Where did Alfred Johansson on line 13 move in 1889? Thank you. Annette

Patricia Thank you for your input Kitty My recommendation is to start with Family Finder (FF) (FamilyTreeDNA has it for $99).  It finds cousins (who have taken the FF test also) and they can be connected to you up to about five-six generations back.   On Saturday, May 17, 2014 12:49 PM, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: Has anyone on this list done the DNA testing?  If so, which one did you do and would you recommend it?

Looking for birth record of Karl Edvin Widerstrom born 26 Jan 1904 in Orrefors. I think Orrefors is in Kalmar but cannot find it on Genline or ArkivDigital.

The church records included everyone, also those who where members of other religions/churches than the Church of Sweden. If you suspect your Johan Jacob was born in Tossene, perhaps he can be found in the "Sockenlängd" (parish population list) created by the "Sotenäs personhistoriska förening".

I have tested with all three as has my mother. I have made several matches on my father's side and none so far on my mothers, but we've both had a lot of fun with it.

I've done DNA testing on Ancestry (about 1 year ago) and found several matches with current researchers which proved helpful. The results provided evidence of my varied ethnic background which was mostly Northern Europe; Sweden, German, English. I have had no bombardment with any offers, upgrades, new products, etc., on any basis whatsoever.

I did both the Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA testing with Family Tree DNA several years ago. I was pleased with the Y-DNA results as it pretty much confirmed that a suspected male cousin, albeit a distant one, and I share a common male ancestor. However, I didn't have much luck with the mitochondrial DNA testing. A word of warning. If you do sign up with one of the DNA testing providers be prepared to be solicited with offers of upgrades, new products etc. on a regular basis Bob Lightburn On Saturday, May 17, 2014, <[email protected]> wrote: > Has anyone on this list done the DNA testing?

I did it with Ancestry and FamilyTree DNA and feel it a waste of money. There was extensive discussion on the subject several months ago if you want to check the archives.

Has anyone on this list done the DNA testing? If so, which one did you do and would you recommend it? Kitty Shelton WA

Does anyone have an idea about how to find out about dissenters in the 1800's. I am helping a person who has Methodist dissenters in Goteborg og Bohus-Tossene- Johan Jacob b.1836 . The records are fairly non-existant for this parish but I am wondering about the dissenters. Any idea?s-and thank you. Virginia Lindsey

Hi to all Thank you for all your suggestions , Unfortunately the Swedish Letters get lost in the system, being replaced by ? and other symbols. I have gotten most of the family information from the DDSS site (The names of the Places and children) and followed them, by finding the Baptism records. I will now try the Tax records, (Thanks for your suggestion BO, You are a great and wonderful help to us all,) although my Swedish language skill is NIL. All your help is greatly Appreciated Thank You Barbara

OK, I see their 7 children on DDSS: 1780-09-10* Ellna - Swen Larsson - Swedberg - Kierstena Nilsdotter - Kattarp 1782-12-12* Boel - Swen Larsson - Swedberg - Kierstena Nilsdotter - Kattarp 1786-01-29* Nils - Swen Larsson - Swedberg - Kierstena Nilsdotter - Kattarp 1788-07-15 Hana - Swen Larsson - Swedberg - Kiersti Nilsdoter - Kattarp 1791-07-27* Ingar - Swen Larsson - Swedberg - Kierstena Nilsdotter - Kattarp 1794-08-05* Lars - Swen Larsson - Swedberg - Kierstena Nilsdotter - Kattarp 1800-06-12* Pål - Sven Larsson - Swedberg - Kierstena Nilsdotter - Kattarp Her death record 20 April 1808 only tells us she was Sven Larsson's wife in Svedberga, age 57. But we don't see their marriage record, so they were probably married in some other parish, and it was common to marry in the bride's home parish, so she was probably born elsewhere. Check the childrens' birth records, perhaps there are witnesses from other parishes with surname Nilsson/Nilsdotter, that might be her siblings. // Bo Johansson

I see that this is in Gøtland and is next to > Østfold, Norway. How would I find a parish for his birth? Bohuslän is a province. Before 1998 it was in Göteborgs och Bohus county, which 1998 became part of Västra Götaland county. Perhaps someone can find his emigration in EMIBAS for you? You can try släktdata, many (but not all) parish records from mostly western Sweden are extracted in their database. Unfortunately, they have no Johan Jacob born 1836 with father named Jacob. There is one born 1834-12-17 at Grundsund in Grundsund parish, parents Jakob Larsson and Kristina Olsdotter (also one from Västergarn on Gotland). There is one born 1835-01-19 at Örtorp in Dragsmark parish, parents Jacob Dahlborg and Christina Wikström (also one from Hietaniemi in Norrbotten, and one from Guldrupe on Gotland). And none found born 1836-1838. But he can be from one of the parishes not covered on Släktdata (www.slaktdata.org).
