It is in Swedish, but these seem to the be the community home pages. It is in "Tranemo kommun". I believe that is approximately what you call countyin your post, but a better translation of "kommun" wopuld be "Municipality". I live not too far away from there, but since I am a Norwegian, I can not help you with the history of the place more than what you can read off the Internet.

I believe this to be a parish in Sweden but don't know which county it is in. The Swedish Embassy hasn't responded to the question. Does anyone have any knowledge of this parish (village?). It is the birthplace of my great-great-great grandfather Erik Nilsson born May 19, 1753. Any information would be appreciated. James F Barry

I found the word Lantbrukare between the name and date of a Swedish ancestor's birth in a genealogy. What does it mean? Thanks,

Salut Muligens var man allrede den gangen så høflig at man praktiserte "damene først" :-)) Men spøk tilside. Er det her snakk om en sk "nøddåp", idet din oldemor var i utgangspunkt ansett som svagelig og ville kanskje dø innen kort tid? Likevel, å deretter vente 3 år med broren synes merkelig. Ikke minst utifra theologisk princippe. Var det forøvrig samme prest som utførte disse to handelingene? Interessant problemstilling.

That would be consistent with Tønsberg, Vestfold as that is quite nearby. Hope this helps a little. Good luck :-) Marianne

Hi everybody! I've just updated my homepage with emigrants from Sør and Nord Trøndelag. Everyone of them has something to do with my or my wifes ancestors or ancestors descendants. The list isn't by far finished yet, but things takes time... :-) I'm trying to trace descendants of these emigrants! Let me hear from you if you see any familiar names or places. http://home.online.no/~er-joha/emigrant/emigrant.htm -- regards -- Thor Erik Johansen http://home.online.no/~er-joha --

http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norway/manntall.html Are great pages to read if you are searching in Norway and going thru census records. There are even pages for definitions of different census records in different years in Norway. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norway/na0.html A must for bookmarking.

As far as I know is the right translation of Logerende----.. lodger lestens@online.no > > > DavidLJoh wrote in message <20010130120350.12194.00002224@ng-cd1.aol.com>... > >Under "Family Status" in the 1865 census following a mans name is the word > >"Logerende".

I am searching for families with these surnames. The Anderson's and Larson's came from Hunnested, Sweden and Spannarp, Sweden. I cannot locate Hunnested or Spannarp on any atlas I have looked at. Where are these two towns. Also, The Anderson's and Larson's were in Centerville, IA from the mid 1800's until early 1900 (1902 at the latest) where they moved to Joliet, IL. The Johnson branch comes into play in Joliet in the early 1900's. Thanks for any help on these items.

Jeg er stødt på et for mig uforklarligt problem. Min oldemor, født i 1853 i Skodborg sogn i Sønderjylland var Tvilling. Hun blev døbt kort tid efter fødslen, hvorimod hendes tvillingebroder først blev døbt 3 år senere. Jeg tror ikke at jeg har fejllæst kirkebogen, men jeg vil nok læse kirkebogen igennem igen næste gang jeg er på arkivet. Er der nogen der har et bud på, hvad der ellers kunne være årsagen. Børn blev vel normalt døbt inden for i hvert fald det første år efter fødslen. I københavnske kirkebøger er jeg dog stødt på børn der først er blevet døbt når de er flere år gamle. M.vh.

I understand that it was common in the 19th century for older children to be boarded at friends or relatives so they would be close to school and/or work. Is that a true perception?
