Hello, Can someone help translate the birth record for Pär #12 (it is the first one on the page). Djurröd CI:2 (1768-1845) p. 48 AID: v98138a.b540.s48 Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Dusty
Hi Jim This does help. I'm grateful to know when and where the marriage took place. Osby (Ousby) records start from 1772 in ddss.nu, and that is why their databases won't record them. Same for Ola's wife, Sissa Andersdotter. HFLs say she was born Ousby on 31 Mar 1766. I'll spend a little time looking through those parish records to see what I can find. At the end of the day it is Soldat Jöns LIND (b 1747) who I am interested in (where he was born, who and when he married, who his parents were), and if Ola is not a brother, and Jon and Bolla are not his parents (as now seems likely), then I shall not attempt to research the family in detail. Just looking for a connection, if one exists. It may be complete coincidence that in the 1784 Population Register for Farstorp (MTL: 1 Image 189), Jon Nilsson and family, and Soldat Lind and family are on adjacent lines. Jöns might have just worked for Jon. But when I saw that Jon and Bolla's first child was born 1748, I wondered if there might have been an earlier son. Much appreciated.

Jon Nilson (Jöns Nilsson) came into Farstorp about 1747/1748. He first appears in the Population Register of 1748 and is there for many years. Whilst I've yet to check every year, his death in 1785 is recorded at Farstorp. Jon and his wife Bolla Andersdotter had 11 children in Farstorp from 1748 to 1770. The count of 11 is recorded in the notes with their deaths (1 May 1785 for Jon and 16 Oct 1791 for Bolla). I am trying to determine if they had a son Jon about 1747, prior to coming into Farstorp (I cannot locate the marriage or birth on ddss.nu, and think they must have taken place at a parish not yet transcribed). A son Jon would mean 12 children in all, or that son might have been born before marriage. You would think a father would name a son after himself, and of the 11 names none is Jon. In Farstorp MTL:1 (1742-1830) Image 45 / page 1759, Jon Nilsson is the second line under Farstorp. I have two questions for Listers. After Jon's name is the usual 'h' for hustru, and then words I cannot make out. I then see what I think is 'Jöns Andersson og/af Ola Nilsson, og ?', perhaps torpares working for Jon on his farm (he was an annexebonde). Can anyone tell me what those words are please? Also, what is written in the column on the far right please? The same words appear for other households as well, so must be general terms. But I see them across the years and would wish to know what they are. Many thanks Kevin
Ingar seems most likely. I don't see her the following year, and don't find a death before 1759 to identify her. Jon is in Farstorp Hus in 1748 and someone else is counted with him and his wife. Same person, as far as I can tell. Not there in 1747. Ingar is probably not a family member but worth checking.

But perhaps Lisa just continued to live in a cottage at the farm after her husband soldier Jöns Lind died. And perhaps was not related to the farmers? > > In Farstorp MTL:1 (1742-1830) Image 45 / page 1759, Jon Nilsson is the > second line under Farstorp.

Can > anyone tell me what those words are please? --- probably "Ihs" (inhyses = lodgers) "S?" (son??? or soldat???) "dg." (drängar = farmhands), the little word is "och" (and), the word at the end probably "ogfta." (ogifta = unmarried). But notice that they are not counted as tax-payers... > > Also, what is written in the column on the far right please? The same words > appear for other households as well, so must be general terms. But I see > them across the years and would wish to know what they are. --- first is the mystery "S??" word, then "i tienst" (in service). So mystery word must be the title of the two men. In 1760 there is p. (piga = maid) Boel, and only Jöns Andersson now with a shorter mystery title. Probably the shorter is singular and the longer form is plural... Maybe it is soldier? I see in 1762 page 356 that men with that mystery title has comment "S?? i tienst", and "ryttare" (cavalry soldiers) has "M. i tienst". Especially as they don't seem to be tax-payers. But I don't know. Perhaps you can find some expert at Anbytarforum? http://aforum.genealogi.se/discus/ // Bo Johansson

Persons joining churches other than the state church (Evangelical Lutheran) were sometimes called before this court to account for their actions. Im presuming that is what happened here, since they are noted as Baptists, so could have joined that church in 1859. (as per Genealogical Library, Utah) He was summoned to Lund to the diocesen court. That is what happened to many dissenters, e.g. Baptists. They were questioned, threatened and sometimes imprisoned. Since the Lutheran Church was a State Church the police authorities were involved and quite a few were brought before the court. It would be very interesting to hear what happened when Nicholas was questioned by "domkapitlet" (the court) in Lund. Was persecution or bad behavior from the authorities a reason for their emigration? I think that he was baptized and had joined the Baptists before October 1858 and that this was the reason for summoning him to Lund. The local priest had probably reported to the bishop. The Baptist Church in Yngsjö (Åhus) was founded in 1856. --- On 7/7/2015 9:04 AM, Barbara Young via wrote: > Hi Dusty, > > Some of my tree - siblings of - were Baptists.

Hi Dusty, I am not sure what you are looking for. But, the Lutheran priests were charged with maintaining records for the population in general. So, no matter what religion was practiced, vital records were recorded by the Lutheran church. I have run across many instances of odopt (not baptised) or notes that families were Baptist or Mormon. So, being a member of another religion would not preclude B/M/Ds being recorded. If you are just interested in "general" information on how people were treated, others may have more information.

Dusty -- I have no research sites to give you, but here is what I have from research into my great-great grandparents --- --- 10-27-1858 Summoned to Lund “Lund is where the diocesen court was located. Persons joining churches other than the state church (Evangelical Lutheran) were sometimes called before this court to account for their actions. I’m presuming that is what happened here, since they are noted as Baptists, so could have joined that church in 1859.“ (as per Genealogical Library, Utah) He was summoned to Lund to the diocesen court. That is what happened to many dissenters, e.g. Baptists. They were questioned, threatened and sometimes imprisoned. Since the Lutheran Church was a State Church the police authorities were involved and quite a few were brought before the court. It would be very interesting to hear what happened when Nicholas was questioned by "domkapitlet" (the court) in Lund. Was persecution or bad behavior from the authorities a reason for their emigration? I think that he was baptized and had joined the Baptists before October 1858 and that this was the reason for summoning him to Lund. The local priest had probably reported to the bishop. The Baptist Church in Yngsjö (Åhus) was founded in 1856. --- On 7/7/2015 9:04 AM, Barbara Young via wrote: > Hi Dusty, > > Some of my tree - siblings of - were Baptists.

I have seen some members of my family listed as Baptist in the Parish records. The family member I am looking at is really different though. She came to America in 1884 then when back to Sweden sometime before 1899. I have letters from her to her siblings in America, so I know where she was in Sweden. However, she is not listed in the the census or the Parish records until 1912. By that time she had taken over the care of her orphaned niece and nephews. I recently have seen a photo album that belonged to her. In it she had the pictures of 3 religious figures. Off the top of my head I do not remember the religion but it was not Lutheran. I had it explained to me that if they were part of a recognized nonconformist religion they would be listed in the Parish records and if it was a unrecognized nonconformist religion they would not unless they had a life event like a birth, death or marriage. I am thinking, or trying to see, if maybe her religion was an unrecognized nonconformist religion and that is why she is not listed. During that time she did not have a life event.

I believe that years ago, the Lutheran Church was the official Church of Sweden. Many, like my grandparents on both sides, didn't want to belong. On one side, they were Baptists and on the other, Evangelical Free Church. I think they all came to America because of this. I d on't know if they were actually persecuted.
