Johan Fredrik Östergren born 1799

[Georgina Smith]

He with wife and two  sons moved out of Säby, Jönköping 9 May 1856. I am hoping someone will have idea which parish to look in.


Thanks in advance for help!

I find no trace of any in that family after 1856, could it be an emigration from Göteborg?

Thanks for your reply Leif! I guess you do not have access to Emigration records.

It seems their eldest son Carl Ludvig emigrates in 1852:

Säby (F) BI:1 (1816-1859) Bild 1270 (AID: v36235a.b1270, NAD: SE/VALA/00361)

So emigration is definitely a possibility. This could perhaps be Carl Ludwig:

Yes, it does seem like they emigrate! They also had a daughter named Johanna Sophia, see for example:

If I'm not mistaken, she marries a man by the name of Gustav Adolf Johansson and not long after she pass away (10th of October 1857).
In the estate inventory made after her death, it reads: "[...] dock utan några bröstarfvingar, men har efterlefvande
Föräldrar som äro wistandes i Nord America [...]" So she left no heirs (except her husband, since their only child dies just a few days before Johanna Sofia), but i states that her parents are living in North America.

It needs to be confirmed that this is the correct girl (her birth place seem to have been changed when moving out and back into the parish) but this seems like the correct people.

Thanks so much for all your information Anders! I did follow the daughter easily.
