use the father's surname for all children regardless of the child's gender. (2) A child born in wedlock receives the father's surname. (3) A child born out of wedlock receives the mother's surname. The father, or a man (later) married to the mother, can allow the child to use his surname. (4) Adopted children receive the surname of the adopting person. By court permission an adopted child may use his/her surname at birth alone or in conjunction with the surname of the adopting parent. The legislation regarding names has been revised / extended many times after 1901, notably the major, coordinated revision in 1963. Also from SweGGate (on the same page): Effect of the 1901 name law: The literal meaning of a patronymic surname is lost. Karin, daughter of Karl Svensson, would be named Karin Karlsdotter if born before 1901 but Karin Svensson if born after 1901. This is important for genealogists. It is often useful to create a patronymic surname from the father's first name or deduct the father's first name from a known patronymic surname of a child born before the end of the 19th century but almost always leads you wrong regarding children born after 1901. In the latter case you should look for a father with the same surname as the child. Judy

My ancestors were not born in nor did they live in the church building or the grounds around the church. They lived in a geographical area in which they were registered in that parish. Even if they hadn't ever set foot within that church building, they were registered in the church books for that parish. There is a picture of the church on this page. http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedvig_Eleonora_kyrka Also try this site. http://kmb.raa.se/cocoon/bild/public_search.html Go to Sök med fritext: and put in a location such as Hedvig Eleonora.

This looks like Teresia. The mother was listed with a patronymic last name and not a surname, but the birth year fits. There is a brother named Karl (who would have been Charles in the U.S., probably).

Hi Jack,
Oh, and before closing, I see you have a Löfgren interest. I do too. Any link to Eric Löfgren b. 1726 in Ramsele parish, or his sons Henric b. 1764, or Israel b. 1765 in Helgumsby, Helgum parish?
I am unfortunately not related to you. My Löfgren was the foster father of my farmor (father's mother). He was August Andersson Löfgren, born 24 October 1855 in Vendel parish, Uppsala county. I have his ancestry for a few generations and there were no Löfgrens in his family before him, as far as I can tell.

Also, the 1 July 1893 date is the date of registering to leave Helgum parish. It is not the date of leaving Sweden. They had to have time to get to the port.

There was a fire at Ellis Island in 1897. I've never heard about a fire there in 1893. http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=FB0A13FC3D5911738DDDAC0994DE40 5B8785F0D3 http://members.tripod.com/~L_Alfano/BrooklynEagleJune15.htm http://www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/mfh-ellisisland-06.htm http://library.thinkquest.org/5101/brief.history.htm http://genrootsblog.blogspot.com/2006/07/ellis-island-castle-garden-which-one.ht ml From the last listed site: The Ellis Island fire of the night of June 14, 1897 also destroyed some Ellis Island administrative records and the New York immigration passenger lists. However, separate New York customs passenger lists were kept elsewhere (at the Customs House), and they have survived. So ship passenger lists for the early Ellis Island period (1892-June 1897) are available for research along with the rest of the New York passenger lists, beginning with 1820. The port of New York, which in 1893 had the Ellis Island receiving station, is not at all the only possible port used by your ancestors. Other major ports included Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, etc. and many headed towards the U.S. went to a port in Canada first, such as Quebec. You probably already know the information from the Emibas CD but it might make it easier for others to search for this woman if they had the information handy.

Perhaps they left from a port in Norway. Other possibilities include a port in Denmark or Germany. Judy

I am hoping if the emmigration record if found may give birth location, and the on from there. The passenger arrival manifests at that time period told that the person was from Sweden and was going to the U.S. That won't help you find new information. If he settled in Chicago and naturalized there, there is little chance that the naturalization record is going to be helpful unless he naturalized after late 1906. From this site: http://www.cookcountyclerkofcourt.org/?section=RecArchivePage&RecArchivePage=arc hive_holdings --------------------------------------------------------- NATURALIZATION RECORDS Dates: 1871-1929 Courts: Superior, Circuit, County and Criminal Courts of Cook County (Naturalization records produced by other Cook County towns, such as Blue Island and Calumet City, are not included) Includes: May include declaration of intent, petition, and/or court order. Declarations of intent filed elsewhere may contain more information. 1904-1906 Name, date of naturalization; possibly address & witness 1904-1906 Above, plus generally include town of birth, port of departure, date and port of arrival, occupation, witnesses 1906-1929 Above, plus wife's name and date of birth; children's names and dates of birth; physical description of petitioner Indexes: National Archives Soundex Naturalization Index (Microfilm), 1840-1950 (for Northern Illinois and parts of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Indiana) -------------------------------------------------------- The 1920 U.S. Federal Census says that John Lind was naturalized in 1890 and arrived in 1881. Source Citation: Year: 1920;Census Place: Chicago Ward 7, Cook (Chicago), Illinois; Roll: T625_316; Page: 9A; Enumeration District: 460; Image: 804. The 1910 U.S. Federal Census says he arrived in 1882. Source Citation: Year: 1910; Census Place: Chicago Ward 4, Cook, Illinois; Roll: T624_243; Page: 1A; Enumeration District: 0258; Image: 1175; FHL Number: 1374256. The 1900 Census says he arrived in 1882. Source Citation: Year: 1900; Census Place: Chicago Ward 5, Cook, Illinois; Roll: T623_249; Page: 10A; Enumeration District: 133. There are some voter registrations on Ancestry.com which list the date and court of naturalization. You need to know where John Lind lived at the time. Titles of the records are: Chicago Voter Registration, 1892 Chicago Voter Registration, 1890 Chicago Voter Registration, 1888 However, it is unlikely that any naturalization records in Cook County (where Chicago is) will be helpful. Perhaps, if the person started the naturalization process in a location with better questions asked, then you will learn something useful. The Swenson Center may be your best chance. Judy

His birth parish might be in the church records if he **joined** a Swedish American church. (Many Swedes had baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and funerals in a church but didn't join.) You don't have enough time to order research at the Swenson Center because they have a long waiting time for research, but perhaps you can get an appointment there to do research. They don't have online records. http://www.augustana.edu/x13856.xml You could also contact the church or churches they attended and ask to research in their records. If they were Lutherans, this is a genealogical guide to researching in Lutheran churches. Swedes used the Augustana Synod, but they might have used a different synod if they lived close enough to a different church. http://archive.elca.org/archives/chicagochurches/chicago.html Judy

I see the marriage record for Per Johan Johanisson and Helena Christina Mathilda Johansdotter in the records of Norra Ljunga parish in Jönköping. He was from Norra Hetseryd in Hjelmseryd parish and was born 1 July 1837. He was 20 years, one month old. She was a farm owner's daughter in Ljunga Södregård. She was 17 years, six months old. Banns dates were 26 July, 2 August, and 9 August. The marriage date was 25 October?? 1857 There is a lot more written that I don't have time to deal with. http://www.arkivdigital.net (subscription) SE/VALA/00263 Norra Ljunga C:2 (1842-1860) Bild 58 / sid 207 Judy (Meddelandet ändrat av Judy Olson Baouab 2011-06-26 22:02)

Marriage dates are sometimes listed in the household examination records, but that date is not listed here. You will have to follow them in the records (including the marriage books) to find the actual date and location of the marriage. You should be able to find the parents (assuming records still exist; most do) by looking at their birth/baptism records. You have full birthdates and birth parishes, so that is enough information. In addition to Arkiv Digital, there are other fee-based sites with scanned parish records. http://www.genline.com (subscription) http://www.svar.ra.se (subscription) The international/world version of Ancestry.com also has scanned parish records. The Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center is a fantastic archive but their records are not online. We need to go there to research or pay them to research for us. They have records which are difficult or even impossible to find elsewhere, and many of us have found great amounts of information about our Swedes using their records. http://www.augustana.edu/x13856.xml They have these microfilmed church records for Waconia County, Minnesota, for example.

Have you searched the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center? They have a website which you can google, but their extensive collection of records is NOT online. We need to go there to research or pay them to research for us. They have records which are difficult or even impossible to find elsewhere, and many of us have found the parish of birth there. We can also find records of baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and funerals until about 1930 using their records.

This information was provided for you and you had a question about it.
------------------------------------
Levi i East Chicago, IN 1930 med hustru och barn:
Love Gustafson 28
Edith Gustafson 27
Howard Gustafson 11/12
-------------------------------------
Does it means that Howard Gustafson is borned the 11:th of december 1930?
U.S. censuses only provide an age (except for 1900, when that census also provided a month and year of birth). Howard was 11/12 of a year old, so that means he was eleven months old at the time of the census enumeration. This is NOT a specific date of birth.
If you check the actual census form, you will find the date of enumeration. You have to go back eleven months from that date to find when Howard was born.
I looked on Ancestry.com and found that family in the 1930 census. I know you have this information already, but I'm looking for the date of the enumeration.
Household Members:
Name Age
Love Gustafson 28
Edith Gustafson 27
Howard Gustafson 11/12
Source Citation: Year: 1930; Census Place: East Chicago, Lake, Indiana; Roll: 601; Page: 19B; Enumeration District: 107; Image: 408.0.
Name: Love Gustafson (The form doesn't say Love, but I can't quite figure out what the name should be.)
Home in 1930: East Chicago, Lake, Indiana
Age: 28
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1902
Birthplace: Sweden
Relation to Head of House: Head
Spouse's Name: Edith Gustafson
Race: White
Name: Edith Gustafson
Home in 1930: East Chicago, Lake, Indiana
Age: 27
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1903
Relation to Head of House: Wife
Spouse's Name: Love Gustafson
Race: White
Name: Howard Gustafson
Home in 1930: East Chicago, Lake, Indiana
Age: 0
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1929
Relation to Head of House: Son
Father's name: Love Gustafson
Mother's name: Edith Gustafson
Race: White
The enumerator didn't write the date of enumeration on this particular page, but the census form says that the information is supposed to be for 1 April 1930. Of course the enumerator could not possibly visit every home on that date.
Based on the 1 April date, I suppose that Howard was born about May 1929.

Lynda,
Check with the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center and try to find information such as the baptism of Edward Louis Hylander. That will name his parents.
If they joined one of the Swedish American churches, then the family will be listed in detail on the members' list. Otherwise, you still should be able to find information about the baptisms, confirmations, deaths, moves in and out, etc.
The Swenson Center has a website but its extensive collection of records is NOT online. You will need to go there to research or pay them to research for you. They have records which are difficult or even impossible to find elsewhere. Many of us have found the parish in Sweden and much more using their records. (Google Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center.)

Niklas, If this Scarboro you mentioned is the same one that I found by googling Scarboro, then it is a neighborhood in Calgary (the city), Alberta (the province), Canada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarboro,_Calgary Perhaps someone on a Canadian message board could direct you further. Rootsweb and Genforum have boards for Canada, and you can narrow down the search to the province and even the town. http://genforum.genealogy.com/canada/ The above page lets you select Regions. Look at the top right of the page. http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.canada/mb.ashx There is a Scarborough in Ontario province, however, but if the correct spelling is Scarboro, then search in Alberta and not in Ontario. Perhaps the address was near Scarboro Beach, for example. (I know nothing about this location. I am just googling.) http://www.flickr.com/photos/43021516@N06/5427998291/ I don't have access to Canadian records. I think you need to get help from Canadians. ;-) Try those message boards listed above. Judy

The Swedes can help better than I can. However, the only hit for Helgums Socken - Byar Och Gärdar is your post. If you google Helgums Socken - Byar Och Gårdar, however, there are quite a few hits. This book seems to be in a couple parts and the second part is sold out. Look at this page. I think you can use the email at the top. http://www.hembygd.se/index.asp?lev=18074 I suppose it is possible to find a used copy of the sold out volume but the Swedes will have to help with that. The only used book sites I know are in English. Judy

Her parents were Andreas Johannesson and Greta Benediktsdotter, who lived in Södra Remma in that parish. The mother was 32 years old. The baptism witnesses were also listed. Andrew Johnson is an Americanization of Andreas Johannesson. Andreasdotter (or Andreasson; or even Andersson/Andersdotter) would be the patronymic last names of children of Andreas Johannesson.

I see the emigration of Amanda Sofia on the Emihamn database. I don't see any children traveling with her. If she married in 1891, then the children born 1882, 1885, 1887, and 1889 were from a different marriage (or relationship) and perhaps they belonged to Peter and not to Amanda, since they married in 1891.

I googled a lot and found this page, in Swedish. http://www.gamlavykort.nu/forum3/forum_posts.asp?TID=541&PN=91 Google Translate isn't perfect, but it says this about Axel Larsson, photographer. Axel Larsen, a photographer in Gothenburg, Victoria Street 11, established in 1890 with branches in Axvall, Mölndal and Lindholmens Shipyard (Hisingen), is included in the Swedish photographers list in 1899 - all according to Lennart Quick summaries http://www.genealogi.se/ fotogr.htm Apparently not included in the 1911 list, if there can be no management. Maybe the Swedes will provide a better translation for you. Judy

David,
Try using the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. It has a website (Google it.) but its extensive collection of records is NOT online. We need to go there to research or pay them to research for us. They have resources which are difficult or even impossible to find elsewhere, and many of us have been helped by this archive.
I've learned much about the lives of my relatives in the U.S. (until about 1930) by using this archive, and I've found parishes of birth for those who married into our family using this archive. It is a wonderful resource.

