General questions / SV: Why such a big name in the book?

« skrivet: 2021-12-14, 22:46 »

Jörgen and Maud, thank you for the replies!  This is really helpful information.  Now I need to trace Erik Salbom back to Stockholm to see if I can find his parents.

Do you think Salbom is a solider's name Erik may have chosen, or is it more likely an inherited surname?  It doesn't seem very common.

ArkivDigital: Västerås Lundby (U) AI:2 (1697-1775) Image: 1990 Page: 67

Any idea why this entry was written so big in the book? 

I also can't decipher the entry, besides the title Cornet and surname von Post.  Any help reading it would be appreciated!  Further down the page is an entry for my ancestor Corporalen Herr Eric Julius Salborn who was listed as being in the service of von Post. I'm trying to track them and not having any luck.

Thank you Kalle! Knowing she also worked for von Post is very helpful.

Do you think the father's name Salborn is his given name or perhaps a soldier's name or something he chose for himself?

I'm having difficulty reading and understanding some parts of my ancestor's birth record. Christina Olofsdotter's oäkta son Erik whose father is Erik Salbom (or Salborn?). I can't determine the word before Christina's name (Lvinsperson?) and what I think is a description of his father's location.

I've marked some areas I can't interpret and would greatly appreciate assistance. Tack!

General questions / SV: Trying to find a website of maps

Thanks for the suggestion. The closest I've found on Riksarkivet is:

https://toramaptest.riksarkivet.se/

But it's not quite the same. I wish I had bookmarked the site but I thought I would easily find it again.

General questions / Trying to find a website of maps

« skrivet: 2021-12-11, 16:21 »

I came across a website of historic Swedish maps that I'm unable to find again. This site had an interactive map with historic maps in layers.

The website I'm looking for is not lantmateriet. The content is the same, but the interface is different.

Does anyone know the site I'm trying to find again?  Thank you,

-- Tom
