Hi
An address given on Claes Otto Falk birth records is  
Street address: Tjärhofsgatan number 84.  
Block: Barnängen mindre.  
In the parish of Katarina, Stockholm.
My questions are
1. Where is Katarina parish located, can I find it on a map?
2. Where is the address given above.Is it a village? etc  
3. Can anyone tell me about this area. Claes Otto Falk father was listed as being a miller.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Jenny Kerr

Katarina parish is in the part of Stockholm city called Södermalm. Today it's regarded as centrally located, in the mid 19th century it was still quite rural.
Södermalm is really two words: söder which means south and malm which means commons - and in the case of Stockholm, suburb. So Södermalm is the southern suburb; suburb meaning outside the city walls (or, since this is Stockholm - the Venice of the north - not on the island where the city proper was located).
In suburbs like Södermalm (there is also Östermalm, the eastern suburb and Norrmalm, the northern suburb) workers and also farmers lived; rich city people had farms there, both for recreation and for providing their city larder with fresh food.
 
So Tjärhovsgatan (modern spelling) is not in a village, it's in Stockholm, and right behind the Katarina parish church. The street is still there - thouigh shorter than it used to be - and an apartment there would today fetch quite a large sum...
 
You can see a map at this address:
http://kartor.eniro.se/query?streetname=tj%E4rhovsgatan%2C+stockholm&what=map&asearch=1
You can zoom in (zooma in and out (zooma ut).
 
Katarina kyrka is the parish church just north of Tjärhovsgatan. It was built in 1656-95 (money problems), burned down in 1723, was rebuilt in 1724 and again burned down in 1990, was rebuilt and reinaugurated in 1995 (it still looks like the old church). Pictures here:

In the map below You can see where Tjärhovsgatan is situatedt today, number 84 must be in the west part of the street and on the north side of the street. 'The blue line marked street.

As mentioned above Tjärhovsgatan today is shorter than it used to be, actually much shorter. The pictures of Tjärhovsgatan, in above link, are from the beginning of the street. Your family lived in the other - today non-existing - end. The block Barnängen mindre is bigger today, got a different name, is not connected to Tjärhovsgatan and todays buildings in the block are modern.

Hi Jenny, According to Wikipedia the word 'malm', as in SÖdermalm, Norrmalm and Östermalm is related to 'mala', which means grind/mill/mince and 'mjÖl', which means flour. Malm actually means an area consisting of gravel and sand. The three different 'malms' are thought to have received their names from Brunkebergsåsen (the Brunkeberg Ridge), a part of the Stockholm ridge, which is a rubble-gravel ridge that runs (or used to run; much has been removed) in a north to south direction from Norrmalm.
 
Kind regards,
Ann

In above map your part of Tjärhovsgatan is not shown, it is outside the map. The even number side of the street is the south side, not the north side.

Hi everyone
Thank you for all your help. I have spent ages trying to find maps online. It is great to actually get a more accurate idea where they lived.
Everyone have a great christmas and new year.

Hi me again.
I have just found out that the block is Barnängsbacken mindre not Barnangen. Does this make a difference as to where it is situated? and if so where is it?