Södra Lundby is the name of the parish. (Records were kept in the parish.) Skaraborg was the county name, but in modern times it is part of Västra Götaland county. Västergötland is the province name.
Eller means or. The location within the parish (probably a farm but perhaps a village) apparently was called either Anders Olofsgården or Lars Gislesgården.

The Elisabeth in the above family would have been FAR too young to marry around 1890. She did marry an Axel in 1921, but his last name was Johansson.

There is a Charles Hagg whose occupation was sausage maker. That seems to fit the butcher found in the 1900 U.S. Federal Census.
He was found in the Ballenger & Richards Twenty-fifth Annual Denver City Directory 1897 on Ancestry.com.
Hagg, Charles, sausagemkr, Hunt & Moore, rms 1829 Welton
I suppose that Hunt & Moore might be his employer. Rms 1829 Welton means that he rented a room at 1829 Welton which I suppose was in the city of Denver.

Apparently he went to Chicago, or at least he was there in 1910. You said you don't need his information, however. Perhaps this is Carl Gustaf Hagg in the 1900 U.S. Federal Census.

Maybe the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center can help you find Charles I. Anderson. The Swenson Center has a website (Google it.) but its extensive collection of records is NOT online.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA, as it is usually known) has microfilms. Some can be seen at their regional archives and at the main NARA, but the regional archives may not have all the films. http://www.archives.gov/locations/archival-research.html It used to be possible to rent microfilm from NARA, but apparently they no longer do this. It is not easy to figure out what is available for purchase, however. http://www.archives.gov/research/order/renting-microfilm.html http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~orjgs/Smith2.pdf http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/immigration/ Manifests can be ordered from a Family History Center (FHC) also. It is probably easier to search their catalog by the name of the port to see what is available. Some popular ports (not a complete list) were New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, etc. This is their online catalog. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp This shows locations of a FHC. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp You have to go to a Family History Center to do the ordering and then return in a few weeks once the film arrives. Try to save that ordering for films not available at a NARA, because the rental fee was about $5.50 and perhaps costs more now. Try to find a copy of They Came in Ships, by John P. Colletta, Ph.D. It tells how to research manifests. Perhaps you can find a copy in a local library. Long before there were any passenger lists online, I spent boring hour after boring hour after boring hour (and did this for weeks and months and years) to scroll through ship manifests. They are often exceedingly hard to read and some have the edge crumbled away (not the film; the originals) so that names don't show, or the films can be too dark or too light. (I LOVE doing genealogy and don't usually mind spending hours looking for information, so when I say it is boring to search through manifests, believe me.) I eventually realized that these early (prior to about 1900) manifests tell us basically nothing except the name of the ship and the date of arrival, etc. The genealogical information on early manifests is rather useless. The manifests tell us that the people were Swedish and were going to the U.S. (or wherever). Although it might be fun to find the manifest, there are many other far more useful things to do than search for one of these manifests. (Later manifests are very useful and worth searching for, but you want an early manifest.) However, everyone has different interests and this seems really important to you, so I hope you find your people on those lists. Good luck! Judy

Debbie, Naturalization records after the end of 1906 are quite informative but before that time, the information provided in those records varied greatly, depending upon where the person naturalized. Carl Wolf was lucky. You may or may not be. Records such as these in Chicago told that the person was Swedish, which we already knew. They weren't informative until the end of 1906 and later. After that, they were very informative. http://blogs.archives.gov/online-public-access/?p=2684 Many of us have found a parish of birth and much more by using an archive called the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. The Swenson Center has a website (Google it.) but its extensive collection of records is NOT online. We need to go there to research or pay them to research for us.

I guess that annexe assembly is an attempt to translate annexförsamling (annex parish). Read this definition from the SweGGate website. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~swewgw/ ___________________________ annexförsamling A Smaller parish that administratively belongs to another parish. The main parish is then named moderförsamling, often abridged moder....If a församling is subdivided (common in cities) the central one is called moderförsamling (mother parish) and the others annexförsamling (annex parishes). ___________________________ Judy

Joan, remember from your other thread on this subject that I provided a link to a message board which does lookups in passenger arrival manifests. Also remember that I looked on Emihamn and didn't find her leaving from a Swedish port. I suggested that she probably left from a port in Norway, Denmark, or Germany. This is that forum again. http://genforum.genealogy.com/immigrants/ Judy

This census is an extraction from a far more detailed parish record called the husförhörslängd (HFL) and translated as household examination record or clerical survey record. It is not a separate enumeration.
Yes, all those people were counted (and I suppose they worked for Carl Carlsson), but they were counted by the parish priest and not by someone walking around the neighborhood counting heads. The priest looked in his own parish records.
Try that immigration link. There are people who help on that forum who actually enjoy dealing with passenger manifest lookups. ;-) They are more likely to want to dig than I am. (I like to dig into genealogical records, but I don't like digging in passenger manifests.)

I haven't even found the port of entry for all of my own ancestors. The records are not all indexed, so looking for them online might not work. (I have found people on microfilm who can't be found on online indexes.)
I personally find looking for passenger lists rather boring, even for my own family. If the list is in later years (post 1900), then there is useful information on the list, but early manifests tell us the obvious information: they were Swedish and they were going to America.
I provided a link where you can ask for a lookup and perhaps they can be found on one of those lists. I did a very quick check of Ancestry.com's passenger lists and did not find them.

There are censuses in New York state for more than the typical years of 1900-1910-1920-1930. There were state censuses also. For example, look for state censuses in New York in 1892, 1905, 1915, and 1925. Get as much information as you can, because U.S. censuses are not known for complete accuracy.

The name is very common, so it is first necessary to find out where your Nils Andersson was born.
I looked on the Emibas CD and found a Nils Andersson with the same birthdate. He is listed twice. Do the others fit your family?

If this is your Nils Andersson, then it is possible for us to look up his parents, but there are far too many Nils Anderssons in Sweden to look up fathers for each one of them. (Records were kept in the parish and not in a country-wide listing.)

Lori,
You said you don't know where this is, but what is this?
If you mean Place of Origin, then Sverrig is probably Sverige, the Swedish name for Sweden.
If you mean Port of Departure, then Köpenhamn is the Swedish spelling of Copenhagen, a city and port in Denmark.
If this is something else, please elaborate.

I don't see how you can be so definite about which Olof is yours without looking at the birthdates in the household examination books. Both were born in Sorsele. If this were my family, I would feel very uncomfortable about choosing one or the other without further investigation.

This is your Olof. Work your way backwards in the Swedish parish records to see where your Olof lived (and also to check birthdates) in 1880. That will help you know which Olof is yours in 1880.
This man doesn't live in a listed place in the parish. That fact matches the second Olof Persson/Pehrsson, but still there is a need to check the birthdates of both men.

***BOTH*** men I listed for 1880 were born in Sorsele, so that is why I could not tell you which was yours without doing research in the parish records. You have chosen one of the men because he was born in Sorsele but you have eliminated another man who was also born in Sorsele.

Carlsson was the patronymic last name of each child, literally meaning Carl's son. Nilsson was the patronymic last name of the father, who was the son of Nils somebody. There already was a son named Carl in this family but perhaps he died and the son Charles (Carl/Karl is often Americanized to Charles.) may have been named after a deceased sibling. This renaming of a later child after a deceased child was very common. Try to find them in records of the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. (Google it.) The Swenson Center has a website but its extensive collection of records is NOT online. We need to go there to research or pay them to research for us. Check this website for more ideas on how to proceed. http://www.progenealogists.com/scandinavianimmigration.htm Also download the booklet on this page. It provides ideas on how to gather clues and also provides an overview of Swedish genealogy. http://www.swedenabroad.com/Page____82863.aspx These names are exceedingly common so you need to find more U.S. clues.

Send the information, including the källkod, to the regional archive (landsarkiv) which holds the records for the port city from which your person emigrated. What was this person's port of departure from Sweden? They will provide the name of the feeder ship which took the emigrant to Hull or Grimsby in England. (Starting about 1914? ?, the Swedish American Line had direct sailings but before then, the trip usually needed a feeder ship to England.) From there the emigrant took a train ride to a port such as Liverpool or Southampton and then boarded the larger ship for the trip across the ocean. They also provide the name of the travel agent. Those agents tended to deal with a particular shipping line, which narrows down the possibilities of ships used. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~swewgw/Emigr/thEmiTrav_Agents.htm http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~swewgw/Emigr/thEmiJourn.htm The landsarkiv will not know the name of the larger ship.

I found the birth/baptism record for Karl Svensson Brandt. http://www.genline.com (subscription site) 1578.8.87000, [Skaraborg] Söne, C.2, Births,Deaths, 1800 - 1861, 101-0, Image 58 of 136 Karl Johan was born 22 April and baptised 23 April 1848 in Söne parish in Skaraborg län (county). Parents were the soldier for Skog (a place in the parish, I suppose) Sven Larsson Fridga? and its wife, Greta Bengtsdotter. The mother was 25 years old. Baptism witnesses were also listed. Perhaps Fridga??? is the last name you mentioned. (or not) I can't find birth records in Södra Lundby for 1857 using Genline. The Family History Library Catalog gives the hint that these records were filmed with Larv parish, so I'll try there. It is confusing since apparently several parishes were in the same book but there is a Maja Stina born in Lundby (Södra Lundby later?) on 16 February and baptised 17 February 1857. She was the daughter of Per Johansson and Maria Andersdotter. 761.16.61600, [Skaraborg] Larv, C.5, Births,Deaths, 1830 - 1860, 0-0, Image 203 of 269 I know that you want us to tell you where to look but since records were kept in the parish, we need more to work with. Maybe this is your family but I would want to search for more clues. Have you done any searching at the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center, for example? (Google it.) The Swenson Center has a website but its extensive collection of records are not online. We need to go there to research or pay someone to research for us. Many of us have found the parish of birth using their records. If you use them, work quickly since they have a fairly long waiting list. You could get in sooner to do your own research, most likely, but you need to make an appointment. The research room is small and the staff is small. Since you are planning a trip to Sweden, download the booklet Tracing Your Swedish Ancestry linked on this site. It has an overview of Swedish genealogy and has suggestions on how to gather clues so that you have a better chance of finding your ancestors' location in Sweden. http://www.swedenabroad.com/Page____82863.aspx Judy

This doesn't fit perfectly, but the date of leaving the parish fits and the birthdate for the husband/father fits perfectly. If your Charles J. Brandt was the son of a Swan (probably Sven), then his patronymic last name would have been Svensson and Brant could be the Swedish version of the Brandt he used later. Carl/Karl often became Americanized to Charles.
However, the mother's last name isn't Edlund and the son was Karl Sanfrid, not Karl Johan.

The other people (without the specific details) were other members of the household, such as who the boys worked for or worked with. Stevens and Stewens won't sound at all the same in English, and I've never, ever, heard of a name Stewens. Perhaps they used a different spelling of Stevens, which would be Stephens, but I doubt they used Stewens. I looked for these people on the Social Security Death Index and didn't find them, unless G.

Evanston is a suburb north of Chicago, right next to the city and near (or perhaps next to) Lake Michigan. Chicago is the largest city in Illinois but the capital of Illinois is Springfield. I have never heard of an Everton, Illinois. I looked in the online 1895 U.S. Atlas and it was not listed. http://www.livgenmi.com/1895/IL/Index/e.htm You can see the location of Evanston on this 1895 map from the same site. http://www.livgenmi.com/1895/IL/County/cook.htm Judy

I looked on the Emibas CD but the only possibility with that name and birthdate came from a totally different part of Sweden and also came later than yours. Near Stockholm is a common place of origin according to stories passed down to descendants and it often doesn't end up as a true place of origin. Stockholm is both a city and a county. Also, many of our ancestors mentioned the nearest large place as the place of origin and your ancestor may have come from a county near Stockholm. I have even found people supposedly born in Stockholm who were born on the opposite side of the country. Do you know the names of the parents? Do you have details about the parents? Have you used the archive called the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center? (Google it.) The Swenson Center has a website but its extensive collection of records is NOT online. We need to go there to research or pay them to research for us. They have records which are difficult or even impossible to find elsewhere and many of us have been helped there. The following website has ideas on how to try to find the parish of origin for Scandinavians (including Swedes, of course) who came to the U.S. in the early days. Records were kept in the parish. http://www.progenealogists.com/scandinavianimmigration.htm Also look at this website and download the free booklet that is mentioned there. It provides some ideas on how to gather clues to help us find the origins of our ancestors in Sweden, in addition to also providing an overview of Swedish genealogy. http://www.swedenabroad.com/Page____82863.aspx I have had great success using the records of local genealogical and historical societies, especially for people who came around the time you mentioned. Search for societies using this link. http://www.familyhistory.com/societyhall/search.asp There is an excellent library for the Rock Island County Historical Society. They do lookups for a fee, or you can go there to research. http://www.richs.cc/library.html Judy

Michael, The death cd starts in 1947, so your Johan Erik Eliasson Stålnacke couldn't be on it. Finding information on his death involves more than a simple lookup. I see him on the 1880 Swedish Census. He is listed as a Finne. http://www.svar.ra.se (subscription site) Homeparish: Övertorneå Residence: Juoksengi County: Norrbotten Page: 21 Row: 18 widower Johan Erik Eliaeson Stålnacke, b. 1821 in Övertorneå Norrbottens län, Inhyses = lodger s.

