Regards and thanks Dianna The moving certificate was given to the moving person, to be handed in to the pastor's office in the destination parish. No copy of the moving-certificate was kept in the departure parish, but they did keep a moving-out list, where some of that information was recorded. The Carl Fredrik Hallgren born 1869-11-19 in Söderhamn that Peter Lundberg found, is found in the Stockholm "rotemansarkivet" 1881-1882 with his foster parents, 1884-1885 alone at "Fyrfotan Mindre 7,8" in Klara parish, moved 1885 to "Bilagan" (usually a list of people leaving without giving proper notice), and in 1885-1886 he is in the book of missing persons in Klara parish. http://www.digitalastadsarkivet.stockholm.se/Rotemannen2012/Search.aspx Since it seems he left without giving proper notice, he is probably not in the moving-out records for Klara parish. BTW, it seems a bit suspicious that his father had the same name, it wasn't all that common in Sweden. Swedish Census 1880 has only two boys named Karl Fredrik living with fathers also named Karl Fredrik. One of them was still in Sweden in 1900, the other emigrated 1891 to N.America according to EMIBAS: Fredriksson, Karl Fredrik Arbetare (unmarried man) b. 7 Jan 1868 in Hjorted, Kalmar län (Småland) Emigrated 24 Aug 1891 from Gissebo Nr 1, Hjorted, Kalmar län (Småland) to Nordamerika Source: Household Examination Roll, p. 187 ------------------------- // Bo Johansson
