You expect every vital record to be on the LDS website? or maybe it's your spelling giving you problems... would be far too easy a preoccupation if everything was on one website.... only a fraction of records are on this site. Try checking the records out yourself, or hire a researcher. Andy.

I found my ggrandfather's birth/baptismal records in Nederluleä, Sweden. The records are very hard to read but I believe he was illegimate. I have two questions. I can read "Skon" or "Ikon" after his mother's name which appears to be Lisa Johanna Carlsdatter. Does anyone know the meaning of this word, is it a name? I ask that because on his marriage license in Nebraska he listed his father's first name as "Skon". I thought that was an error but now I am unsure. Second question the column on the far right has "Stuksen" "confnd". Any ideas on the meaning? Thanks in advance. Pat

Hello Gen-Nordic List; To those of you in Norway, or have friends in Norway, we are very excited about one of your artists. His name is Tom Bråthen and has a CD out there and doing very well. On a station on the eastern part of Norway, his record is number 1. The name of the song is YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE A HOME and it was recorded right here outside of Nashville, Tennessee. I understand there is some kind of voting process in rating records or artists over there that the general public participates in. If you haven't heard his recording, I'll bet a call to your local radio station will get it played for you. We here where he recorded are eager to know what people in Norway think of Tom and of the song. Karen Kennedy geneken@usit.net

It's an EXCELLENT site. Lots of info and articles there. One of the best I've seen.

Hello Listers I am new to Nordic research and am in need of advice. I have located the six unmarried sisters of my friend's grandfather in Oslo in the 1900 census. How or where do I start to trace their marriages and descendants since that time? We do know that they , or some of their descendants were alive there in the 1950's, but we don't know their names or whereabouts in Oslo. Any advice would be much appreciated John in Sydney Australia

Hej! (Short in English at the end...) Min mormors morfar var dansk och jag undrar nu om det finns nå't sätt för mig att hitta hans ursprung "hemifrån" eller om jag måste ta mig till Danmark eller be någon om hjälp... Så här ligger det till... Min mormors mormor hette Kristina Johannesdotter och var från Kalvsvik i Sverige (f. 1849-10-05). 1868 fick hon "fräjdhetsbetyg" till Danmark, men det ser inte ut som om hon åkte nå'n längre tid då (hon är fortfarande kvar i husförhörslängderna). I juli 1871 tog hon ut flyttattest till "Jutland" varvid hon far. I februari 1875 kommer så "Urmakare Johan Andreas Pålsson" (ursprungligen Poulsen?) med familj från Danmark till Vislanda, Sverige. I hfl står att han var född 1846-11-11 i Schlesvig och att han och Kristina gifte sig 1871-06-28 (har inte kollat vigsellängd för Kalvsik - upptäckte just att de vigde sig *innan* hon tog ut flyttattest!!). Det står även att de flyttat från "Älso församling i Danmark". Frågan är om Älso är en försvenskning av stavningen eller av uttalet?! De hade två döttrar födda i "Danmark": Margreth Magdalene f. 1871-07-06 och Johanne Emerense f. 1874-07-16. Jag har frågat om detta förut och fick då flera bud på var de kan ha flyttat från, men har inte haft möjlighet att kolla upp dessa. Finns danska "folketellinger" på nätet? Kan man beställa mikrokort till Sverige eller måste man vara på plats? Eller ska jag hoppas på att någon kan tänka sig att hjälpa mig? :-) Min mormor är väldigt nyfiken på vem hennes morfar var (släkthistorien gör gällande att han blev utslängd från Danmark p.g.a. mord... Men det tvivlar jag på! :-) )för en och eftersom hon är 83 borde jag väl göra ett försök att hitta honom! :-) Short in English: ----------------- I'm looking for mu g-g-grandfather who was born in Schlesvig, Denmark 1846-11-11 - called Johan Andreas Pålsson (Poulsen as Dane?). He married Kristina Johannesdotter from Kalvsvik, Sweden in 1871 and they got two daughters in Denmark, before moving to Vislanda, Sweden in 1875. The daughters are Margreth Magdalene and Johanne Emerense. The parish in Denmark they left is called "Älso" according to Swedish church records. I wonder if someone might have stumbled over them or knows how to find them in an "easy" way... /Malin -- |\ _,,,---,,__ /,`.-'`' -. ;--;;,__ |,4- ) )-,_..;\ ( `'--' -----------'---''(_/--'--`-'\_)------------------ | Malin Warnqvist Rimby | | malin.warnqvist.rimby@era.ericsson.se | -------------------------------------------------

I ran across this in my genealogy where the twins were baptized immediately at home in case they didn't make it, and then about a month later when they were healthier they were baptized in the church.