He might have died in that time period or else he left Sweden. I'll do a bit of looking for you, but I don't have a lot of time. If I find something before someone else does, I'll tell you what I find. Judy

The only Karl August Skog who died in 1970, according to the CD-ROM Swedish Death Index, was born in 1885 (not 1895) and was born in Skerike parish in Västmanland län (not in the U.S.) He was registered in Västerås Badelunda, Västerås kn (Västmanlands län, Västmanland) at the time he died.

I am not convinced that Beda Harling is your Beda, but here is more about her husband.
He was listed on the World War I Draft Registrations on Ancestry.com. I will try to send you the image.
The transcriber had trouble with his second given name. I think it is Lars, but it is not clear. See what you think when you see the record. (I am quite sure it is not Luis.)
Name: Frank Luis Harling
City: Chicago
County: Cook
State: Illinois
Birth Date: 21 Jun 1881
Race: White
FHL Roll Number: 1503859
DraftBoard: 72
Source Citation: Registration Location: Cook County, Illinois; Roll 1503859; Draft Board: 72.
He lived at 6039 Elisabeth. (I lived during part of my childhood at 8745 Elisabeth on the south side of Chicago.) He apparently arrived in the U.S. with a father, since his naturalization status as a citizen is from his father, according to the form. (Citizen by father's naturalization before registrant's majority means that his father became a citizen before Frank was of age (that is, 21 years old, or whatever the age was back then to become of age.)
He was an elevator operator. His nearest relative was Beda Harling. He had blue eyes and light hair. The registration date was 12 September 1918.

Hi Birgitta,
This is the person I found but I don't think she is yours because of the birthdate difference. I also can't find her in any of the previous censuses.

The actual census form is more detailed. It says Beda was a widow. The children were born in Illinois but both parents were born in Sweden. The mother was a naturalized citizen and immigrated 1904. (Women seldom tried to get naturalized on their own, so probably she automatically became a citizen when her husband did.) They lived at 6039 West 61st Street in Chicago.
I looked on the Social Security Death Index, which showed the birthdate of this Beda. This is why I think this is the wrong Beda.
Name Birth Death Last Residence Last Benefit SSN Issued
BEDA HARLING 19 Mar 1880 May 1964 (Illinois) (none specified) 339-22-8517 Illinois
She would have filled out her own Social Security Application. It can be ordered for $27 and takes a few weeks to obtain. Questions on the application include her name at birth, where she was born (which hopefully would be better than just saying Sweden), and the names of both parents. That is supposed to include her mother's maiden name.
This is the letter to send. You need to fill in some information and also, I'm sure you would have to pay in U.S. funds.

I don't know why but Scandinavian records in the US are really a mess. I haven't noticed that problem. I suppose there are always exceptions but the Swedish American Immigration Research Center has excellent Swedish American records. They have a website but their extensive collection of records is not online. I have found much useful information there. http://www.augustana.edu/x13856.xml Judy

Hi Anna-Carin,
Tack så mycket for this wonderful effort! I am very grateful for your translations and help with the two records from the Stockholms Stadsarkiv.
I do have some questions.
# 1
1864 Juli 25 Bewiljad Belöningsmedalj 6,019. (granted award medal)
I am guessing that Erik Mattsson (foster father of Johan Ulrik Ekman) received that medal. Do you have any idea why? Did he receive a medal for taking care of Johan Ulrik all those years?
# 2
1848 21/3 Kolt. (child's frock, as opposed to swaddling-clothes; but I doubt he'd have been swaddled for nearly two years, so it might mean he was moved to a ward for toddlers, which were called koltbarn (frock children) in Swedish child care well into the 20th century - the word looks like Rolt but that doesn't make any sense to me at all)
This is very interesting and I never would have known about the frock children or the frock. However, Johan Ulrik was living with the foster family at that time, as far as I can tell from the husförhörslängder. Does this record say they took him back into the barnhus? That would be the only way he could be in a ward.
# 3
Were the unwed mothers expected to work as a wet nurse to pay for their care in the pregnancy and childbirth?
Thank you again. I appreciate your help.
Judy

No one has ever helped me with that posting. I looked today on the SVAR site but their records for Allmänna Barnbördshuset begin in 1847. I have found who the mother of Johan Ulrik Ekman was. She was Johanna Sofia Ekman. I have not been able to find her in the city of Stockholm around that time period, but I have found a few other children born to a mother with the same name. Maybe they are half-siblings to my farmors far, Johan Ulrik Ekman. I found the mother at the Stockholms Stadsarkiv site. http://tinyurl.com/mbl2pm There were two records for Johan Ulrik, and I only understand part of those records. I do see the foster parents named. He lived with those foster parents until he was old enough to care for himself. I have found him in the husförhörslängder until he left Sweden. I have trouble with part of these records too. http://tinyurl.com/l7898z http://tinyurl.com/lew4dj Sadly, I can't find your Johan Ulrik on the same site. I can tell from the links you provided that you are still unable to find the parents of your Johan Ulrik. I've wondered if perhaps more could be found at the Stockholm Stadsarkiv. I suppose they must have more information not posted online. I still have been unable to figure out where the Nilsson in Johan Ulrik Nilsson Ekman came from. (I saw Nilsson only on the Söder CD.) Good luck with your search! Judy

Hi Elisabeth,
You are so good at reading these difficult records. I have never seen anything like that cause of death and it sounds horrible.
My brother is a pathologist and always says when I tell him various causes of death found in these records: They really didn't know. That is probably quite true since autopsies were not done, most likely, and modern medicine is far ahead of the state of medical knowledge in the old days. However, it is still interesting to know what our ancestors thought caused these deaths.
I can't help but wonder how anyone could determine melting of bone marrow.
Thanks, Elisabeth, for solving this mystery. I'm sure all of us who go to the SAG Workshop will be pestering you with more of these difficult records this coming October. Get your rest! ;-)

Correction:
I wrote about Ernst Teodor:
(Your dates, by the way, had him dying years before he was even born.)
I meant to write that comment about Erhard Melcher. You wrote that he was born in 1898 and died in 1883, which would have had him dying 15 years before he was born. I think your birth year of 1898 was meant to be 1878 and it was either misread or there was a typo.

death record of Ernst Teodor: GID # 100008.88.35000 He indeed died 16 July 1883. (Your dates, by the way, had him dying years before he was even born.) He was one year, 9 months, and 4 days old (assuming the priest's math was correct) and died of slag which was something sudden. This is how the SweGGate website defines slag. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~swewgw/Fact/Med/facdic_med.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------- slag O (among > 60 different meanings, a common one = a blow) medical diagnosis with several uses but always in connection with a sudden and severe medical crisis. Usually specified like hjärtslag (heart stop), slaganfall ((cerebral) stroke). When used as cause of death as slag it probably referred to a cerebral stroke, easily recognizable through paralysis. When used in the meaning a blow it was often specified, e.g. slagen af åskan (hit by lightning), sparkad af häst (kicked by a horse), ihjälslagen af svärsonen (killed by the son-in-law). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- death record of Erhard Melcher: GID # 100008.88.35100 He did die 16 November 1883 at the age of 5 years, 10 months, and 10 days. He died of lung inflammation. death record of Elin Sofia (born 1880): GID # 100008.84.6700 Elin Sofia died 14 February 1881 and her cause of death is listed. I can't read it, however. Judy

Marriage record for Carl August Carlsson and Juliana Vilhelmina Svensdotter:
GID # 100008.72.17500
I think she was divorced. I'm not sure. He had never been married before. This is the first marriage on the right side of that page.
birth record of Wilhelm Ferdinand:
GID # 100008.18.67300
I see now where the name Gustafsson came from but Wilhelmina Juliana was not the son or daughter of Gustaf. Her first husband was the son of a man named Gustaf something, according to patronymic naming customs but she probably never called herself Gustafsson. She probably kept her own patronymic name.
The father, who you haven't listed and I'm not sure you know his name, was Frans Wilhelm Gustafsson. Remember that the daugher was Fransdotter (daughter of Frans) in one of their records listed above.
This appears to be the emigration of the father, as shown on the Emibas CD.

She was baptised on February 20, 1843 and baptism witnesses were listed. The family lived in Valdemarsvik, a place in Ringarum parish.

I can't make any trip soon. I had major surgery last week, and soon I have to receive a lot of treatment which will last a few months. I doubt I will remember this request by the time I get there, which could be a year or more from now. I don't have great urgency to get there soon, since I have mined their resources many times over the last few years and it is only a few new finds which have to be checked.
I doubt those records will ever be online.
Perhaps someone who lives closer will be able to help you. Perhaps you could post on a locality board near there and ask someone to check for you. The Swenson Center is in Rock Island County, Illinois. There should be boards for that county on Rootsweb and Genforum.

Hi John,
Yes, I've been to the Swenson Center a lot of times, but it is not at all close to where I live. I have to drive a few hours to get there. I usually go on a Monday afternoon or evening (since the Swenson Center is closed on Mondays), research Tuesday through Friday, and return home on Friday (if I'm not too tired) or Saturday morning. I haven't been there recently since I've found much of what I need, but sometimes I want to go there. I doubt I'll be going there any time in the next few months, however.
The Swenson Center is fantastic and the campus (Augustana College) is beautiful. (I graduated from Augustana in 1967, so visiting there is nostalgic for me.)

John,
All depended upon the time period. In the 1880s and 1890s, my ancestors seemed to take about two-three weeks to travel from Göteborg to England to the U.S., but closer to two weeks than three. In the 1920s, the trip probably took a few days to a week or so.
In the 1860s and earlier, trips probably took a few months depending upon the wind speed and direction of the wind.
It is impossible to estimate without a time period.

Swedish Genealogical Dictionary is a very useful dictionary for those of us who don't have Swedish for a native language. However, its definitions are short and certainly the discussion in this thread expands greatly upon the information in that book.

I see that you have a name and dates now. (I'm glad.) I had prepared this message for Discussions in English but was unable to post when the message was moved here. I noticed it had disappeared and a brief search found it in this section.
Do you have a full birthdate for this man? I suppose I could check on Genline but it is easier if you already know. There are 22 Axel Anderson hits on the Social Security Death Index and if you are lucky, he is one of them, but none lived in Alaska. If he died before about 1962, he is probably not listed, because this index was made using computers and they probably didn't go back to get the people who died before they used computers.
I realize you need to know about this man after 1941 but I'm trying to identify him in earlier records so that perhaps more clues could be found.
1930 U.S. Federal Census:
Name: Axel Anderson
Home in 1930: Cordova, Third Judicial District, Alaska Territory
Age: 41
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1889
Birthplace: Sweden
Relation to Head of House: Partner
Race: White
Household Members: Name Age
Paul Jones 49 (emigrated from Sweden in 1898: occupation: trail foreman for forest service
Axel Anderson 41 (emigrated from Sweden in 1923; alien; occupation: laborer for forest service
The township was Katalla Village and this 1930 census was enumerated in 1929.
I suggest searching on one of the Alaska forums I mentioned. Perhaps someone has access to local telephone books, newspapers, and so forth.

Hi Michelle, Actually, I have found some parish names for some people who married into our family using Swedish American church records. (Lutheran Churches and Covenant Churches, for example, put the parish of birth in their records.) I have also found parish names listed in obituaries from Swedish American newspapers and in some of the cds and microfilms for emigration found there. Make sure you make an appointment for the Swenson Center. They don't want us to just walk in. There is information about how to research in Swedish parish records on the following url. http://genforum.genealogy.com/hoagland/messages/745.html Judy

Hi Mats,
It is possible that the stamped word is Betald. (I hope that is what it says.) The first letter has a straight left side and the rest of that letter starts to curve, so it could be a B. I think the letter in front of LD is an A, now that you provided a word to compare the stamped part with. The rest of that stamped word is basically invisible but seems to be about the right length to be that word.
I don't mind the payment (if I don't have to convert from dollars to SEK), especially if it helps with the spam problem we had before, but this is really confusing. There are lots of abbreviations on the invoice, and I don't understand Swedish abbreviations very well, unless I've seen them a lot of times in my genealogy. ;-)
I would have used a dictionary, but it is impossible to look up words when only the last two letters can be seen. Thanks so much for helping me with this.

