Emma Charlotta Douglas Anderson

[Kim Broekhuizen]

Hi - I'm trying to find more information on Emma Charlotta Douglas Anderson. She married Sven Johan Johanson. Sadly, I know very,very little. I know that Sven Johan Johanson was born in 1843 and died in 1928.  
 
They had 8 children: (Decentia) Sensia Dorthy; Teckla (Tickla) Olivia; John Oscar; Klaus Anton; Alma Victoria; Karl (Charles) Gustav; Axel Lenus; Signe Carlotta.
 
I'm hoping to learn more about the parents and the families they came from.

According to Census 1900 they resided at Hagen, Berg parish, Skaraborg county.
D. Signe Charlotta b. 1895 in Skövde Stadsförsamling.
 
by the way, do you descend from one of the children?If so, do you know when your ancestor left Sweden, and if she/he had siblings who made the same?
This information will make it  easier for us to help you out, what you can do is to check Death Index Sweden 1947 -- 2003 and/ or Census 1970/ 1980.
Such things can be looked up at this message board, too.

[Bo Nordenfors (Nob)]

From Swedish Death Index,
1947 - 2003
He took surname Hagman, probably from the place  Hagen in Berg parish.
You have to ask for estate inventory for Klas Anton in order to get information re. children, if any.
This can be done thru Landsarkivet, Göteborg, let us know if we can help you.

Hi  
 
Yes, I am related to Karl (Charles) Gustav - my great grandfather. He came to the US  
around 1903. I also believe that Signe came over a few years later.
 
I would also be interested in an estate inventory for Klas Anton.  
 
Any help this list could provide would be great. We know very little about the parents Emma & Sven Johan - so any thing that might lead me closer is great. Thanks.

[Kim Broekhuizen]

Thanks, Bo. :-) I am very appreciative of the help from the board members.

[Kim Broekhuizen]

Is there anyone that can help me look up more information on Emma & Sven? I assume they both died in Sweden, but I don't know when. Or can I find out when they were married? Or who their parents were?

[Bo Nordenfors (Nob)]

Emma Charlotta born 8 May 1853 in Låstad, baptised same day, father Jonas Magnusson, mother Cajsa Isaksdotter,41,  residence:  Nohlgården, Låstad
(Odensåker C:4, GID 1051.32.83600)
Will revert on Emma Charlotta!
 
in the meantime:
 
 
Sven Johan Johansson born 18 Oct. 1843, christened on 19 Oct,, father soldier Johan Rosin, mother Inga Johansdotter, 39, residing under Habblagården, Låstad.,
 
(Odensåker C:4, GID 1051.32.81300 )
 
Johan (or Johannes) Andersson Rosin was born 1 August 1807 in Horn, Skaraborg county.
Inga Johansdotter was born 6 June 1804 (perhaps 6 July)  in Horn, Skaraborg county; (have not checked book of births), she died 18 Oct. 1862 in Låstad;
 
(Låstad AI:7 pg 134, GID 1550.13.31200 and THE CENTRAL SOLDIERS REGISTER)
 
this is information from the register mentioned above:
 
Document number: VG-06-0066-1830
 
Rosin, Johannes  [Andersson]
  Born:  1807-08-01
  Died:  1880-12-17
 
  Wife:  Johansdotter Inga
  Born:  1804-06-06
 
  Regiment:  Västgöta regemente
  Company:  VADSBO
  Parish:  Låstad
  File:  Habblagården
 
Sven Johan Johansson also had some siblings (I have not gone back to ensure if more than these mentioned below)
 
Maja Lisa Johansdotter born 1836 in Låstad, Skaraborg county;
she also had a son born out of wedlock;  Carl Johan , born 11 March 1862 in Låstad;
 
Anders Gustaf Johansson b. 8 June 1838 in Låstad;
Inga Stina Johansdotter b. Sept. 1840 in Låstad;
 
(This is from Låstad AI:7 pg 134   GID  1550.13.31200, a clerical survey; you have to look up births in book of births to get the original entry in the church books)
It asol appears from the clerical survey that soldier Rosin and three of the childen moved to Berg parish in 1862; i.e. Anders Gustaf, Inga Stina and Sven Johan.
Maja Lisa moved to Fredsberg parish in Oct. 1862 with her son.

More on Emma Charlotta:
Her father:
Jonas Magnusson, farmer, was born 3 Oct. 1807 in Leksberg, Skaraborg county; (Leksberg C:3 pg 23, GID  1546.34.44300 )
 
Mother of Emma Charlotta: Cajsa Isaksdotter was born in Fägre or Färed, Skaraborg county, July 1811. I am not able to find her birth record, but will try  
(This is taken from clerical survey Låstad AI:7 pg 120  GID 1550.13.30000)
 
Emma Charlotta had siblings:
 
Maja Cajsa born Oct. 1840 in Leksberg;
Magnus Alexander, born 12 Dec. 1845 in Låstad.
 
/Låstad AI:7 pg 120  GID 1550.13.30000 /
 
I have not checked if there were more siblings.

Emma Charlotta Jonsdotter and Sven Johan Johansson married in Låstad parish on 3 Nov. 1876. ( source:

Bo --
 
Wow - this is wonderful! I am so amazed at what great records are maintained in Sweden. Thank you so much for helping me learn more about my family.  
 
I'm wondering - did you see any notes on when Emma may have died?

[Bo Nordenfors (Nob)]

No, unfortunately records after 1895 are not online.
We know she lived as of 1900, but you have to check microfilmed records and they are in a few archives and also available at a fee at SVAR  (www.svar.ra.se)
I remember some records from Skaraborg are in a data-base, will try to find something for you.

[Judy Olson Baouab]

Microfilmed death records until 1920 can be found by ordering microfilm from any Family History Center.  
 
These are available for Skaraborg. Döda are deaths.
