John, You didn't say what year your Carl John Emigrated or if he was married at that time. Also have you checked if he was a member of one of the local churches ~ many times those membership records will list where they were born. Also, might your Carl John's birth date be his baptism date? If so, here is a possible person listed on the Emibas CD Info from the Swedish Emibas CD Post 367790 Johansson, Carl Johan Arbetare (unmarried man) b. 5/20/1847 in Karlshamn, Blekinge län (Blekinge) Emigrated 7/16/1873 from Särskild Förteckn.Litt J, Karlshamn, Blekinge län (Blekinge) to Bornholm amt, Danmark Source: Household Examination Roll, p. 1566 Emibas migration file ID: Karlshamn K 1873 027 Un-normalized versions: Place of destination: Bornholm Country of destination: Danmark Dee from MN -----Original Message----- From: sweden-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sweden-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John Bloom Sent: Monday, December 17, 2012 3:21 PM To: Swedish Look Ups Subject: [SWEDEN] Photographers in Sweden - Late 1840's Today I was looking through a box of old family documents and I came across a picture of a small infant. On the back cover of this photo, someone wrote "Carl John Bloom". I have searched unsuccessfully for years to determine where my great grandfather, Carl John Bloom, born 22 May 1847 came from in Sweden. The picture is on paper. I believe photography in Europe commonly used paper at this time. The photographer's name or business name is embossed on the photo. It is "Philleo". I was curious if anyone on the mailing list has seen pictures from this photographer. If so, do you know the location of the photographer or even the location of an ancestor who had a picture taken by this photographer. Thanks for any and all comments. Regards, John from Iowa. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SWEDEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