I thought I HAD paid by credit card, using the link provided above. However, I received an invoice today. I do understand that att betala means to pay but why did I enter my credit card number on the internet if I now have to pay again?
Something has been stamped on the invoice but unfortunately it wasn't stamped hard enough. I can tell it ends with LD but the first part of the word is too dim to read.
I have to say that I'm not sure it is worth going through this stress to be able to post on Anbytarforum. It will cost far too much money to convert dollars to SEK for such a small sum.

The SVAR site (also fee-based) is starting to scan some mantalslängder. http://www.svar.ra.se The rest of my answer requires that you have access to a Family History Center. You need to order films there and view them there. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp If you can go to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, you will have access to the help of the people at the Scandinavian Desk. (These records aren't as easy to use as parish records.) If you want to see mantalslängder on microfilm, you can find film numbers listed in the Family History Library Catalog. Look under the län and then select Taxation. Then select Mantalslängder. Look for your parish (and the appropriate year) and then select the film number or numbers you need. To find bouppteckningar (estate inventories), you need to look in the Family History Library Catalog under the name of the härad (judicial district). Then select Probate Records which leads to Bouppteckningar. Court records are also kept under the name of the härad. Specific questions are much easier to answer. ;-) Judy

That online directory is not the same directory I used to check addresses for Axel Hanquist, but you can check addresses and see who lived in a certain place and near that place. You can see who the neighbors were. Chicago streets were renumbered in 1909. This site helps convert 'old' addresses to the 'new' ones. http://www.chsmedia.org/househistory/1909snc/start.pdf This site has some street name change information and links to the 1909 changes and some 1911 changes. http://www.rootsweb.com/~itappcnc/pipcnstreet.htm Judy

Hi Ingela,
About this part of your original message:
and sometime around 1921-1924 have had a daughter by the name of Margir.
Perhaps Margir is the Marjorie born about 1923 to Ray Hamquist and his wife. It is perhaps possible that she was really the daughter of an unmarried Ruth and was taken as a daughter by her brother and his wife, or else your informant was confused about whose daughter she was.
It is going to be hard to help further without more clues from your American relatives about who these people married, etc., but in a few years (2012) the 1940 U.S. Federal Census will be released and that will provide a few more clues and perhaps enough clues to solve the mystery.

The ship's arrival manifest should provide his place of birth and a relative in Sweden. That will be available on microfilm that you can order from any Family History Center.
His naturalization records will be very detailed and you can obtain those from the NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) archive in the area where he naturalized.
This is the email for the archive covering Gävleborg and some other counties in that area.
landsarkivet@landsarkivet-harnosand.ra.se
His application for a Social Security number should provide the names of his parents (including his mother's maiden name), his place of birth, his full name, etc.

Who were the children? Were any of them born in Sweden? If so, what are details on those children?
What is listed for a month and year of birth in the 1900 U.S. Federal Census for those who came from Sweden? Were the years of birth estimated or were they found on some document or record? What is the source of the birth years?
Were they married before or after leaving Sweden? The number of years a couple has been married is listed on the 1900 and 1910 U.S. Federal Censuses.
Where did they live after coming to the U.S.?
It seems that the person you are trying to help hasn't provided you with some important information, and the information can be found in U.S. Censuses which are available online.

Hej Lennart, I noticed that your relative was buried at Rosenhill. I don't know of any Rosenhill Cemetery. I wonder if the cemetery might have been Rosehill Cemetery. http://tinyurl.com/2e88wj Others in the family may have been buried there too, so contacting them might provide you with death dates and other information for this family. Judy

Hi Lennart, The Nelson Funeral Home is still in existence and I suggest that you write to them. They should have the address and contact information for these people and maybe they (or descendants) will still be alive and living in the same location. (The children, if they died, may have used the same funeral home, so information on their deaths will lead to more relatives, most likely.) Ask them to contact the relatives for you and hopefully those relatives will be happy to hear from you. http://www.nelsonfunerals.com/ Nelson Funeral Home will have information about the cemetery where this person was buried. Relatives probably have to maintain the graves (financially, at least) so the cemetery probably knows the contact information of the children. Also consider posting on the Cook County Rootsweb list. (Chicago is in Cook County.) That list is very active and very helpful. Tell them you are a Swede living in Sweden and that may get you even more help. (I have seen several Swedes posting there and they were treated very well.) The list I am talking about is the first one on this page. http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/usa/IL/cook.html Judy

Debbie, The destination was not necessarily the port of arrival. Many of our ancestors traveled by various means (railroad, boats, etc.) to their final destinations after arriving in a port. (Have you ever read Moberg's books? There are four books in The Emigrants series and you can learn how the people in that story traveled to Minnesota after arriving in the port of New York.) As just one example from my family history, my farmor and her sister traveled with a destination of Jamestown (which means the one in New York State). They didn't travel to the port of Jamestown (and there wasn't one, either). I happened to find them in the microfilmed records of the Larsson Brothers ticket agency (Brödderna Larsson). They landed in the port of New York and then traveled by train -- I forget which one. -- by way of Salamanca and then to Jamestown. I have a cd which shows old railroad routes and I could see how that railroad branched off and exactly what towns they passed on their way. This site provides ideas on how to find passenger manifests. http://home.att.net/~arnielang/shipgide.html Judy

I have been looking at some records which use försvarlig and godkänd, as well as god.
One record is for the marriage banns of my farfar and farmor. Her Christian knowledge was listed as god and his was listed as försvarlig.
Another type of record is the confirmation record for my farmor and her sister. They both were listed as god in Christian knowledge but most children on the page were listed with godkänd.
I understand that god = good. How do those other words compare to good? Dictionaries are not helpful enough. I'm confused.
Thank you!

You didn't tell what type of information you need. It is best to be specific.

Fellows is a British English translation of Medåkande and the Fellows: Ja (yes) or Nej (no) refers to others traveling on the same ticket. I have found that often the Nej is incorrect and there are others with that person.
The source numbers refer to volume:page: ticket number.
E is the code for Östergötland län (county).

If that information is not listed in the birth record, perhaps there are other records to use. I am not familiar with research in the unfilmed records, other than knowing that some have had good luck with bouppteckningar, but this is an article written by Elisabeth Thorsell which might provide some ideas for you. http://www.genealogi.se/roots/barn.htm Lycka till!

What are false children? Perhaps I will understand the Swedish words for false children.
Do you mean oäkta which is illegitimate in English?

Remember that some states had censuses in off years (usually but not always in years ending with 5). You mentioned some Rockströms died in Minnesota. That is one of the states with those extra censuses. Much of what I have learned about my Swedes after they landed in the U.S. has come from the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. They have a website but their extensive collection of records is not online. http://www.augustana.edu/swenson/ Perhaps that missing child was alive long enough to be found in the baptism records and later, in the death records of a Swedish American church and don't forget the wonderful obituaries many of our Swedes had in Swedish-American newspapers.

Have you seen the handwritten ship arrival manifests or just the transcription of those manifests? I have seen some very bad transcriptions, probably because the transcriber was not familiar with Swedish names.
I doubt she posed as a male. The person writing the manifest probably saw the Ed* part and assumed that meant male. (I think they filled in names first and then, when they had time, filled in genders.)

Several of the children aren't listed with these people. Perhaps an error was made transcribing this database or back in 1878 or ?
This record says Tyringe parish and the other record says Finja but they appear to be the same people (other than the missing children). The father appears to have a different emigration date but perhaps it was misread, and I did find the missing children in a different search. (Look below.) They probably did not come up together because part of this was written on page 193 of volume 12 and part was written on page 194 of volume 12. All had the same ticket number, which was 4410.

You wrote: One of Hilda's decendants thinks there was a child born before the 3 children that are listed in our US records.
The 1900 and 1910 U.S. Federal Censuses have a column asking how many children a mother has had and a different column asking how many children are still alive. Check that and see if there is evidence of another child.

I think it is more likely that he went ahead of the rest of the family to get a home and a job, since he was not found with them on the ship's manifest. It could be that the priest didn't record that he was not still in the parish (and he had not registered to leave) and the priest's record keeping wasn't up to date and somehow it looked (to the person transcribing the records for Emibas) as if he left at the same time as the rest of the family.
Having said that, I have seen cases in which the husband went back to escort his family but it doesn't seem to have happened in this case.
Maybe someone has the death certificate of Charles Stein and you can compare his birthdate to that of Anders Fredrik Carlsson.

By the way, the enumerator did not talk to each and every person in the household. They were lucky to find someone at home and took advantage of whatever that person could tell them and they did not have time to come back to each household to talk to every person living there. We have no idea who answered the questions so there can be inaccuracies in month and year of birth, year of immigration, etc. It might have been a child answering the questions or perhaps a neighbor answered or perhaps the person was confused because English was still new or The U.S. Censuses are not known for accuracy and one census is not necessarily consistent with the next census. Even consistency is not a sign of accuracy. My farfar's date of immigration in each census was 1890 but several records (mostly Swedish records but also U.S. records) prove he actually left Sweden in 1891. Judy

Try to find more about Charles Stein. Maybe he will be found in the records of the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. They have a website but their extensive collection of records is not online. http://www.augustana.edu/swenson/ Stein is possible but Sten is more likely, assuming he didn't just leave Sweden with his patronymic name. (name ending with son) Many of our emigrants used patronymics when they emigrated and changed later on to a surname. My mormor married a Wennersten in her first marriage but I've found Wennerstens listed as Wennerstein in U.S. records, so maybe the same thing happened to your Stein. He might have been Sten first. Here is a listing of Sten males with a given name starting with C or K and emigrating from 1880-1884 who are on the Emihamn database, which consists of registrations with Swedish port police.

They were married 16 December 1876, according to the 1885-1890 husförhörslängd (HFL; clerical survey record; household examination record) for Norrköpings Norra (Matteus) parish. That handwritten record is online at the fee-based Genline site. http://www.genline.com This is the specific page on Genline where this record can be found. GID # 460.6.71500 That record lists their household and those children were specifically listed as twins (tvillingar) in that record. The wife Maria Roxström is listed as Methodist with the date 15 September 1884. There will be a more detailed record of their marriage in the marriage book for the parish where they married, but I don't have time to search to see where they were married and find those details for you. The record should easily be found on Emibas in the SCB records (most likely in Östergötland län) if you join Genline, and perhaps someone else has the time to search for you. Genline tells about the SCB records. http://www.genline.com/databasen/SCB-materialet.php

There actually are arrival manifests which list the crew members. I've seen them on microfilm and I've seen some online on the Ellis Island site. However, Ellis Island opened in 1892 and that is decades past the arrival date you listed. Have you done any checking at the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center? They have a website but their extensive collection of records is not online. http://www.augustana.edu/swenson/ He may not have used Linn or Lindström until after he emigrated. Many left with their patronymic names. (= son/dotter names) Do you have a more complete birthdate? Is 1865 an estimate based on ages in later censuses? If he was living in 1900, you can find a column for a month and year of birth in the 1900 U.S. Federal Census. Have you found his arrival on a passenger manifest or are you basing his arrival in 1865 on an immigration year found in a census? Those immigration years are often not consistent from one census to another, and they are not necessarily correct even if they are consistent. I see this person (who may or may not be yours) on the Emibas CD. Emibas was made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country. It is about 75% complete.

Nils Lofkvist (Note the spelling.) arrived on 22 August 1923 in New York (from the Ellis Island site). I entered 1923 on the white form of Stephen Morse's site and starts with Lof and that is all. There were two hits and he was the one from Sunne.
The form is typed and he is on line 12. He sailed on the S.S. Kungsholm, which was a Swedish American Line ship. It sailed from Gothenburg on 11 August 1923(apparently a direct sailing; Gothenburg is the English spelling of Göteborg.) There are two pages to the manifest and it opens with the second page. If you close that page and click next, you will see a copy of the same side of the manifest. Never fear. Close that page again and click Next one more time and the first side of the manifest page shows up.
It is FAR less expensive, by the way, to order the microfilm of this arrival from a Family History Center and print it there than it would be to pay the huge price the Ellis Island site expects. They have disabled some printing functions and you won't get a copy of the entire manifest from your printer unless someone here can suggest a way to do that.

Christa, I use Stephen's Morse's portal to the Ellis Island records. http://stevemorse.org/ Usually I use his white form. You can use starts with (for example) to perhaps find him if you aren't sure how the name would have been spelled or transcribed. The indexers were not necessarily good at reading names of Swedes. I've seen some very strange transcriptions of a name which looked very clear to me. Not all people entered through the port of New York: Ellis Island, by the way. There were other very popular ports. This site provides information on how to find passenger arrival manifests. http://home.att.net/~arnielang/shipgide.html Judy

I see what you mean. I checked the SCB births for Norra Hestra and none started at the right time. They weren't found in the births for Hestra on the dates found on Emibas.
The HFL do have errors (probably because the priests had as much trouble reading their own writing as we do) so work backwards from the time they left to emigrate and hopefully you will find better dates and/or better birth parish information.
Good luck!

Emibas provides the page numbers in the household examination record where they can be found at the time they left Sweden. That should help you quickly find them on Genline and then you can work backwards to find their parents. Remember that I don't know if Clara belongs to you.
Have you used the SCB records for their births? Those should provide the parents.
I don't see any searchable database listing their parents but it should not be hard for you to find them on Genline. What records have you checked there?

