Liedbeek / Liedbeck

[Michel Sern]

Does someone has information about Eric Axel Liedbeek (or Liedbeck) he was the compagnon of Pieter Julius Serné in Amsterdam in the 18th century. I think this name, Liedbeck, is a Scandinavian name, am I right ?

Hi, Michel,
Eric Axel Liedbeck, born 1737, dead in Amsterdam between 1776 and 1792, was a merchant in Amsterdam. He belonged to a rather wellknown Swedish family. His father was the chief inspector of customs in Karlskrona in the south-eastern part of Sweden Axel Liedbeck (1708-1765). A brother of Axel was Lars L. (1707-62), professor of mathematics at the university of Lund. Nils (dead 1722), member of the magistrates' count in Jönköping, was the father of Axel and Lars. I am afraid I don't know Pieter Julius Serné, who was he?
Sincerely,
Håkan Widell

Hello Håkan,
Thanks for your answer. Pieter Julius Serné was baptized in Stockholm at the age of 17 in 1761(but born in Haarlem, Holland). He married in Amsterdam with Cornelia Hermina van Balen. His father was a silkworker in Stockholm. His father died in Stockholm in 1783. Pieter and Eric were compagnons in Amsterdam. They traded with people in Philadelphia (USA). I don't know what they traded in (silk?)....
greetings
Michel Serné
