Did Hugenots flee to Sweden in 1600s?

[Ishbel Cormack]

Did many Hugenots flee to Sweden from France in the late 1600s? Did they tend to settle in any particular part of the country?

[Christina Backman]

Did you have anyone particular in mind,  
Ishbel? I have a feeling they were few and far  
between and there is no mention of them in  
Svensk Uppslagsbok.
Regards Christina.    .

Christina:Johan August Andersson,born May 15,1855, my grandfather from Sweden may have had ancestors that were Hugenots.A senior member of our family remembers someone talking about this but there is no proof. As I am trying to find out where Johan August came from in Sweden I am using this clue. Thanks for your answer.

Ishbel!
 
In Stockholm there is a French- reformert congregation founded latest in the 1680:s. This ought to be the oldest hugenot congregation in Sweden. The address of this congregation is Fransk-reformerta församlingen, Humlegårdsgatan 13, 114 46 Stockholm. Perhaps they can help you there.
 
Best regards Matts Sandström