Adm followed by a year is the year they were confirmed.
The L for Anna Elvira Katharina in line 4 probably stands for Lysnings = marriage banns. There should be three dates. Perhaps the 23 is the first of those three dates and 95 is the year (1895).

He is about the right age to be the man returning from a visit to Sweden, so perhaps he could be checked in the parish records to see if he is a sibling of Carolina Mathilda.
Wild guess (and there is little support except that she left from Mossebo as Johan Aron did and in the same year and also because she was born about the estimated time that your Aron's wife was according to Emigranten Populär).

Try to find Aron and his family on a U.S. ship manifest. Their last residence will give you a clue to where they visited. My farfars sister and husband went back and forth between Sweden and Chicago (four or five times)before they returned to Sweden in about 1907 for the rest of their lives. Their last residence (Södertälje) was listed on the last few manifests (early 1900s and late 1890s).

I can't find them on Emibas using the information you provided but maybe they can be found on Emihamn (but not using Höglund. It is very possible they didn't use Höglund until they left Sweden.)

I can't remember what the clue was exactly since he has posted a lot but this person (or maybe someone connected to this person) was found on a census in North Dakota, where there also is a Jamestown.
I agree, however, that Jamestown in New York is the most likely location for others who just know the family member went to Jamestown. It was and is a very Swedish town.

A person could be on Emibas even if he/she emigrated from Bremen.
This man is listed as registering to leave his parish on 18 April 1884. That seems quite a long time before 23 August but perhaps the date was misread or perhaps he was just organized and told his parish he was leaving a long time before he actually left (and I've seen examples of that) or perhaps he is a different person.

I remember helping a Swede once with an Axel who changed his name to Alex in the U.S. (The naturalization record showed both Axel and Alex for the same person and said he was changing names.) Be open to Axel as well as Alexander. The Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center has excellent information but there is a long waiting list for their help. They have a website but their extensive collection of records is not online. Many of us have solved difficult problems with the records from that archive. http://www.augustana.edu/swenson/ Judy

Linnea, I don't have time to look for you to see when Mathilda died (I'm going on a trip tomorrow morning.), and that record might not even be online. Death records for all the parishes in Örebro län are available until 1897.(Look under Örebro and then select scb instead of the name of the parish on Genline.) After that, they are on microfilm until 1920. Order the microfilm from a Family History Center. (The Family History Library catalog lists these films under Orebro (without the dots over the o letters --> Civil Registrations --> utdrag ur ministerialböcker --> year --> Döda). http://www.genline.com (fee-based) http://www.genline.com/databasen/SCB-materialet.php Judy

I found unnamed parents for my farmors far who was born 1846 in Allmänna in that city. However, he had two photos on that Stockholms Stadsarkiv site and one actually worked. That one provided the name of his mother and some more useful information. I haven't yet contacted the Stockholms stadsarkiv to get more information but it is most likely available.
Email address for the Stockholms Stadsarkiv:
stadsarkivet@ssa.stockholm.se
You should be able to write to them in English. Any records sent, most likely, will be in Swedish because they would be copies of the originals, probably, but you can always get those translated.

Is this information from Family Search ( http://www.familysearch.org) or it from some Swedish parish records you found on microfilm or on Genline? Family Search is not at all a complete listing of all people who have lived. Only one of my four grandparents is listed there and only a couple of their ancestors are on that site. Certainly there would have been many more possibilities for someone named Anders Olofsson and born about that time period in Sweden or even in one of those parishes. That name is exceedingly common. I very much doubt that the Swedish parish records would call her Mrs. Oluf Andersson. That sounds like something we would find on Family Search when the researcher who submitted that information didn't go back far enough. (Women didn't take the patronymic name of their husbands back then.) I also doubt that a 13 year old girl would have been allowed to marry (but of course that was a long time ago and I am not an expert). She was probably not even old enough to have been confirmed. This topic has been partially discussed on the Genforum board. It is very important to use the Swedish letters, as Ingela told you. http://genforum.genealogy.com/sweden/messages/27187.html Judy

Soldat = soldier. Bonde = farmer.
He is someone to investigate in the Swedish parish records. I don't have time but I suspect that Anna Dahlrot went to family when her husband emigrated. This man left too soon to be there but someone else may have been.

I have no time to check for sure, but there is a man named Såg Olof Larsson, born 15 August 1820 listed above Lars Olsson (son of Olof something else)on the Genline page listed previously. His wife was Kerstin Ersdotter (daughter of Erik something else), born 29 December 1820.
The writing was difficult but I think it says Son above the name of your Lars Olsson.
Below Lars Olsson's family, there is a listing of another son:
Såg Erik Olsson, born 4 February 1850, married 5 February 1874
Wife Anna Larsdotter, born 9? September? 1847
d. Anna Maria, born 3 March 1878
d. Ida Kristina, born 9 March 1883
s. Anders Johan, born 11 March 1885
(I haven't transcribed various notes found on these pages.)

I checked Genline, a fee-based site with scans of the handwritten Swedish parish records. http://www.genline.com I see which Lars Olsson was married to Anna Dahlrot. It is on this specific page on Genline. GID # (Genline Identification Number) 2186.28.31500 The Lars Olsson you need was born 26 March 1846. The couple married 13 October 1867. Lars went to North America 30 October 1882, certificate number 56. The rest of the family moved to Näset 35 on 3 November 1882. You can see this record and do more research using Genline. If you subscribe quickly, there is a sale going on which is quite reasonable. You can use the records for seven days for approximately $7. Remember that the sale ends hours more quickly in Sweden than it does in the U.S. due to time zones. http://www.genline.com/prislista/index.php#offers Judy

The Rosenberg CD says that Kittan is a village in Älvdalen parish in Kopparbergs län (county). That is in Dalarna landskap (province) where farm names were added to the beginning of a person's name. I suppose that is the Lag/Lagg part. Those farm names changed if a person changed farms. http://www.genealogi.se/roots/farmname.htm I see a few possibilities born in and/or leaving from Älvdalen parish using the Emibas CD but how can we know if any of those might be yours without even an approximate birthdate? None have Lag along with their names. You said he arrived June 1883. Do you have a specific date? I assume you have found him on a passenger manifest. If so, that will perhaps help with eliminating possibilities found on Emibas, but that cd is only about 75% complete. If you haven't found him on a manifest, the date might just be approximate. A specific location or locations in Minnesota might help us with using another database called Emihamn, but not all Swedes left through a Swedish port and that is what Emihamn was made from: records of registrations with Swedish port police. Was he married when he left Sweden? Death certificates often have a birthdate. Church records may have his birth parish, birthdate, burial information, etc. Many find the church records and other very helpful records using the Swenson Center. The Swenson Center records aren't online but they do have a website. http://www.augustana.edu/swenson/ Could this be Anna? I found this information on Emibas.

Perhaps the husband/father left earlier to find work and a home before sending for his family. That would not be unusual.

You are in luck, perhaps, if the people went to Ottumwa, Iowa. There is a very active genealogical society (Wapello County Genealogical Society) which has a library there.

Marilyn,
By the way, I have found manifests for some of my ancestors which had New York on the Emihamn database and Chicago on the manifest of arrival. Some of the emigrants may have only prepaid as far as New York and then made arrangements for the rest of the journey once they arrived, or else they changed their mind on the journey.

Halland is a province and also a län in Sweden. I thought the tiny image might be Halland and Mats saw that or Holland (but the fact that he spoke Swedish eliminates Holland, most likely.
It is possible that he was Johnsson in Sweden (I've seen a few.) but more likely he was one of the other possibilities which were often Americanized to Johnson. Nels is an Americanization of Nils.

Can you make the mysterious location larger so we can see it better? We probably don't need to see the rest of the image so just use that small part.
By the way, entering John Johnson on Emibas won't work. The name has been Americanized from something like Johan/Johannes/Jon/Jöns/Jonas/etc. Johansson/Johannesson/Jonsson/Jönsson/Jonasson/etc. I tried every possibility I could think of. Remember that Emibas is only about 75% complete and the name is far too common.
I also searched for Kristina/Christina/Stina/Kerstina/Cherstina, etc and couldn't find her. Your best bet probably is the Swenson Center.

Consistency of immigration year on U.S. censuses is not necessarily an indication of accuracy. My farfar always had 1890 listed as his year of leaving Sweden. but several Swedish records clearly indicate he left in 1891. The censuses in the U.S. were only supposed to provide a state or country of birth. How sad that the person made a mistake by writing what appears to be a specific location in Sweden and yet it still isn't helpful. Your ancestor may have provided a farm or village name. I see a farm name used when my farfar (who by then had left the U.S., lived in Canada for decades, and then returned to the U.S.) told his birthplace, as found on the St. Albans Records in 1924. Could you post that entry on this forum so others more familiar with Swedish geography could see it? This is the directions page for posting images. http://aforum.genealogi.se/discus/messages/2450/29815.html?1022962899#POST172494 I wonder if the spelling of Bundeson/Boudson would have been Bondesdotter/Bondesson in Sweden.

I actually meant to mention the gap between Amanda and Alma. Children were born about every two years in those days. Part of them might have died or left home.
What are some towns where Albert lived (or lived near) in British Columbia?

The SVAR site has a Karl Forslund married to a Bothilda in the 1880 Swedish Census, which isn't completely transcribed. I don't see an Albert in that family but research them in the Swedish parish records and maybe he is part of this family. http://www.svar.ra.se (subscription site) Homeparish: Riseberga Residence: Ljung County: Kristianstad Page: 41 Row: 30 Fam. nr 1 Karl Forslund, b. 1830 in Riseberga Kristianstads län, Husar f.d.

The 1880 Swedish Census is not completely transcribed but here is something for you. (I was guessing here but the Klara CD [Look below.] confirms she has the correct birthdate.)
Homeparish: Klara rote 2
Residence: Björnen N:o 2
County: Stockholms stad
Page: 51
Row: 47
Fam. nr 1
Carl August Norstedt, b. 1843 in Stockholm, Handelsbiträde
wife Augusta Amalia, b. 1847 in Nyköping Södermanlands län
Angelia Selma Fredrika, b. 1870 in Stockholm
Clara Hildur Viola, b. 1872 in Stockholm
Fam. nr 2
Maria Carolina Raderman, b. 1861 in Umeå Västerbottens län, Piga
The Klara CD (for the city of Stockholm) shows Ulrika Sofia Jansson (born Nilsdotter). She was born 7 March 1816 in Stigtomta. She was listed as a widow when she is first listed on this cd in 1881. She went to Jakobsroten in 1885, returned to Klara in 1891, and died 2 March 1902.
The Augusta Amalia found in Klara married to Carl August Nordstedt was listed with her family with these birthdates. Specific Stockholm parishes of birth were not listed for the father and first two daughters.
Carl August Nordstedt, born 7 October 1843 and died 5 December 1883
Augusta Amalia Nordstedt, born 18 August 1847 and died 1 April 1903
Selma Angelika Fredrika Nordstedt, born 25 January 1870 (One part of the Klara CD says she was born in Hedvig Eleonora parish in the city of Stockholm)
Clara Hildur Viola, born 25 May 1872 (One part of the Klara CD says she was born in Jakob parish in the city of Stockholm)
Anna Lisa Nordstedt, born 2 October 1879 in Klara (only listed once and then to bilagan, the supplement of the book, usually for the missing the death books. You will need to investigate.
The others aren't listed on the Klara CD.
Oskar Ludvig emigrated from Katarina parish so I'll try to find the others on the Söder CD.

He was an iron worker (järnarbetare).
According to Söder, Erik Jansson was born in Westerljung (Västerljung) in Södermanland län. He died 20 May 1881. I only see him listed with his wife, Ulrika Sofia Jansson.
Carl Gustaf Jansson is listed on the Söder CD. He came in from rote 5 (Tegn?rsroten)in 1878. He had a wife and family.
Carl Gustaf Jansson, born 8 August 1844 in Nyköpings Sankt Nikolai in Södermanland län
wife Johanna Maria Jansson, born 25 June 1845 in Kristianstads Heliga Trefaldighet in Kristianstads län
son Gustaf Erik Jansson, born 28 September 1874 in America (Providence)
son Johan Wilhelm Jansson, born 28 September 1874 in America (Providence)
son Carl Oskar Jansson, born 14 May 1878 in Stockholms Domkyrko, Stockholms stad
They all went out 28 May 1879 to America according to Söder. (Actually, the parents were listed as going out 25 May, but those are registrations dates, most likely, and not departure dates.)

The Söder CD says that she entered 7 November 1897 from Kalmar in Uppsala län and went out to America 11 June 1898. Her address was Hornsgatan 104,106; Bränkyrkan 93,95 (kv. Ufven Mindre 1). (I can't explain that address so hopefully the Swedes can.) Perhaps there was a misunderstanding about which Kalmar she came in from.

I see that the father was Anders Olsson and the children (or at least a couple of children) apparently used his patronymic instead of keeping up the old patronymic traditions. This was a time of transition and the old customs died sooner in cities, so I'm not surprised they didn't use Andersdotter.

