Johan Erik Norstrom's birth name

[Muriel]

Hello
My Great grandfather, Johan Erik Norstrom born 26 April, 1846 Skultuna parish, Vastmanland. Emmigrated to Canada in 1905. Can someone tell me what his birth name was. He was in the military for 27 or 37 years.  
Please respond in English & to my email address mkarschnik@hotmail.com

Hi Muriel,
I don't know if you have got any reply on this.  
Unfortunately your Johan Erik Norstrom was born outside a marriage and the father is not mentioned in the birthrecord. I will send you a copy of things I have checked. In 1846 births outside marriages was still illegial so chances are that the father is mentioned in a court document.
