Lethenström family

[Pietro]

Hi Everybody. I?m an Italian, and I?m studing History of Europe. In my thesis I have to explains many Royal families and their nobility relationship. I want to obtain information about that, but I have searching informtaion in web with no results. I?m particulary interested in Lethenström Family, which I think is one of that nobility families. Any way, I wolud like to know their origins, (I have searching in many many ancestror?s web, with no results). Could somebody explain something about that, or where I can obtain informati?n. Thanks in advance.

Hi Petro.
I?m from the Lethenström family, but it is not a royal or nobility family.
You can look at Cd record named Smed-skivan and you will find many Lettenström or Lethenström.
Good Luck

I am trying to see if anyone knows what my family name, Lethin, means. It is a bätsman name. I noticed that it is similar to the first part of Lethenström.  Does anyone know what the Lethen part of the name means or where it comes from? Thanks. -- Lisa Lethin

[Christina Backman]

What was the name of your Båtsman, where did he live and when? Very often a name like that would be created from a place-name.

[Anna-Carin Betzén]

Maybe you should continue the discussion in the , to keep all the Lethin information in one place?

[Lisa Lethin]

Hi, Anna-Carin,
 
Yes, I will take this back to the existing Lethin thread.  I put it here just to see if any of the Lethenström relatives knew what Lethen means.  Thanks. -- Lisa
 
PS  Christina -- I will answer under the Lethin thread.  Thanks for your input.

Hello Lisa!
I can tell you that the name Lettenström comes from the name of a river (Letälven) near Karlskoga where they lived and worked. The ending of Ström is typical for men who worked as smiths and the Lettenströms worked as hammarsmeder.

Hej Lotta Lettenström.
Undrar var du har fått uppgifter om Lethenström och Letälven i Karlskoga,har själv aldrig hört talas om det. Heter själv Lethenström med th men min farfars bror stavade med tt,jag har papper på att min släkt ska stavas med th och papperna är från 40-talet.Har oxå hört att släkten Lethenström är ej ett taget namn utan ett gammalt släktnamn men jag har aldrig forskat. Vet att släkten kommer uppifrån Värmland så även min farfar och hans far och farfar....

Hej
Lettenström dvs. min släktgren kommer från Visnum, samma gren som Lotta Lettenströms, och vi har spårat anor till 1690 i Sjöhammaren, Emttjärn i Visnum. Olof Andersson och Rangela Persdotter får en del söner och döttrar och plötsligt benäms dessa med namnet Lettenström ( finns flera stavningar).
