Ljung

[Georgina Smith]

Hope someone will contact me in English as I do not read Swedish.
My grandfather Per Ljung was born in Aflo in 1855. I do not find Aflo on the map. Please tell me where it is close to.  
He and one of his brothers came to Canada about 1903, but his brother soon returned to Sweden.
I found some of his sisters in 1890 Census and wonder if there are descendants still in Jamtland County.
Edvard and Marta Ljung Strom with son Karl Johan b, 1890 in Transgvikens Angsag - homeparish, Alsens.
Sigrid Ljung {widow} with son Nils Irenes b.1885 in Aflo - homeparish, Offerdals.
Hans Erick Rundvik,wife Brita Nilsdotter Ljung were living in Hutvulsvik with their children:
Brita Katarina b. 1876  
Nils Olof b. 1881
Anna Elisabett b. 1883
Sigrid Margrette b. 1887
all children born in Rodon Parish
 
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,  
Georgina

Georgina,
 
I suppose your Aflo is on this map. I can't quite see it large enough but it might be Åflo. Swedes can perhaps tell better with their own maps.

The records were kept in the parish, though.
 
Is this your relative?

Hi Judy,
 
I am so sorry that I did not get back to this forum before. I am amazed that I was a ble to post my question.
A lady just recently told me about this forum again and in the precess of trying to find the answers I got to my resent questions I find your answer from about one year ago.
Thank you so much for all the information you sent to me! Pehr Ljung is my grandfather.
 
Best regards, Georgina
