Svanskog, Varmland Marie Louise Sundell

[Esther Kramer]

Hello, I am looking for information on Marie Louise Sundell, born 1855 November in Svanskog, Father Anders Swenson Sundell, born 13 May 1824, Mother Anna Lena Larsdotter, born 11 May 1832.  I am trying to find her husbands name and information about him.  She emigrated to Amerika about 1886 with her daughter Anna Marie, born 30 Jan 1879.  I have the name Gustaf Wilhelm Nicholson for her husband, but I can find nothing about him anywhere.  Thank you so very much for reading my email!  I am thankful for whatever help you can give me!

Hello Esther
I am writing to you from Svanskog. Maria Lovisa was married to Gustaf Wilhelm Niklasson 1878-04-21. They got two daughters: Anna Maria in 1879-01-31 and Hulda Christina in 1881-08-10. Hulda Christina got scarlet fewer and died 1888-02-14. 1889-08-08 the family got certificate to emigrate. I belive Gustaf Wilhelm was in America a period earlier.
The parents of Gustaf Wilhelm were both from Svanskog: Niklas Jansson 1811-06-14 - 1890-05-04 and Britta Jonasdotter 1808-02-12 - 1885-09-25. They married 1837-10-22 and after that they went to the province Dalsland. Niklas was a overseer of a wood for the crown. 1865-06-06 the family was back in Svanskog and the place Strand with five children:
1. Stina Fredrika 1838-06-18 - 1908-04-23. She was born in Torrskog and lived in Svanskog.
2. Gustaf Wilhelm 1843-07-07 he was born in Vårvik. Emigrated to America.
3. Anna Kajsa 1846-02-16 she was born in Vårvik, married and got five children.
4. Jan Jakob 1849-05-24 he was born in Vårvik and emigrated to America 1873-04-12 and
5. Alfred Nikolaus 1853-05-04 he was born in Vårvik, he went for a soldier and got the name Enekvist, emigrated to America 1881-09-26.
In Sweden we always wonder about what happened the persons who left for America. In 1973 Arland Hultgren was on a visit here. I think he comes from the same family as you. Do you know him? I hope this will be to some help and that you can understand. It is a lot of years since I left school.
Very kindly
Marianne

Hei Marianne Magnusson!
 
Jeg leter også etter aner i Svanskog, og tilhører muligens samme slekt som Britta Jonasdotter. Vet du mer om henne?
 
Min ane het Jonas Larsson f.06.11 1821 og døpt o Svanskog 09.11 1821. Foreldrene het Lars Jonasson og Barbro Larsdatter. Jonas emigrerte til Norge ca 1853/1854.
