I am trying to find out where my gg grandfather is buried in Sweden. His name is Liss Mats Person (Persson) 1830 - 1884 and is supposed to be buried in a Lutheran Church yard near Falun (Lake Siljan). I have no idea where to look at, is any of this information on line? I would appreciate any help with this that I can get. My parents have a trip planned and want to see his grave. A family member visited his grave about 15 years ago but is now deceased so I have no help with this. Thank you, Linda

Thank you Bo, Yes it was the wrong reference (Olof was alone and not with his family) Thank you for the correction. Here are the birthdates and references for the other children Kierstin 30 April 1751 Södra Ving (1750-1791) image 8/page 7 Rangilla (age 34 in 1788 Boupteckning) Britta 21 April 1757 Södra Ving (1750-1791) image17/page 25 Pehr 1 Dec 1761 Södra Ving (1750-1791) image 23/page 37 It appears that the family has moved between the birth of Kiersten and Britta. Is it possible that Rangilla was born with a different name and by 1788 she was using the name Rangilla? So I have the correct birth month for Kierstin? Thanks for all your help.

Thank you BO. I am a bit confused, mostly because I have not dealt with patronymics before. I can see how Maja Greta ( I am assuming that"s her first and middle name) could be heard as Margreta. What I am having a hard time with is Olson ( and they used Ohlson alot also) coming from Johanson. Understanding at the person on the boat wrote down what they heard. Her death certificate here said her father was John Anderson which makes sense with Andersdotter. I also don't know where the husband is. He is not listed with then on that page of the boat list.

I cannot find my Olof Andersson Lindqvist after 1827, and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. He was born 10 March 1792 in Liaby, Näsby parish, Örebro. He married Maja (Maria) Larsdotter in Ervalla parish, and had a daughter Brita in Liaby in 1817. He apparently had some mental problems, and was noted as “impos. mentis” (without sense) on the household examination record for 1816-1825. He moved frequently for most of his life, and lived apart from his wife and daughter for a number of years. I found him last here, Näsby AI:11 (1826-1835) Image 67 / page 63 (AID: v52160.b67.s63, NAD: SE/ULA/11161) where he is noted as “gift dräng”, that his wife lived in Ervalla, and that he left for Stockholm in October 1827. There are no utflyttning records for this period, so I have no idea where in Stockholm he went. I have Olof fairly thoroughly documented up until he went to Stockholm, but nothing at all after that. Maria was noted as being “wife [crossed out] widow” on the 1836-1846 household examination records, but it isn’t clear whether Olof actually died or was merely presumed dead. Thanks for any help, Jeanne Smith

I am following the Olof Jönsson family in Södra Ving, Älvsborg. Olof dies in 1788.

Hi Lance, Swedes often took a different last name when they came to this country, most seemed to have adopted their father's patronymic. By the late 1800s Sweden abandoned the patronymic naming system and people could choose their own name. I have had families where each individual chose a different name. There was no explanation why people chose different surnames. I still haven't been able to locate Johanna with her family. She was likely the last birth so I will work backwards in the birth records. I'd make your friend by you a whole meal. (-;. Lo On 6/27/2014 10:11 PM, Lance L.

Dear List Members, Okay, the second part of the SÖDERBERG saga, is her husband, John Olaus JOHNSON, as he was known in America. I haven’t located an immigration record on him yet. However, the census records state that he came to America in 1882. He was born 31 Mar 1861 in Sweden. He married Hannah SÖDERBERG in 1884 in Bayfield Co, Wisconsin. According to his death certificate his parents were Johan OLSON and Hanna. Sweden was the only thing stated as place of birth. I told my buddies wife on what was found thus far. She informed me that McDonald’s don’t have mushroom burgers so I might have to change the venue. Regards, Lance

Correction on Johanna's mother's name, She was Kjerstin Andreasdotter. On her birth record, ArkivDigital source Ryda C:3 (1859-1871) Image 21 / page 16 (AID: v14243.b21.s16, NAD: SE/GLA/13436), her father was Magnus Johansson. The 1820 year of birth must be correct for Kjerstin because her age is 41 in the birth record. Am trying to figure out the place of birth (farm/village) but am having a hard time.

The Johanna Magnusdotter in the emigration record was born 13 Dec 1860 in Ryda (not Essunga), Skaraborgs län. In the HFL where she lived at the time of her emigration, her widowed mother was Kjerstin Andersdotter, b. 8 Sep 1820? in Magra, Älvsborgs, d. 19 Dec 1892 in Essunga, Skaraborgs.

Dear Lo, Thanks...I think I may make my order a mushroom burger, if this keeps up. How is it that she went by SÖDERBERG? Was that a farm name? In a later US Census there is a Gustaf SÖDERBERG living in the household. Looks like he came to America a year earlier.