Hopefully you will find some sort of birthdate for this man since I'm sure you know that a birth date of probably 1810-1840 is not detailed enough for such a common name.
It is not certain, of course, that someone who was a stone cutter in Norway was a stone cutter when he left Sweden.
I see this possibility on the Emibas CD, made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country. I would not feel comfortable saying he is yours on such a small amount of information but here is his information, just in case.

I don't understand why you would consider giving up. We all have difficult people to research but as time goes on, we sometimes find some more clues, and records are becoming easier to find all the time. It is certainly a lot easier for me to do Swedish genealogy now than it was when I started in 2000 and most likely research will continue to become easier and easier as time goes by and more records go online or onto cds. I keep my problem people in mind even if I'm not actively working on finding them, and work on easier lines too. Every once in a while I find a new clue which motivates me to work on difficult people again, but I don't obsess over them. Genealogy is supposed to be fun and not constant misery, which it might become if we only work on one difficult person.
Assuming that this man was the father to an illegitimate child, aren't there court records or some other sort of records to investigate, in case he was fined or something like that?

Kagarp is a place (with something to do with military) in Langaröd parish in Malmöhus län in the south of Sweden. This comes from the Rosenberg CD (only in Swedish) which was made from a book about Swedish place names written in the 1880s. Kagarp. Indr. militieboställe i Långaröds sn, Färs hd, Malmöhus län, på Linderödsåsen vid länsgränsen; 1 mtl. It is not near either the city (stad) or county (län) called Stockholm. Look at this county map of Sweden. (Actually, it shows both the historical counties and the modern counties, so there are two maps.) http://www.algonet.se/~hogman/swe_counties_map_eng.htm I checked both Bengta and Benedikta on a Swedish name site. http://www.historiska.se/ I learned that Bengta is a Swedish short form of the Latin name Benedikta which means blessed. The oldest use in Sweden was 1364. Judy

Do you know the name of the younger brother? (I suppose you do since you found him in two censuses.)It is hard to search for people with such common names when we have few clues. ;-) I see two men with the same last name emigrating from their parish on the same date. One is Carl, a name often Americanized to Charles. He was born in 1867 and not 1866, however, and they left in 1887, not 1886. This is a longshot since the cd I'm using is only 75% complete and nothing matches exactly. You will probably have to find more clues. The vast majority of the 1890 U.S. Census burned in a fire. Do you perhaps mean the 1900 U.S. Census? If so, that census provides a month and year of birth. Emibas: Emibas was made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country. Bondson = son of a farmer. Län = county. Post 372657 Mattisson, Carl Johan Bondson (unmarried man) b. 7/18/1867 in Asarum, Blekinge län (Blekinge) Emigrated 12/23/1887 from Långasjönäs 86, Asarum, Blekinge län (Blekinge) to Amerika Source: Household Examination Roll, p. 639 Emibas migration file ID: Asarum K 1887 040 Post 372659 Mattisson, August Bondson (unmarried man) b. 12/20/1869 in Asarum, Blekinge län (Blekinge) Emigrated 12/23/1887 from Långasjönäs 86, Asarum, Blekinge län (Blekinge) to Amerika Source: Household Examination Roll, p. 639 Emibas migration file ID: Asarum K 1887 039 I have no idea if these two are yours. I checked Emihamn, which was made from registrations with the Swedish port police before leaving Sweden. This appears to be the same people except now Carl is called Carolina,the son of a farmer is now called the daughter of a farmer, and the original two year difference in age has become a four year difference in age. It is obvious that there is an error somewhere and the parish records need to be checked.(I suppose it is also possible that these are two separate pairs of people and that the ones found on Emibas didn't use a Swedish port when they left. Swedes often used ports in Norway, Denmark, and Germany, for example.)

I believe that the befolkning was recorded in early 1901, based upon the information at the very end of 1900. (This was not a separate enumeration. The priest extracted information from the records he already had.

From what I understand, the feeder ships sailed from Sweden to Hull or Grimsby in England. Then the emigrants boarded a train to go to an English port such as Liverpool or Southampton and there they boarded a larger ship for the rest of their journey.

Karen, the births, marriages, and deaths are on microfilm that you can order from a Family History Center. Look in the online Family History Library Catalog or in the catalog at the Family History Center under the name of the län (county) and then select Civil Registrations and utdrag ur ministerialböcker and then Döda for deaths. That provides the film number to order.
When the film arrives, you need to go through all the parishes in the län until you find the person's birth.
This can be very time consuming if you don't know the year of death. I usually do searches such as these when I go to the Family History Library to avoid the long waits and expense of ordering numerous films.
I suppose it might be faster to contact the appropriate Regional Archive (Landsarkiv).

The Family History Library Catalog says: The church records for 1861-1890 are destroyed by fire. You should be able to use the SCB records for Östergötland (and then search for Malexander) to find the births, marriages, and deaths for that time period. I think they also sent extractions of the household examination records (husförhörslängd) to the same place starting in 1860. Those should still exist. Read about SCB records here. http://www.genline.com/databasen/SCB-materialet.php You can also order those SCB records on microfilm. http://tinyurl.com/234c6n http://tinyurl.com/5pbr5 Emihamn database (registrations with Swedish port police): First name: CARL FR Last name: FREIJ Age: 34 Gender: M Parish: MALEXANDER County: E Port: GÖTEBORG Date: 1888 04 27 Destination: NEW YORK Fellows: NEJ Source: 35:195:5432 same ticket: First name: GUSTAF A Last name: GUSTAFSON Age: 66 Gender: M Parish: MALEXANDER County: E Title/Note: SVÄRFADER (father in law) Port: GÖTEBORG Date: 1888 04 27 Destination: NEW YORK Fellows: NEJ Source: 35:195:5432 I don't see the others at that time.

Patronymic names have son/dotter (father's given name plus a possessive s plus son for male children and dotter for female children), so Nej and Bearden are not patronymic. Lars Christoffersson means Lars, Christoffers son (son of Christoffer). My previous message will help you learn how to research, once you have time to check it out. We use information such as given names (as used in Sweden, not after emigrating because they probably changed) and full birthdate and birthplace (parish) and work backwards in time. It takes a lot of time and we usually have to do the digging ourselves. The hardest part by far is to find the emigrant in Swedish parish records and after that, we just work backwards in time. You will find more naming articles on the SweGGate site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~swewgw/ You can find several interesting and very informative articles about those customs by using the Facts --> Names and Naming Practices on the SweGGate site. Judy Herbertsdotter (daughter of Herbert; this would be a patronymic name since it uses the given name of the father plus a possessive s plus dotter, since I'm female, but I never used Herbertsdotter, of course) Olson (an Americanized form of Olsson/Olofsson, meaning son of Olof, but the last Olof on my father's side of the family was my farfars far -- my father's father's father/my paternal great grandfather, Olof Olofsson/Olsson. That farfars far's father was Olof Pettersson and his father was Petter Andersson, and so on back in time and the father of Petter Andersson was Anders something.) Baouab (my married name)

Mary Beth, 1. The records were kept in the parish, so it is important to see those records. They can be seen for free in Sweden, of course, and can be seen on micofilm you can see for free at the large Mormon Family History Library in Salt Lake City.However, you will spend a lot of money going to those places and you have to pay for hotels and restaurant meals, so researching in those free places isn't really free. You can order microfilms of the Swedish parish records from any Family History Center. You need to pay approximately $5.50 per microfilm for a month's use at the Family History Center and of course you'd need to pay this for all of the many films you need. You have to go to the Family History Center to order and then you wait a few weeks for the films to arrive from Salt Lake City. Then you have to go back to the Family History Center to view the film or films. If you have problems reading those films, you have to pray that someone there has knowledge of Swedish parish records. If not, then you need to scan the copies you make and post them online somewhere so that you can ask others to look at the record and help you. You could join the fee-based Genline site. You have a variety of subscription plans to choose from, and there are frequent specials. Members of certain Swedish American groups or people who read particular genealogical magazines get huge discounts, and if you go to a genealogical conference where Genline has a table, you get the best discounts of all. Each page on Genline has its own unique page number, called a GID number (Genline Identification Number). You can make pages larger or smaller. You can even make the pages lighter or darker and you can't make that sort of adjustment on microfilm. If you have a problem reading a name or a location or a word on a particular page, you post the GID number and someone else with a Genline subscription can look at the record and help you out. Genline is the most convenient way to see the parish records. It is probably even less expensive than microfilm if you plan to see a lot of records. There are some locations in the U.S. which have Genline. http://www.genline.com/resources/libraries/usa/usa_a-z.php 2. The SweGGate website describes the Swedish parish records and gives advice on how to use them. Follow the Themes --> Church Records pathway on this site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~swewgw/ You can find a huge number of Swedish genealogical words on SweGGate. Go to its home page and click on Dictionaries & Encyclopedias. That leads you to one of the webmaster's glossary pages. The top of that glossary page provides links to more of his glossary pages plus links to glossary pages developed by others. You need information on the Swedish naming customs. You can find several interesting and very informative articles about those customs by using the Facts --> Names and Naming Practices on the SweGGate site. The entire SweGGate site is a goldmine of information, most of which is in English. 3. There is great information on the Swedish Roots website too. Don't forget to check out the information on the left side of that page. http://www.genealogi.se/roots/ 4. You can obtain a booklet with an overview of Swedish genealogy. The following url has a link to downloading the free booklet and also a link to ordering the booklet to be sent by mail. The booklet comes very quickly, so it is better than using up a lot of ink and paper copying the download. http://www.swedenabroad.com/Page____15063.aspx 5. It is best to purchase at least one guidebook. These are excellent. Your Swedish Roots is easier to start with and Cradled in Sweden is more detailed. I own both. http://tinyurl.com/l9p2c http://tinyurl.com/57exb 6. Knowing Swedish isn't necessary, although of course it helps. Most of us who weren't born in Sweden are not fluent in Swedish and probably most knew no Swedish at all when they started. Even so, most of us are able to get great amounts of information out of these records. If you have problems, just ask for help (using the GID numbers if you are talking about a specific record) on this board and the Swedes will try to help you. I find research in Swedish records much, much, much more easy than research in U.S. records. Swedish records are very complete and very detailed. It is fun to do that research but of course it takes time, so we usually have to do the searches ourselves. The Swedes on Anbytarforum are very generous, however, when we run into difficulties, so don't be afraid to ask for help. Judy

Divorce (Skilsmässa)
Divorces were very rare especially among the people living in the country until a century ago. Special care should be taken to prove a suspected divorce from the records. A divorce was an ecclesiastical matter until 1915 and was obtained through the diocese (stift), where the cathedral chapter or consistory (dom kapitlet)had the final say in divorce matters....
In the FHLC (Family History Library Catalog)the cathedral chapter (consistory)records are listed under SWEDEN, name of DIOCESE, CHURCH RECORDS, DOMKAPITLET.

This page shows the records scanned by Genline. Click on the län (county) to see which parishes are listed and then click on the parish to see what records are listed for that parish. http://www.genline.com/databasen/walk3.php Births, marriages, and deaths from 1860 to the middle 1890s are usually found under the SCB records for each county. Read about the SCB records here. http://www.genline.com/databasen/SCB-materialet.php Much more information is waiting to be found, so it is certainly a good idea to do research, either on Genline (most convenient way) or on microfilms you order from a Family History Center. I've been researching Swedish ancestors for seven years (That's not very long, but I'm not a beginner.) and I haven't yet finished researching in parish records. There are still plenty of records to be found in Genline. (I have interest in anyone connected to my ancestors, so I research siblings, parents, siblings of parents, descendants of siblings, etc. Perhaps you can finish more quickly if you only research direct lines but it is easier, especially in the less detailed early records, to know the family well so we can judge which person belongs to us. (Baptism witnesses are helpful in that, for example.) I have also used estate inventories (bouppteckningar), tax records (mantalslängder), local history books, etc. in my research, but Genline doesn't have those. I think you will find good use in a Genline subscription. It is unlikely someone will do all of your research for you on this board, although I suppose it is possible you will find someone who is connected and has a lot of it. However, I like to check all the information someone provides and I also get a big thrill out of seeing the actual record, in the original handwriting. Even if someone provides the information for you, it is unlikely they have the time/money to get all of those copies to you. Judy

Jason, The SweGGate website describes the Swedish parish records and gives advice on how to use them. Follow the Themes --> Church Records pathway on this site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~swewgw/ You can find a huge number of Swedish genealogical words on SweGGate. Go to its home page and click on Dictionaries & Encyclopedias. That leads you to one of the webmaster's glossary pages. The top of that glossary page provides links to more of his glossary pages plus links to glossary pages developed by others. You need information on the Swedish naming customs. You can find several interesting and very informative articles about those customs by using the Facts --> Names and Naming Practices on the SweGGate site. The entire SweGGate site is a goldmine of information, most of which is in English. There is great information on the Swedish Roots website too. Don't forget to check out the information on the left side of that page. http://www.genealogi.se/roots/ You can obtain a booklet with an overview of Swedish genealogy. The following url has a link to downloading the free booklet and also a link to ordering the booklet to be sent by mail. The booklet comes very quickly, so it is better than using up a lot of ink and paper copying the download. http://www.swedenabroad.com/Page____15063.aspx It is best to purchase at least one guidebook. These are excellent. Your Swedish Roots is easier to start with and Cradled in Sweden is more detailed. I own both. http://tinyurl.com/l9p2c http://tinyurl.com/57exb You seem concerned about doing Swedish research without knowing the language. Your concern is very, very common. Let me try to reassure you. Most of us are not fluent in Swedish and probably most knew no Swedish at all when they started. Even so, most of us are able to get great amounts of information out of these records. If you have problems, just ask for help (using the GID numbers if you are talking about a specific record) on this board and people will try to help you. I find research in Swedish records much, much, much more easy than research in U.S. records. Swedish records are very complete and very detailed. Judy

You mentioned Michigan. Did they live in Michigan? Is that where you found Hanna in 1900 and 1910?
There was a state census taken in Michigan in 1894, according to State Census Records by Ann S. Lainhart.

