Where is Rinkaby?

[Ron Holmquist]

Hi folks,
I've been told that Rinkaby is in one of these lans: Kristianstans, Kalmar or Örebro. Which one is correct? I'm searching for the emigration records of Swan Jenson Holmquist, b Jan 1864 in Rinkaby and his widowed mother, Christina Swenson, b May 1836. Swan and his mother emigrated from Rinkaby to Minnesota in 1884. Any information is greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Ron Holmquist

Hi Ron,
1..Rinkaby is a village, situated between the town
Kristianstad and the harbour (former town of) Ahus.
It is on the north-east coast of the landscape Skane -- at the Baltic Sea. Former name of the lan
was KRISTIANSTADs -, but now it is Skane lan.
2..Rinkaby is a village east of Orebro and that
means also Orebro lan
3..Rinkabyholm,..village south of Kalmar and that
is Kalmar lan...
.....You are welcome......Mats S.

The Rinkaby you are looking for should be a parish, since it is noted as the birthplace.
 
There are two parishes called Rinkaby. One in Kristianstad´s län (=county) in the province (sw. landskap) of Skåne, and one in Örebro län in the province of Närke. The latter in earlier days sometimes also called Ringkarleby.

I have looked at emigration from Rinkaby, Kristianstad County, in 1883.
 
Sven Jönsson, 19 years, emigrates to Minneapolis in February. (Your Swan Jenson?)
