Annika Sunesdotter's ancestors

[Dean Oberg]

Have this info courtesy of Bo Persson from a previous post.
 
Sune Nilsson Åberg was foreman (Sw. 'rättare') at Falsterbo bruk. He was born 19 Oct. 1745 in Lidhult, Lönneberga parish, son of Nils Larsson (abt. 1710-1774), farmer in Lidhult, and his 2nd wife, Annika Sunesdotter (1719-1768). Her ancestors are partly known back to the middle of the 16th century.
 
Can anyone assist with any other data about Annika Sunesdotter's ancestors?
 
Thanks.

Dean,
 
Right there is your answer to why the Åberg family had a surname. Sune Åberg was a rättare; a position of trust in direct contact with the upper classes and boss of the lower classes. He needed a proper surname to mark out the boundary between him and his underlings.
 
And once the surname was assumed, it would stay with the family. Unless they fell on very hard times, then they might not use it.

Ingela,
 
That makes sense.  Was the Falsterbo bruk some kind of water powered factory?
 
Were Annika Sunesdotter and ancestors people of importance also or is their line just well documented?
 
Thanks. Dean

Dean,  
 
As it was Bo Persson who hinted that much of Annika Sunesdotter's ancestry was known, have you asked him what he knows about it? Just a suggestion...

Thanks Sam and Anna-Carin!  Good idea Anna-Carin.