Did she arrive in the U.S. in 3 days after leaving Göteborg or did she leave England on the larger ship three days later? Otherwise, this sounds like an excellent match for you but it seems unlikely it would have only taken three days from Göteborg to the U.S.
Maybe the Emihamn departure date was misread, but that date fits reasonably well with the date she left her parish.(24 October)Perhaps the Emihamn date was in late October or early November and the scribbled date was misread by the transcriber for the cd.

When was he born? There is a Carl Martin Ney born 27 March 1863 on the Emibas CD, but he may not be yours. (This one was born in Canada, left from Borås in Älvsborg county in Sweden, and was headed towards Great Britain.) Seagreen was probably Sjögren in Sweden, which sounds like a surname to me.
I see a Karl Martin Fredrik Ney on the 1900 Swedish Census CD.

The Söder CD for the city of Stockholm says he was born in Germany (Rostock). His birthdate was listed as 22 March 1859 on that cd and his name was spelled Carl Martin Fredrich Ney there.
Both cds have him on a page for the missing, so he apparently left without notifying the parish.
Try to give an indication of when your person was born. It is hard to help without dates.

Heidi,
He was only listed as John Oberg on the registration form, but his birthdate matches the Johan Henning Johansson on Emibas. (I took the birthdate from the registration form in Kanabec County and then checked for anyone who might fit on the Emibas database.)
The name on Emibas is probably his full Swedish name (without his surname, which was apparently adopted later. Remember I am guessing the man on Emibas might be the right man.) but you would need to check the Swedish parish records and U.S. records to be sure the man leaving Sweden and the man found in Kanabec County is the same man.
I will try to send you a link to the World War I Draft Registration on Ancestry.com. There is a share feature.
The registration record was stamped Local Board for the County of Kanabec, State of Minnesota, Mora, Minnesota. His address was Quamba, Kanabec, Minnesota.
I would assume the cause of death was listed on the death certificate. I would also assume that a suicide would require a coroner's report, so that would be an additional record to check into for John. I have no familarity with records in Minnesota.
There may be newspaper articles about the suicide but don't be surprised if the suicide was hushed up.

Did he ever live in a place called Quamba in Kanabec county in Minnesota? A man named John Oberg with a wife Hilda lived there on 12 September 1918. His birthdate was 5 March 1886, according to the World War I Draft Registrations on the Ancestry.com site. He was a produce merchant, had blue eyes and brown hair, etc. I suppose his last name was spelled Åberg or perhaps Öberg in Sweden, but there is little to distinguish your John (perhaps Johan or Johannes or Jan or Jon or Jöns etc. in Sweden, and he may well have used other given names in addition to John). When did yours emigrate? There is a column for a year of immigration on the U.S. Federal Censuses for 1900-1910-1920-1930. Check all of those censuses. I know you said 1903 but maybe it was a year or so earlier or later than that. He most likely was naturalized after the time period (late 1906) when the naturalization forms were standardized across the country. If so, his birthplace, birthdate, port of departure, name of ship, port of entry, date of entry, etc. would be listed. If he had been married to Hilda when he naturalized, the same sort of information was probably listed for her. The NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) regional archive in Chicago has at least some naturalization records for Minnesota, but they are not online. http://www.archives.gov/great-lakes/chicago/finding-aids/naturalization-records.html Ship manifests became much more helpful in that time period, so obtain his (perhaps online but often just on microfilm) to see if he had good information on his. Many of our Swedes emigrated with a patronymic (son/dotter) name and only later changed to a surname. Here is a maybe for John from the Emibas CD, made from registrations in the Swedish parish before going to a foreign country. Emibas is only about 75% complete, and probably even less complete for records as late as 1903. Post 159544 Johansson, Johan Henning Dräng (unmarried man) b. 3/5/1886 in Fröderyd, Jönköpings län (Småland) Emigrated 3/11/1903 from Flathult, Fröderyd, Jönköpings län (Småland) to Nordamerika Source: Household Examination Roll, p. 52 Emibas migration file ID: Fröderyd F 1903 014 (Dräng = farmhand.) There is not enough information yet to definitively say if that man is yours or not. If you have ordered his Social Security application, you would know his birthdate, perhaps his birthplace and probably his parents, including his mother's maiden name. I don't see him on the Social Security Death Index (which mostly has names from the mid to late 1960s and later) but if you can find his Social Security number on a death certificate, you can order the application. (It costs $27.) It may be best to use the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. They have fantastic records but those records are not online. http://www.augustana.edu/swenson/ Judy

Did you mean to say that Påhl died in 1777? Otherwise, he would have been almost 122 when he died. (or was he born in 1855?)

This is the website for the newspaper in which the obituary of Frances Finholm was placed. Perhaps you could write to the newspaper and tell them you are trying to get in touch with relatives. Maybe they would publish your story or letter and that might also be a way to get the attention of the descendants of Frances. http://www.gateline.com/ This may very well work since you are Swedish and it would make a human interest story which newspapers often love to print. It is worth a try. Judy

I found that article and pictures (actually an old picture and a newer one) after you mentioned it. I think others might be interested. I really enjoyed her memories of the old days, and we get a real feeling of the kind of person she was. (Others who want to read this article will need to scroll down the page to find it.) http://www.penlight.org/pdfs/newsletters/03_lights_OctNov.pdf Frances was beautiful, even in her later years. I agree that 'Larson' Larson must have died very young, before he was named. I think this is a good possibility for your family, but to be sure, order the Social Security application mentioned earlier. That will provide the names of her parents. The Finholm family seems quite important in their area, so it should not be hard to find them if they stayed in Gig Harbor. I agree that the internet is amazing. Judy

This is an interesting obituary, which mentions Kitsap (but says she was born in Waterman, Washington) and she had immigrant Swedish parents. The birthdate of this Frances matches but her birthplace does not. I found this on Ancestry.com . Perhaps she is yours but if she left Washington State, then there are lots of other Frances hits with the same birthdate. There is no mention of a brother in this obituary. ---------------------------------------------- Name of Deceased: Frances A.

She was born of immigrant Swedish parents on Aug. 31, 1913, at Waterman, Wash., and graduated from South Kitsap High School. Married Sept. 1, 1934, to the late John Finholm, one of the founding fathers of Gig Harbor and original owner of Finholm?s Market and Grocery. She was active in many community and education organizations and owned a dress shop in the early 1940s along with helping her husband operate their North Gig Harbor business organizations. Frances was an active member over the years at the Peninsula Lutheran Church and had many friends who knew her as a loving and caring person. Following retirement Frances and John enjoyed time with family, gardening and winters in Arizona. She is survived by her son Ronald J. Finholm and wife Sharon; daughter Teddi D. Hester and husband Monte E. Hester; seven grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. A funeral service was held Friday, May 20 at Haven of Rest Memorial Park where she is interred. Remembrances can be made to the American Heart Association or Victory Lutheran Church, PO Box 25270, Yuma, AZ. 85367, or any charity of choice. She is on the Social Security Death Index.

Hello Judy, I have only just now come across your response on the anbytarforum back in dec 2003. I want to thank you for that information. I have since found much more information, but would appreciate if you could find out about August's military record and who and how the family name was changed from jonsson to friberg.

No, you don't need to learn the language, although it helps. The records didn't use that many words. I know a lot of words (perhaps a few hundred but I didn't know that many when I started Swedish genealogy) but I'm not fluent. You need guidebooks and there are places online which tell about the records. Look at a post I wrote a few days ago on the Rootsweb board. Move down a bit to Research in Swedish Parish Records. http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.sweden.general/25875.3.1.2.1/mb.ashx Judy

She is not listed as being connected to that family. She probably isn't but you will find out for sure as you research in the parish records. The parish records can be seen, for example, on the fee-based Genline site. http://www.genline.com People who could not support themselves needed to live somewhere. Look at this definition from the SweGGate site. http://www.genline.com There are MANY Swedish genealogical words defined on this site. Go to Dictionaries and Encyclopedias on the home page. This particular word is on the page reached when clicking that link. Others can be found by clicking links at the top of the page reached by clicking that link on the home page. inhyse(s)hjon O A (poor) person living in someone else's house. without paying rent. Sometimes ordered by the local community council (sockenstämma) to care for poor people. cf. inhyses, fattighjon and rotehjon Judy

Are there more than one set of HFL records for that parish? For example, Frändefors parish (P) lists the parishes on the east side of the parish separately from the parishes on the west side of the parish and sometimes those records are on totally different microfilms or one set of records follows the other set on the same film. There are two separate sets of indexes for each side of the parish. If you still can't find the village, then post on the Nyed board.

It was still in Nyed in the 1880s, according to the Rosenberg CD. Rosenberg was made from a book about Swedish place names written in the 1880s by a man named Rosenberg.
Note the spelling of this village, however.

I've seen a few of these records and yes, there are names telling who paid for things.
There are four pages (pages 117-120) about these records in the 2002 edition of Cradled in Sweden. Most of those pages are scans of an example of such a record plus a transcription and a word list. This comes before that.
---------------------------------------------
Parish Accounts (Kyrkoräkenskapsbok)
When available, the parish accounts usually go back to the 1600s. They may contain detailed accounts of those who paid for the opening of a grave indicating a death, or who paid the bride's money or gave a special donation at a christening. The donors were usually very close relatives and thus these accounts may supplement some missing parish registers....
------------------------------------------------
I remember finding some useful information besides accounts in one of these books. I don't remember offhand which parish. There were baptism dates for some children, which was great to know because those birth/baptism books were missing for those years.

Karen,
Even without knowing a word of Swedish, you should be able to figure out that site I mentioned. The parish name comes in front of the word församling. Each rote is numbered and the name of the rote is the first word and roten ends that word.
Obtain a dictionary and the rest of the information for each rote is easy to figure out, but you really only need what I've written in the first paragraph to know the parish in which each rote is located.
I think that site is fantastic. I wish I had noticed it before.

I hope Sam finds a map for us but look what I found online when I put Stockholms roteindelning into www.google.com. It is only in Swedish but it relates the rote to a parish within the city of Stockholm. http://www.nog.nu/roteman.html Rote 21 Vanadisroten var en utbrytning ur rote 8 och omfattade norra delen av det område som från 1906-05-01 ingick i Johannes församling. Roten bildad 1893-01-01. Maybe more searches using that search term will help. Judy

Karen, This is a very useful site (but perhaps only in Swedish). http://tinyurl.com/ozlya Move down to Stockholm and then to the various parishes. You will see this. Nikolai, se (= see) Storkyrkoförsamlingen (the Storkyrko parish) When you look for Storkyrkoföramlingen, you find this. Storkyrkoförsamlingen, se (see) Stockholms domkyrkoförsamling This appears to be the modern name of the above parish names. Stockholms domkyrkoförsamling I found a post on the Genforum board explaining name changes for that parish. This was provided by a man named Johan.

I found your Karolina Stefansson Larsdotter on the Klara CD for Stockholms Stad (city). The Klara CD doesn't copy/paste, so this is just partial information.
She was a maid (piga) at this address (and again, remember I can't explain addresses in Stockholms stad.)
Klara Vattugränd 4; Klarabergsgatan 43; Vasagatan 22 (kv. Kajan 4)
She had moved in from rote 7 (Jakobsroten)29 December 1894. She went out 8 January 1896 to rote 21 (Vanadisroten). I have no idea what parish that is in.

Walter, There will be court records, most likely, so be glad ;-) that they were accused of a crime. The court records would have been kept in the härad (judicial district). Gideå parish is listed as being in Arnäs härad, according to Cradled in Sweden. Perhaps they have been microfilmed. Look under the name of the härad to see if there are films you can order from a Family History Center. If not, the records should be available if you contact the Landsarkiv (Regional Archive). http://www.ra.se/hla/english.htm Judy

You said that Karolina was in Kärne, Värmland. Kärne is listed on the Rosenberg CD as a by (village) in Östra Fågelvik parish. Rosenberg was made from a book about Swedish place names written in the 1880s. Spellings are, of course, those used at that time period. It also appears that the parish was called Fogelvik (Fågelvik) and not Östra Fågelvik at that time.
Kärne i Vermlands län, Väse hd, Fogelviks sn. By vid Venern.
Everything matches Bo's information very well and also matches your information very well, so I am quite sure Bo is correct that the person he found is your Karolina Stefansdotter.

