Gryphius-and-related of Virserum

[Roger D. Hughes]

FYI, I've recently uploaded a database (Hughes-Bemis & Evans-Thor(e)son Families) to the Web that includes Gryphius-and-related families and descendancies. This extends to various of the descendants who emigrated to the U.S. and principally settled in the state of Minnesota. There also is the Hammarskjold connection. And there are others from Sweden, as well.

Queries are welcomed.

I glanced at your site and picked Eva Lisa Nilsdotter at random because she had emigrated at a late enough time period that she might be on a database. Since her father was Zakris, she would have been Zakrisdotter (daughter of Zakris Nilsson, who was the son of Nils something) in Sweden. I found someone who married your Jonas Peter, so I think she is the right one.

I think this is that couple (plus some children) on the Emibas CD. Emibas was made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country. It is about 75% complete.

This is important to read.

Judy,  
 
You are on target here. I already had most of this info in my database notes, but this adds some details. This isn't my direct line, but it IS a direct line for a distant cousin living in Minnesota. I'll forward your posting to him.
 
A person whose fate I'm even more curious about is a ggg-grandfather, Jonas Peter (Jonas Petter Johansson) Johannisson (1807/Vetlanda-Unk/USA). He's in my database. But this search is USA-based, rather than Sweden, and already has been extensive.  
 
He emigrated in 1857, along with Christina Charlotta Carlsdotter and possibly a couple of others. You sent me info on this in 2005 and I also had received similar data, earlier,  from another source-person.
 
Many thanks for your Lundeen et al posting!
