Thanks, Sam Blixt, for address but it comes back 'cannot find file' using http://www.nybro.se/kartor/kommunka/htm.  Am I doing something wrong?

[Sam Blixt]

Hi Esther,
 
You had put a slash before htm in the end of the address. It shall be a dot instead of a slash.
 
Regards
 
Sam

Try adding an  l  at the end of adress. Some homepages dosn´t work vhen you write htm only.

I printed the map of Kommunkarta over Nybro.  Am I right in assuming this is the map of the city and each name on the map is a parish?  Does that mean people in the Backebo parish would live in the area surrounding that parish?  I intend to write to the parish for my request.  Is it possible to find phone books for that area?

[Sam Blixt]

Bäckebo is the northeast part of Nybro, the other places are not parish's all of them.
 
The parish's in Nybro is Bäckebo, Kristvalla, Kråksmåla, Madesjö, Oskar and Sankt Sigfrid.
 
Pepople in Bäckebo are living in the area surronding Bäckebo.  
 
There is no phonebook on Internet for Sweden at all, who will you have a phone-number for?
 
Regards/Sam

I thought if there were not too many Karlsson's in Backebo I could write to all of them if I got their addresses from a phone book and get what geneaology they may have on my grandmother's side.  I know she had a brother Carl and a sister Hilma. Thanks for clarifying parishes for me.

Thanks so much, Christian, for sending the names and addreses.What is the population of Backebo?  Is this a farming community?  Now I plan to study about this part of Sweden.
