Hi I am trying to find information on Christian Johnson who was born on April 26, 1857 in Polisound, Javlov, Denmark. He emigrated to the United States sometime around between 1879 - 1883. If you have any info on him, his parentage and ancestors please contact me. Sincerely, A. Bennett

Et vous allez dire qu'est ce que ça fait sur ce forum, et je vous répond que cela concerne le monde entier et arrétez de ne vouloir rien voir car ils sont là à nous manipuler par tous les moyens inimaginables. Ce matin le ciel était d'un bleu immaculé et d'un seul coup, des petits avions sont arrivés et ont laissé des traces partout dans le ciel mais surtout sur le village. Ils ont laissé au moins 80 couloirs de trainés blanches qui s'appellent des chemtrails. Donc il y a eu au moins 80 passages d'avion en l'espace de 2 ou 3 heures. Surtout, j'ai ramarqué qu'ils passaient surtout par 2. Maintenant le ciel, il n'est plus bleu il est parsemé de faux nuages que les trainés blanches ont laissées. Le village oû j'habite n'est pas un passage normalement d'avion. Et je peux l'affirmer ce n'est pas NORMAL tous ces passages d'avion. Et chose très très étrange, j'ai vu des gros avions passé de temps en temps, il n'y a jamais de trainés blanches. Vous, vous demandez pourquoi j'écris tout cela ? Parce que cela concerne le monde entier. Tout le monde autour de moi est malade, bronchites, angines, otites et recemment 2 jeunes de 20 ans sont morts en 1 mois et demi subitement de maladies. C'est vraiment bizarre. Mais c'est très grâve, je ne suis pas parano ou autre, non tout simplement je regarde autour de moi les yeux grands ouverts. . Au début, je n'y croyais pas trop mais maintenant que j'ai ouvert les yeux que l'on nous prend pour un troupeau de MOUTONS et d'ANES. Vous allez voir, avec les éléctions européenne, j'en suis sûre qu'il y en aura de plus en plus de chemtrails. A+ ET BON COURAGE Pour plus d'information sur les chemtrails ; allez sur google et vous verrez tous les sites qui en parlent

I have record of my gr-gr-grandfather GREGER NIELSEN and his second wife Ingeri Guldmondsdatter on the 1865 census in Telemark: He was baptised January 2, 1813. Most of his children including my gr-grandfather OLE GREGERSEN immigrated to America. However, the youngest son, GREGER GREGERSEN was still in Norway in 1877 as I found record of his marriage: MARRIAGE April 30, 1877, Hitterdal Lutheran Church, Telemark Co., Norway Banns were read: April 22, April 29, and March 6, 1877 Ungkarl, Husmand's Son Greger Gregerson, Residence Testen, Born 1853, son of Greger Nilsen Piga Gunild Olsdatter, Residence Haugen, Linde, born 1849, daughter of Ole Gunderson CENSUS 1865-telling for 0823 Hiterdal Distriknr Side Skoledistrikt Sogn Prestegjeld Gardsnavn Overskrift 266 4 81 Tinne Hiterdals Hovedsogn Hiterdal Tosten 1 Personnr Husholdning Fornavn Etternavn Familiestatus Yrke Sivilstand Alder Kjønn Fødested Stort kveg Havre Poteter 1535 16 1 GREGER NIELSEN Husfader Husmand med Jord g 52 m Hitterdals Prgj. 1 1 2 1536 17 Ingeri Guldmondsd. hans Kone g 42 k Saude Prgj. 1537 18 Halvor Gregers. hans Søn ug 15 m Hitterdals Prgj. 1538 19 Greger Gregers. hans Søn ug 13 m Hitterdals Prgj. 1539 20 Gunnild Gregersd. hans Datter ug 10 k Hitterdals Prgj. 1540 21 1 OLE GREGERSEN hans Søn Dagarbeider ug 20 m Hitterdals Prgj. I'm not sure if Greger Nilsen/Nielsen was still living in 1877, but assume he could have been as he would have been only about sixty four years old when his son married. Is there any way to find death information for GREGER NIELSEN? A census record, possibly? He lived on Testen u Tinne, Hitterdal, Telemark County, although I understand Testen no longer exists.

My great-grandfather's sister emigrated from Norway to the USA in 1892. She married a Swede there in 1895 named Karl Joel Levin. His birthname was Larsson, but he thought there were too many of those in Chicago and adopted his brother's soldier name instead -- Levin. The Swedish soldier names are a topic in themselves and probably something you are familiar with. -- Kjell Ove Hattrem I don't consider myself a pessimist at all.

I am trying to find the death dates for some relatives who died in Sola parish, Rogaland, Norway, after 1910. The microfilms that LDS has do not include deaths for that time period.

I have just located a serving spoon that I believe may have been my great grandmother's. It has an "S" on it - the first letter of her surname - with a five-pointed crown over it. Each point of the crown has what appears to be a ball attached. Could this be a Swedish crown? If so, any idea what it might mean? BTW, the spoon appears to have been made in Posen which, I believe, was in Prussia. TIA for any help. Bob Lightburn

It is a non-patronymic family name which might have been familiar to Swedes at the time. If you did not *have* a family name (you just went by "Anders, son of Carl", which was good enough if you lived in the same parish all your life), and had to pick one because you were moving to a place where people expected you to have a fixed family name, why not pick some name you knew was already in use as a family name ? > 2) Why and how a Swedish farmer would change his name suddenly from > his patronymic name ANDERSSON to the surname LEVIN in the week between > leaving his parish and arriving at the port of emigration? Pure guess - but he was starting a new life in a new country with new customs and a new language. Back then emigration was pretty much a one- way ticket deal. Why not pick a new name, too ?

