...Is a helpful history (in English) available for
Swedish Lutheran Church that includes
highlights for 16th and 17th centuries in
Kalmar & Jonkoping, Smaland? Have recently
learned of ancestry in Kalmar that includes
four parsons from that period and wish to
begin better understanding the church history.
The parsons were Gudmund Petri (??-1635),
Torslunda, Oland; Josephus Andrae
(??-1588), Ljungby, Kalmar; Alexander
Clementis Gryphius (1585-1655), Virserum,
Hultsfreds; Clemens Jonae (Grip) Gryphius
(??-abt 1609). Virserum, Hultsfreds. Also will
appreciate being in contact with anyone else
having these people in their ancestry or
knowing more about these lines. Thank you!
