Does anyone know where this is?  Is it the name of a farm?  I have a postcard that has E. Arvickson, Frän Hemmett on it.  So far, have not been able to locate E. Arvickson's birth place, and wonder if this may be a clue.  Also, do have a picture that is supposedly her and her mother taken at Varberg, so possibly Hemmett may be a place around there.  Immigrated in 1881, but returned sometime around 1890's to visit her mother.  Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks for any clues you might give.

I think Från Hemmett means that she sent the card from the place there she was born, from home.
And may bee home will bee around Varberg where the picture was taken.

The name Arvickson does not sound swedish, I think that the spelling is Arvidson, a rather common swedish name.
 
Regarding Från hemmett:
home is, in swedish, hem
at home is hemma
the home is hemmet. The spelling hemmett was, in no way, unusual around the 1890s. Från = from.
 
Best regards

Maybe the typed information across the postcard will identify the area:  It has:  Postkarte. - Unione postale universelle.  Post card - Carte postale - Brefkort - Cartolina postale - Dopisnice -  OTKbPITOE HHCbMO - Levelezö Lap. - Briefkaart - Tarjetas Postale. Bilhete Postal Brevkort. Korespondencni Listek.  Any ideas where I should look?
 
Thanks for your help.

There were/are some farms/places called Hemmet. In 1890 census they are found in twelve parishes, most of them in Stockholm county and the southern counties.
One of them is in Snöstorp parish, Halland county (where Varberg also is situated):
 
Home parish: Snöstorp
Residence: Hemmet  
Per Mauritz Persson b. 1854, tannery owner
Anna Charlotta Hagström b. 1863, wife
Thyra Margott b. 1890, daughter
 
I would guess there were many more dwellings/houses/cottages called Hemmet, though they were not listed as residences in church records or census. Quite often just the (small) village was noted.
 
The text on the card is just the word postcard in different languages.
Hälsar vänligen
Maud
