I was using ArkivDigital today and I noticed on the Västrum [Kalmar] Congregational Records AIIa:2 (1901-1905) i.3970/p.387 line 6 for Johan Emil Andersson, column 15 (Värnpligtsförhållanden) there is the notation “80 115/01.” Can anyone tell me what this means? Thanks, Bob Lightburn

My grand father Alfrid Nilsson,came from Kalmar, Vimmerby, Vena Parish. He emigrated to Euclid, Minnesota around 1879. Where should I look for his emigration?

It means he was conscript number 80 in company area 115 in 1901. (Värnpligtsförhållanden = military conscription circumstances) Company area 115 was 1886-1901 Gripsholm's company area of Södermanland's regiment. http://hhogman.se/inskrivningsomraden.htm#Inskrivningsområden_1886_-_1901 That is a little strange, first that he was in the Södermanland regiment, second that it was as late as 1901. One explanation could be that he was a regular soldier until 1901, and got the conscript number when he was discharged. Swedish Census 1900 has only one Johan Emil born 1877 in Lofta, and he is a Guards soldier: Anderson, Johan Emil Gardist b. 1877 in Lofta (Kalmar län, Småland) Boy 5:te Skvadron Hedvig Eleonora rote 20 (Stockholms stad, Uppland) Kyrkobokföringsort: Lifgardet till Häst ----------------------------------- // Bo Jhansson

Thanks, Bo. This gives me a lot of new information on one of my Swedish cousins. I think that I speak for everyone on this list when I say what a tremendous help you have been to those of us tracing our Swedish ancestors and other relatives. Thanks, again.
