Location help for Swedish family farm

[Mans Nilsson]

This site has been of great help.  I’m traveling to Sweden in September to see family historical sites.  I have been successful in identifying all but one location and I’m hoping someone can help me out.

I’m looking for any information, location, on Fagerback Farm, Kristdala, Kalmar, Sweden.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!


Thanks,
Sandra Palmquist

You can find Fagerbäck (No. 132, a croft under Fallebo) on the enclosure map from 1783 (see top right corner on p. 2):

On p. 5 it's described as covering (roughly) 2 acres of arable field, 10 acres of meadows and 30 acres of grazing land.

Thank you KG for the map and translation.  It has now became part of our travel package.  We are excited to visit Sweden in September and have found the Swedish people to be so kind and helpful.  Thanks again!!

Sandra,


Have you contacted the Kristdala Hembygdsförening, Kristdala Heritage association?
They are a great source for information.
