Olsson family in Kyrkhult, Blekinge

[Rick Jenkins]

I apologize if this post is in the wrong location.  I'm having some trouble figuring out just how to properly post topics.

Does anybody have any information on the family of Ola Olsson (1858-    ) and his wife Kristina Svensdotter?  I'd like to know who their parents were.

Thank you so much for your time.

Hi Rick,
If “your” Ola Olsson is identical to a boy named Ola born May 21, 1858 at Kopparemåla, Jämshög
(Jämshög (K) CI:7 (1849-1867) Bild 141 / sid 275), his parents were Ola Bengtsson Tille and Johanna Nilsdotter.
You will find more information about this family here:

Happy hunting!

Yes, that is his Ola.  But "Familj 2" must be false.

I write these pages down if there is anyone related in Sweden.

Thank you Anita, this is very helpful and appreciated. 

One thing I have noticed while researching my Swedish ancestors is the different last names.  For example, in the information you shared, you state that Ola Olsson's father was Ola Bengtsson Tille.  I'm curious, why is Ola Olsson not called Ola Bengtsson Tille?

How are both you and Marianne related to Ola?

Thank you Marianne for your help as well.

The photo in my last reply is Karl Olsson, or Carl Olson, as he was known here in the US.  His wife is Marjorie.  Karl served the US in WW1 with the Coast Guard.  He passed away in 1967.

Thank you both again for your help.

Rick, I´m not related neither. I have access to the Church books, so it was easy to find them.   /Marianne
