Jan Rölander

[Erick Olofsson]

Looking for parents of Jan Rölander B. 1755 Dahl, Sweden Died 2/23/1844 Dahl, Sweden.
And his wife Maja Svensdotter b. 1877 Dahl, Sweden  died 1832 Dahl, Sweden

[Bo Nordenfors]

Not yet found his parents, but think the correct year of birth for Jan is 1775, and for Maja 1777, both on Dahl. They are shown in a clerical survey for Vänersborg parish  GID 735.3.24500,  [Älvsborg]  Vänersborg,(Älvsborg county)  AI.1, Husförhör, 1810-1812, 94-0,  Bild 77 av 125   - Jan was a soldier then at Björred Stom.

Jan Rölander died in Naglum parish (Älvsborg county) on 23 February  1844,  GID  733.18.110600,  [Älvsborg]  Vassända_naglum,  C.5, Födde,Vigsel,Död, 1841 - 1859, 369-0,  Bild 191 av 225   , he resided on Kjellebo under Torsered. Still not found his birth record.

DISBYT database has Jan as Andersson Rolander --- so perhaps we have first name of his father.... Anders  
 
I have seen spellings both as Rolander and as Rölander

[Bo Nordenfors]

Much of a guesswork:  Vassända-Naglum,. Älvsborg county,  C:4(1748--1792) pg 85  (GID 733.17.73800  )
 
1775, Sept. 8,  Johannes, son of Anders Jeansson and Ingeborg Asmundsdotter.  
Jan, Johannes, Johan and Jean is the same name.
 
On the other hand, we also have a parish called Rölanda in Älvsborg parish...

Jan Rolander has been discussed in 2002 (however in Swedish,
 
From the postings I learn one thinks he was from either Rölanda or Frändefors.
