Gustaf Andersson

[Greg Rosenvall]

I am trying to find any records about Gustaf Andersson (birthdate 1857-10-07) after he is indicated in the attached household record.  This record seems to note that he moved to Garpenberg, but I cannot find any records after the attached household record.  Thank you, Greg

Here he is at Olshyttan in Garpenberg before he left for North America in May 1880:

Maud:

For my education, how did you go about finding this record of Gustaf Andersson at Olshyttan in Garpenberg?

Thank you,
Greg

Since you seem to use ArkivDigital, it's quite easy in this case. You have the name, birth  date and birth parish: Gustaf Andersson, 1857-10-07, Hedemora.

In ArkivDigital, choose "Index Search" and index option "BiS (Population of Sweden) 1800-1947". Enter the data and you'll get three entries for Gustaf, among them the one from Garpenberg.

This result is also a reminder that the index does not have a 100 percent coverage - no entries for Gustaf and his family during their earlier years in Hedemora. So one often still has to trace persons via moving out registers and so on.
