Looking for information on Carolina Josefina Persdotter, born 13 September 1864, Gunnarsmala, Kalmar Lan, Misterhult Parish, Sweden. Also her parents, Per Johan Andersson, b. 8 March, 1834, and Emma Maria Nilsdotter, b. 29 Sept 1844, both from Gunnarsmala, Sweden and Misterhult parish. They were married 5 December, 1862 also in Gunnarsmala, Misterhult parish.

Thank you Elisabet, yes, this is the family I am looking for. The son born to Karolina is my father. As I am the last living relative on my fathers side, I want to know all about my grand mother and her family.
The years I am interested are after the year my father was born, 1886. He was born with no last name, how did Karl Teodor become Karl Teodor Svensson?. and what became of my grand mother, Carolina Josefina. Thanks again for answering my post..

[Persdotter]

I see in the post from Elisabet that six children to Per Johan and Emma Maria Andersson.
 
(1)Sven Viktor, (2)Axel Fredrik, (3)Selma Kristina, (4)Maria Sofia, (5)Anna Matilda, (6)Karolina Josefina.  
 
 The information I received when I posted on the immigration board seeking my father the children listing were as follows; (1)Karl Johan, b. 20 August 1866, d. 6th of April 1888, (2)Sven Viktor b. 06 Oct 1872, (3)Axel Frednik, b. 22 Oct 1874, (4)Selma Krisina b. 25 Dec 1876, (5)Axel Robert Karlsson, b & d, unknown, (6)Anny Mitilda, b. 27 July 1866. (7) Karolina Josefina. Could someone help me with this? Who are the correct children. Thanks before hand..

Hi Persdotter,
In the SCB (statistic book) for Misterhult I have found this:
 
Born 1864 13 Sept.
Carolina Josefina
Parents: Per Johan Andersson and Emma Nilsdotter, Hörningsbäck under Fårbo, Misterhult.
 
In the Misterhult church book C:5, p 178 I found this:
 
Born 1844, 29 Sept.
Emma Maria
Parents Nils Fr. Nilsson and Cajsa Lisa Nilsdotter, 33 years old, from ?? Hult, Fårbo.
 
The father, Per Johan Andersson born in 1834, I could not find, although I searched the whole year of 1834.
Deaths for that period are much more difficult to find, as those church books are not available on the internet.  
Perhaps someone else can help you there.
By the way, what's your first name?
 
Regards,
Monica

Thanks Monica, every bit that I receive helps put the family together.  
 
My full name is Rex Allen Gunnerson, the spelling from Gunnarson to Gunnerson was changed sometime in the forties. Again, thanks for the information on my relatives.

Hi Rex,
 
I have asked for help further down this board (Källor - Internet - Arkion - efterlysningar (Folkräkningen 1890/1900 m.f.) and got an answer from Solveig Jagelius, here in translation and shortened:
 
Census Misterhult, Kalmar län 1900
 
Place: Sulegång Gunnarsmåla  
Persons in the household:
 
Family no: 1  
Per Johan Andersson b. 1834 in Misterhult (married man/father) Farmer
Emma Maria Nilsdotter b. 1844 in Misterhult (married mother/wife)  
Sven Viktor b. 1872 in Misterhult (son)  
Anny Matilda b. 1886 in Misterhult (daughter)  
Axel Fredrik b. 1874 in Misterhult (son)  
 
Family no: 2  
Karolina Josefina b. 1864 in Misterhult (unmarried daughter)  
Karl Teodor Svensson b. 1886 in Misterhult (son out of marriage)
 
Why Karl Toedor was called Svensson I don't know for certain, but probably his father's first name was Sven. In the birth record, however, only the mother is mentioned.  
 
What happened to Carolina Josefina after 1900 I don't know. I had hoped to find some information by help of the cencus 1900.
 
I have also looed up the children of Per Johan Andersson and Emma Maria Nilsdotter and compared the list from Elisabet (Census 1890) with your list. Both are quite okay. But Maria Sofia is missing on your list. She was born 24 Febr. 1881. And Anny (Anna) Matilda was born 24 July 1886.
Karl Johan, born 20 August 1866 was the oldest child, and the reason why he is not on Elisabet's list is that he was already dead by then.  
 
Axel Robert Karlsson was probably a farm hand. I have found a Axel Robert, b. 25 Sept. 1888 in Misterhult.
