Jan Eric Ericsson, Kumla Västmanland

[James Jellison]

Based on documentation from my morfar, I believe that Jan Eric Ericsson born 14 February 1852 in Kumla, Västmanland was his father.  I confirmed the birth date given by my morfar in the Kumla church birth records and also Kumla Household examination for 1846-1855 (p.104), 1856-1860 (p.275), and 1861-1869 (p.284).  He was named Johan Eric at Christening, but Jan Eric in latter records.  I seek reliable documentation regarding Jan Eric's emigration from Sweden to Amerika.  I find nothing after 1869.  I find no moving out records. In 1861-1869 he lived at a place called Wad in Kumla.  Any suggestions about how to proceed?

Thanks Calle and Maud!
 
You have saved me countless hours of work.  Your well documented data shows that I was looking at the wrong Jan Ericsson, even though he was born on the correct date.  I am very grateful for your help.  Thanks again. James
