Family of Joseph Petersson and Marta Svensdotter

[Carol Kemp]

I am trying to trace the family of Joseph Petersson, 16 Mar 1830, born in Jonkoping, and his wife Marta Svensdotter, 25 Jan 1826, Bondstorp, Jonkoping.  I have found household records for the family in Bondstorp, 1856-1860, [/size]sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0019876_00088 and in Bondstorp, 1861-1870, [/color][/size]sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0019877_00085; however, I cannot find the family after that until I see a record that shows Marta (Mathilda) is a widow in the Bondstad household record of 1881-1889.  She later immigrated to the U,S.  I am looking for some record that would tell me the date of death of her husband, Joseph Petersson.  I have a birth record for [/color][/size]Emma Christina, 2 Jun 1866, in Jonkoping Sofia; and I have searched those records for that date but could find no household record.  Any help is appreciated.

What you have there is the SCB extract of Emma Christinas birth record. If you take a look at the original record^[1], you'll get an adress for the family: N^o 48, Förstaden^[2]. It's a bit hard to see in the bindning of the book, but the witnesses are from the same place.

Emma Christinas father dies of cholera when she's 3 months old -- 1866-09-03^[3].

Thanks again, Staffan.  I saw the address but did not know how to find it in the household records.  Also, the reference numbers in riksarkivet do not match the ones you have.  For example, the death record for Joseph Petersson shows Bild 47/Sida 79.  Is your source different?  Thanks for your help.  Carol

I'm using Arkiv Digital.  I think I've written about the different picture and page numbers before, it's a hobby horse of mine -- (... doing a spot of Google'ing ...) -- yes, here ...

Staffan:


Sorry about that.  Should have remembered that, but my memory is not as sharp as when I was younger.  I do appreciate all of your help.  Carol
