Gustav Valfrid Holt GID _scb Värmland :725

[Patricia Carlson Killoran]

I found the birth record but now cannot quite understand it and do not know where to go from here.  Father Hult (Holt) Nils age 56 ??
mother Andersdotter Karolina ?? age 37
After Nils it looks like Grafarb?  Is that a place or part of his name?
After Karolina is Längh??? Is this a place name.
all I know about the family from here is that they had 2 children born in Nors, Värmland Gustav Erhart b. 11 Aug 1902 and Anne Marie b. 26 Oct 1903. the rest of their children were born in the US.  Thanks for any help. Pat

Hi Patricia,
 
The GID number is a lot more than :725. Find your record again and look up on the top right hand corner where it says GID. That is the number. Make sure you get the entire number because part of the ending seems to hide a bit. (Select all and then copy.)
 
The next step would be to go to the husförhörslängd (clerical survey, household examination record) to see who else lived in the household besides the baby and the parents, but first let's get the full GID number so we can help interpret this record.
 
I'd try to find this GID number for you but that is impossible without a parish name and a birthdate.
 
I wonder if grafarb is gravarbetare (grafarbetare) = grave worker, but somehow that seems less likely than grufarbetare (gruvarbetare) = mine worker.
 
Here is a maybe from the 1890 Swedish Census. Was Gustaf Valfrid born in the right parish and year?

The Rosenberg CD (only in Swedish) lists a couple locations starting with L in Färnebo parish. Could one of those be your Längh? The second one is a by = village. I'm not quite sure what the first one is.

Judy, the first item from Rosenberg is a description of a lake close by Långbanshyttan, which used to be a mining village. So your guess that Nils Olsson Hult was a grufarbetare is more than probably correct.
 
The place from 1890 called Horrsjön is close to Långbanshyttan.
 
When we get the correct GID I will look it up and see what it says, as this is an area that I am fairly familiar with.

[Patricia Carlson Killoran]

I am so sorry about that.  I knew that about the GID.  Dummy me.  100017.40.50100 Värmland.
the info on Nils Olsson Hult is the person that I want. Thanks Judy and Elisabeth. i still would like to know what the birth records says.    Pat

[Elisabeth Thorsell]

It just says that Gustaf Walfrid was born 1881 March 18, son of Nils Hult, grufarbet[are] (miner), age 56, and his wife Karolina Andersd[otte]r, age 37, and then the place where they lived: Långbans Grufv[a] = Långban Mine, which is in Färnebo parish.
 
Gustaf Walfrid is child #8 and his parents are properly married. The parson who christened him was called K. A. Fred?n.
 
That is all the information in this birth record.

[Patricia Carlson Killoran]

Thank you Elisabeth, the occupation was what I really wanted and the place.  i will go on now to Färnebo.  Pat

Judy, thank you for all of this.  Pretty much answers what I need for this family, at least where to go from here.  I have a lot of info about the family in America.  Will share what I have if anyone is interested.   Pat