But neither were many other Swedes with non-patronymic surnames that resemble Ashkenazic surnames, especially in Americanized spellings. I think the mistake being made here, although understandable, is to assume that any such name must be suspected of being of Levitical origin. > I was hoping that the clerical surveys might indicate when and why he > changed his name, but there is no indication of a name change in any of the > Swedish sources I've checked.

That geographical observation is perhaps key in that one would expect a concentration of emigrants from larger cities if they were Jewish. i.e. I don't believe that there ever were any shtetls in Sweden. As a professional researcher of Jewish genealogy, you would know better than I, and I stand to be corrected, but I don't believe that Sweden had much of a pre-war component of Jewish people and certainly fewer back in 1880. > Does anyone have any idea of: > > 1) What significance the LEVIN name has in Swedish, if any? "LE" is not a Swedish article, but "VIN" has the same meaning and association that it has in French and, to some extent, in English. There has also sometimes been a fascination with things French in Sweden and assuming such a name could be part of that. It could also be that the farmer was associated with grape growing in some way. > 2) Why and how a Swedish farmer would change his name suddenly from his > patronymic name ANDERSSON to the surname LEVIN in the week between leaving > his parish and arriving at the port of emigration? Cause & effect, when given the opportunity. Others have mentioned their cases already. As for me, my own g-gf did exactly that when he got his boat ticket in 1879!. He dropped his patronymic and assumed a *fancy* name. In his case, it was a bit too fancy and no American could pronounce it, so he had to change it again to Miller. > Any suggestions appreciated. > > Ted Gostin > tedgostin@generationspress.com HTH Bob

At the end of the 19th century the use of patronymic names was more or less abandoned. This was due to a recommendation from the government that every family should adopt a family name instead. When you emigrate, and would like to start fresh in your new country, it should be tempting to adopt the new name immediately. I must admit that IŽm not familiar with the more legal procedure. That is something I have to look in to, (sometime). Kurt F

I'm trying to figure out a name change for someone in Sweden who was known as Johannes ANDERSSON up until the time he left his parish to emigrate to the U.S. in 1880, but was then known as Johann LEVIN when he boarded the ship a week later. I have traced Johannes ANDERSSON and his family in clerical surveys for Tissleskogs parish up until April 24, 1880, when the surveys indicate that he left for the U.S. At that time, he is still listed as Johannes ANDERSSON in the surveys, as he was in all previous years and in church records. When he boards the ship a week later on May 1, 1880, however, he is known as Johann LEVIN, and in the U.S. he and his family were known by the surname LEVINE. (The family isn't Jewish.) I was hoping that the clerical surveys might indicate when and why he changed his name, but there is no indication of a name change in any of the Swedish sources I've checked. I did find that a significant number of Swedes immigrated to the U.S. under the name LEVIN (several hundred), so I'm assuming that it has some significance in Swedish. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to where these people came from, so I can't spot any obvious geographical origin. Does anyone have any idea of: 1) What significance the LEVIN name has in Swedish, if any? 2) Why and how a Swedish farmer would change his name suddenly from his patronymic name ANDERSSON to the surname LEVIN in the week between leaving his parish and arriving at the port of emigration? Any suggestions appreciated. Ted Gostin tedgostin@generationspress.com

Hello all, I am (still) trying to get a definite trace for the origin of my great grandfather, Harold Gustavus Carlsson in Sweden. I have found a likely birth record in Sweden, but as the surname is so common, I am trying to confirm it via an independent route. Harold (or Harald) was born in Sweden circa 1868 and married in Cornwall, England in 1894. In 1901 he was listed as still being a Swedish national and there is no record of him being naturalised in the UK. About 1910 he moved to Roscrea, Ireland and lived in that area for the rest of his life, dying there in 1948. According to the family, he made several return visits to Sweden to see his family. We dont have any dates for these trips, but he was believed to be planning a trip when World War 2 broke out, so it seems reasonable to assume that he was making trips occasionally in the 1920s or 1930s. So, assuming that he remained a Swedish citizen, would he have needed a passport to visit Sweden (and return to Ireland!) in the 1920s and 1930s? Are records of Swedish passports available anywhere? If so, are there any name indexes? Would the fact that he was resident in Ireland complicate matters - for example, would he have needed to apply to an embassy or consulate locally? Regards, Andy Carlson

Well respected net citizens, Elsa Hasselberg was born 20.3.1694 but who knows where and her parents are also unknown. Before 1721 she married Johan Fonselius, who became a priest in Sääksmäki Finland and they had at least 10 children: http://matrikkeli.helsinki.fi/ylioppilasmatrikkeli/henkilo.php?id=5160 She died in Sääksmäki 20.4.1760. It is possible that she is of Swedish* origin, because her husbands family spent many years as refugees from the Russian troops during the Great Wrath in Ångermanland area among others. It's also likely she comes from clergy family because she married a clergyman. Does anyone have any hints of her parents or birth place? Thank you *Yes, Finland was part of Sweden at that time.
