    1. [SWEDEN] Looking for Olof Andersson Lindqvist
    2. David Froberg and Jeanne Smith
    3. 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