Karen,
I think that the Gamla Stan area (Old Town) of Stockholm is in S:t Nicolai parish, which is also called Storkyrko parish. If she lived in Storkyrko parish in 1890, she also lived in S:t Nicolai parish. I believe those are two names for the same parish.
From the Gamla Stan CD, which is only in Swedish:
(This person matches the one in your notes **and** the one Bo suggested. She has the correct birthdate and birthplace. She came in from Uppsala domkyrkoförs and lived on Lilla Nygatan 16; Mälaretorget 15; Tyska Brinken 36 (kv. Midas 2) Note the part about Midas 2 which was mentioned by Bo. She went out to Jakob och Johannes parish. She fits VERY well.)

Where did you see this location (Andvart) written? Was it written in a Swedish source or did you find it written in an American source or ? I can't find any location similar to that in various sources, such as a Swedish road atlas. I did a google search and found the word Andvart in another one of your messages. None of the Swedes seemed to say where Andvart comes from, so perhaps it is just an attempt by an American in your family to spell something else. http://aforum.genealogi.se/discus/messages/2450/66785.html?1108172806 Is this person from that thread the person you are wondering about from Andvart?

The spelling would be Stenström. (The letters o and ö are not equivalent.)
I don't see them on the Emihamn database so they probably didn't emigrate through a Swedish port. Many from Värmland left through a Norwegian port.

Many of us go to Salt Lake City's Family History Library to see the wonderful parish history books which are never lent to Family History Centers.
I have seen those Norwegian books and I haven't seen too many like those in Sweden. The Swedish books I have seen usually don't go too deeply into the genealogies of those living in the farms and villages, but there are often pages about the history, etc. of those smaller locations in the village. (in Swedish, of course). I have sometimes found photos of relatives in those books. I was thrilled in one book to find a few paragraphs about my farfars far (father's father's father) and many paragraphs about an ancestor of my mormors mor. I don't remember, offhand, what the connection was, but he was a direct ancestor and the stories told about Stärke Erik (Strong Erik) were very interesting. (True? I have no idea. Interesting? Absolutely.)
On the other hand, some similar Swedish books do exist and I found two wonderful books with those family trees plus photos (The photos in those two books were not for my family, alas, but some of the family trees were for distant ancestors.) in Salt Lake City last year. I used those books to guide me when I was looking for microfilms. They were amazingly helpful, but I think the Norwegians did that more often.
Much more may be available in Sweden. The Family History Library has a lot of books but they certainly don't have all of them.

The Swenson Center does research in its records, for a fee. They are very busy so expect to wait a few months after you ask them to research. I've also used local historical and genealogical societies. I have found some really helpful information in those places. I have suggested my favorite things to do. Remember that there may be further clues in the state censuses for Minnesota.(not the same as federal censuses taken in years ending in 0. State census years usually end in 5.) Perhaps you could start, then, with the year 1875 and try to find them in that state census. When I get stuck, I ask others in my genealogical society and sometimes that helps. It is really important to join and participate in genealogical societies. I am an officer and board member in one but I am also a member of several others (including some in other locations where ancestors lived). We can learn new techniques from monthly speakers, various workshops, conferences (such as the one for the National Genealogical Society; state and local conferences, etc.) I have been frustrated by the lack of help from family members. I spent a couple of years trying to figure out where my farmor (father's mother) was born in Sweden, which was Hedvig Eleonora parish in Stockholms stad. (I had a street address, without a town, in her dictionary.) I found out, finally, and told a cousin who then pulled out an obituary which named Stockholm as her place of birth. Previously, cousins said they had nothing telling us where she was born. Push, pester, and beg cousins and other relatives to go through their attics, basements, drawers, etc. in search of any clue, large or small. (I have many examples of the same thing with other relatives.) There are lots of ideas of ways to find clues to the origins of our Swedish ancestors in a little booklet which you can order for free or download for free. I think I've told you about it but just in case, here is the link. http://www.swedenabroad.com/Page____15063.aspx There are many useful guidebooks to genealogy (not Swedish genealogy) which have given me ideas of places to search for clues, and without those ideas, I wouldn't be as far along in my genealogy as I am now. Even if you are not a beginner, it pays off to look at those books, and there are plenty of more advanced books which are helpful. Sources I'm exploring right now in U.S. records are land records and probate records. I have had excellent luck finding clues to parents or clues to where the person came from in Sweden using marriage APPLICATIONS. (Some are microfilmed.) I had a relative (my mom's cousin) who attended college and graduated in 1915. I wrote to the college asking if they knew who her parents were, what her last name was before marriage (I had her married name), etc. and they first told me that they had little on alumni of that era. Then they replied with the names of her parents, her maiden name, her complete birthdate, her major in college, her high school, etc. They even had an extra yearbook for her graduation year and sent that to me for free. I had been told by a friend that this wouldn't help but obviously she was wrong. It was a gamble which paid off. Be creative and try the less well known sources. Check into lodge records. I had no idea where my Danish grandfather (morfar) was born. I found in his obituary that he was a member of Danish Brotherhood in America. Those records showed exactly where he was born in Denmark, plus I learned much more about him from the same records. Good luck! Judy

The only listing for this man on Emibas is in 1870. (By the way, consistency of the immigration year in the U.S. Census is not **proof** that year is correct. My farfar always had 1890 listed as his year of emigration from Sweden on censuses, but there are several Swedish records and even some U.S. records stating he left in 1891.)

Have you checked yet with the Emigrantregistret in Karlstad? You've received contact information.
I don't see him on Emihamn (part of the Emigrant CD). Many from Värmland left through a port in Norway.
Of course, a child would usually only be listed by given name and not by last name and so it would be an overwhelming job to check every little boy Nils emigrating in 1878 from all of Sweden, since you can't be sure he stayed in Gunnarskog and left from there. (You seem to be rejecting the person with his birthdate found on Emibas.)
I keep mentioning the Swenson Center. To be sure you have the right person, you need to check out their wonderful records. Yes, it is a bit of trouble because they aren't online but those records are excellent proof if your relative is listed in them.

Those certificate links were from the SweGGate website, which has tons of useful information, mostly in English. http://www.rootsweb.com/~swewgw/ The certificates were turned into the parish when the people moved within Sweden. Some have been microfilmed. Some churches in the U.S. kept them. My genealogical society has some for a Lutheran Church in Chicago. Others were used, probably, for the membership information found in the church records and then given back to the person. Read more about this using this url. http://www.genealogi.se/roots/exit.htm The author of that article recently died. You can see his photo and read about him on this site. http://www.genealogi.se/roots/ There should be a notation of moves on the HFL and on the inflyttning/utflyttning (moving in/moving out) records, but if someone just left without properly notifying the parish, there won't be a notation. Eventually those people were moved to a different page in the parish for those who left without permission. Look on this page from SweGGate. Move down to Obefintliga. http://www.rootsweb.com/~swewgw/Church/thKyrGuiHFL02.htm Judy

I don't know about that word attestation, since it is probably a translation of a Swedish word I haven't seen. However, attest is a Swedish word for certificate, and those certificates were often issued so that someone could work outside the parish while they were still registered in the parish. (My understanding of this is limited.)
I don't see him on the Emihamn database, which probably means he didn't leave through a Swedish port. People in Värmland often left through a port in Norway.

Perhaps the website has the incorrect address, but I have no idea. Ask on the Gunnarskog section of this board.
If you copy/pasted the contact information which I also copy/pasted, it should be correct. (Perhaps there was a temporary glitch. Try sending it again before you worry too much. I've had mails bounce back (not to this address, of course) and I just send them again and they go through.)
I think the older records (from the time period when your ancestors lived there) have already been sent to the landsarkiv, so probably the parish only can provide local information, plus of course your relatives could perhaps make an appointment to see the interior of the church, if (perhaps) it is closed during weekdays.

I thought that Swedish dvds didn't work in the U.S. since each country uses a different format. (I suppose the dvds could be converted for a fee, if there is a shop willing to do the conversion, just as with videotapes.)

Candace,
You need to look for ships sailing from England, most likely. The usual procedure in later years (and probably in 1867) was to sail on a feeder ship to Hull or Grimsby in England, and then take a train to a port such as Liverpool or Southampton. There they boarded a larger ship for the rest of their trip.
I don't know the procedure if he left from a port in another country, such as Norway.
Göteborg may have been the port from which the person left but arrival records probably won't say that. (Arrival records tell us very little at that time period. They will say the person came from Sweden and was going to the U.S. or America, etc. We already know that.)

Candace,
Those port records started about 1869, so he left too early for the information you want.

The birth record of Karolina Jansdotter can be seen at GID # 300.67.10800 and of course the last name of the mother Greta Lovisa was Ersdotter (daughter of Erik), not Ersson (son of Erik.) She was baptised 5 July. More is listed, including the residence of the parents within that parish and witnesses to the baptism. Karolina was the 83rd birth in that parish that year.

Hans Ingelstorp is the smaller place within the parish(farm or village) where they were living.
The Family Search site is far from being a complete listing of all Swedes who lived so you may not have found all the people with that name who were born that year in that parish. Research in the Swedish parish records (working backwards in time from the known to the unknown) should solve the problem for you.

You must check the parish records (of course) but there is a Per Erik Fernqvist with a different wife (or perhaps there is an error with the wife's last name. I have OFTEN found that wedding applications and death certificates, etc.,asked the names of the parents and last names were incorrect.)Maybe this is your family. You need to prove or disprove it in the parish records. However, it is hopeful that they lived in the same part of the parish from which your relative emigrated and it adds to the hope since some of the children were born in Ramsberg.

Hi Britt-Marie,
Yes, that location of Loby is a good sign. Hopefully Carla will find a birth location for her Oscar in records from the Swenson Center or elsewhere.
As for the change of name, I have a theory which is just a hunch:
Axel may have been too Swedish a name for a boy wanting to fit in with his new American friends. (He was a teenager and teenagers like to fit in and probably they liked to fit in back in 1869 also.)Perhaps he thought Oscar (used in both the U.S. and Sweden at that time) seemed more American, or perhaps Americans, hearing Axel, thought they heard Oscar and he just used the name to avoid the trouble of telling others how to say Axel.
It is also possible that the name Axel became corrupted (in the memories of the family)into Oscar over time.
I tend to think this might be the right family but I would not personally be satisfied until I found some more evidence. Early U.S. Censuses (1870, 1880)should be checked (for example) to see if he used Axel first and then went to Oscar, but there are plenty of other good sources such as obituaries in Swedish American newspapers, church records, etc. (and the Swenson Center should have those).
Thanks for the additional hunting for Carla.

This is a very, very, very big long shot but perhaps Oscar Americanized his name from Axel. This family fits quite well, except that the mother had a patronymic name and not the last name you mentioned. I almost didn't mention it, but then I thought it can't hurt. This is a guess.

Anita,
Ingela said he arrived in New York City because that is the port city where the big ocean liner stopped. (Ellis Island was the receiving station/passenger processing center in the City of New York at that time.)
She also said he was going to Oifield, Wis which I take to be a misspelling of oilfield, Wis(consin). That last part is what you saw when you saw ...field, Wis.

I suppose you will have to research each one until you find the birth, but it narrows the search considerably to know that city. :-) There are a lot of parishes in Kristianstads kommun (municipality/township) but perhaps only some were there in 1815. http://tinyurl.com/2f8vfh (Or work backwards in the records from 1870 and note where he came from (in the in/out records) and keep going earlier and earlier in time until finally there is a useful record with that place name.)

Skåne is too large, so you need to find a parish name. Follow him backwards from this time period to see if you can find a better birth place than Skåne. (At that time period, Skåne was a province.) On the other hand, you are a VERY lucky person, since the comment lists a more specific location and län (county) in Skåne.You should be able to find his birth, and therefore parents, in his birth record. 1880 Swedish Census: http://www.svar.ra.se (subscription) Homeparish: Nederkalix Residence: Töre County: Norrbotten Page: 170 Row: 28 Fam. nr 1 Magnus Högman, b. 1815 in Skåne, Inhyses (tenant)(Note: Födförs: Kristianstad Kristianstads enl. folk1870 = Birth parish: Kristianstad, Kristianstads (the city of Kristianstad but you still need to find a birth parish in that city)according to the 1870 census.) wife Sara Maria Bergström, b. 1823 in Råneå Norrbottens län s.

Hi again, Mike,
If you have that port information (Göteborg) from a lookup on the Emihamn database of CD Emigranten, send that information (including the source information, which is a series of numbers) to this email address. You will receive the name of the feeder ship plus the name of the travel agent. The travel agents tended to use particular shipping lines and that limits the number of ships you need to check sailing from England.
