Lars!
 
Jag ser att jag skrev fel födelseårtal. Han födds 1753-04-23 i Härnum Västra Ed. Därifrån kommer namnet. Fadern hette inte Härnström utan Olof Svensson, modern hette Ingeborg Eriksdotter.
Du hittar Hans med föräldrar och syskon i Västra Ed AI:3 sid 147, 214, 224, 278.

Jag söker all tillgängling info om Per Mattsson, far till Lars Persson. Per Mattsson dog i Trostad, Lofta 1695. Jag och en släkting härstammar i rakt nerstigande led. Bl.a. är vi nyfikna på om det finns någon grav eller gravsten kvar efter honom. Men all info mottages tacksamt. Mvh Mats

I Husförhörslängd för Lofta AI:20 Bild 75 sid 64 står längst ner Till hus Pigan Sara Lena Sjögren född 1835-02-14 och hennes oäkta barn dotter Maria född 1857-05-31. De är inte överstrukna, vilket ju brukar innebära flytt. Men längst till höger i marginalen står 1858 Hägg. Nu är de båda för mig spårlöst försvunna. Jag kan inte hitta dem i något Hägg och inte i Sveriges befolkning 1880 eller någonstans. Hjälp vart tog de vägen?
Mycket tacksam för hjälp
Anna

Det finns både Hägg och Häggs kvarn i Lofta.
OBS att husförhören för 1855-1860 är delat på två volymer.

Hej!
 
I am seeking information on the following family:  father, Anders Åhlin; mother, Christina Louisa Holmgren.  They were married in Västra Ed, 31 Dec. 1843, and had a son, Karl Vilhelm, born at Vinäs, Västra Ed, 3 May 1844.  Another son, Anders Alfrid, was born in Lofta, 27 Oct 1848.  They were living in Böda on Öland when their third child was born in 1855.
 
Can anyone tell me when they arrived in Lofta, when they moved from there, and whether they went directly to Öland.  Or perhaps to another location?  What was the fathers work during their stay in Lofta?
 
Any other information welcome as well.
 
Tack på förhand!

Corinne,
The family arrived in Lofta (Överum) in 1845 (Lofta AI/17 p 270).
Moved to Dalhem (Ulfsdal) in 1849 (Dalhem AI/14 p 68).
Came to Böda, Öland in 1850.
Anders was working as a forest ranger at all these farms.

Hi Corinne !
 
Anders Ålin was born in Norrbyås parrish Oct 8 1816. Norrbyås is located some 100 miles soutwest from Stockholm wich means Anders has moved quite a distance Before he married. Lofta, Västra Ed and Åtvid is located not that far from the east coastside southwards from Stockholm. I found Anders and his family in a village called Överum in Lofta parrish in 1848. He worked there as a forrest guard. ( Maybe not the right word.) They had moved there from Åtvid parrish in 1845.  
 
In 1849 they move to Ulvsdal mansion in Dalhem parrish. Still working as a forrest guard. Finally according to the census they leave for Öland in 1850.  
 
Anders wifes name is Christina Lovisa Holmgren, born in Ukna parrish Oct 26 1817.
 
If you have many relatives in Sweden maybe www.arkivdigital.se could be a handy tool, There is an English version.
 
I guess you are well familliar with how the church records are organized so you will find Anders and his family here:
 
Anders in Överum: Lofta AI:17 page 270 ArkivDigital AID:v23160.b282.s270
 
Anders moving in to Dalhem parrish Dec 2 1849 (Moving in = Inflyttade ): Dalhem BI:1 AID:v37146.b33.s57
 
Anders in Ulvsdal 1849-1850: Dalhem AI:14 page 68. AID:v21866.b79.s68 Note the entry of Anders moving to Öland in 1850.

Corinne!
 
Perhaps you already know that Anders Åhlin died in Solna 04/28/1876 and his wife Christina in the same parish 12/12/1881.
 
On 1865 Anders ,Christina with the children Anders Alfred and Hilda Amalia moved to Stockholm, and on 1868 the parents and Hilda Amalia moved to Solna, address Ulriksdal.

Hej Anita, Mats och Inga!
 
Förlåt att jag har dröjt med att skriva.  
 
I am able to read and write basic Swedish, so if you would rather write to me in Swedish that would be OK.
 
Just now I am trying to discover everything I can about the family of Karl Vilhelm Åhlin, who was my two sons' farmors farfar.  
 
What you have sent is very interesting.  Some I did already know.  I found information on Anbytarforum.  And I visited Vinäs, the place of Karl Vilhelm's birth, during  a trip to Sweden in 2012.  I also found his gravestone at the Böda kyrkogård.  (I have visited twice before, in 1985 and 1992, but had not found the stone.)
 
I want to take some time to make a chart of the information you all have sent.  Then I will know if I am missing any years.
 
One question:  Mats you mentioned Ulvsdal and called the place where the family lived a “mansion.”  I have not been able to find that place on the internet or a large map I have of that area of Sweden.  Can you tell me the Swedish word you translated as “mansion.”
 
Tack så mycket!  Tillbaka snart.
 
Corinne

Hi Corinne !
 
I guess I chose an unfortunate word to describe Ulvsdal. I think I instead should have described Ulvsdal as a medium- or large sized farm.  
 
Neither I could locate Ulvsdal via Google. Bit I did however find it on Bing.com. Choose Kartor ( Maps ). Type Ulvsdal on Plats. It is located some 6-7 miles northwest of Överum, along road 35.  
 
I'll see if I can help you in finding more interesting information of the family. It may take a while though. / Mats

Corinne !
 
When gathering information of the family this showed up. Seems like one of Karl Vilhelms children worked on different lighthouses.
