Hi Naomi, "Could it possibility be "destination unknown"?" No. That would be something like obekant ort or obekant destination. "According to the destination it appears to be Gga" Maybe it is the priest's abbreviation for Gillberga which is very near Långserud parish. Look in the SÄFFLE section of the following map. http://tinyurl.com/axg7qs6 Is this your Johan August Wellander in the 1900 Swedish Census CD? Record 2188743 Velander, Johan August Inhyses b. 1876 in Långserud (Värmlands län, Värmland) Boy Kohlsäter. Gillberga (Värmlands län, Värmland) Place of birth (original source): Långserud Judy Orland Park, Illinois Sent: 12:05 P.M. U.S. Central Time, December 7 ----- Original Message ----- Hi List, Thanks to Martin for providing me a clue on the Welander family I have been able to follow them in Långserud Värmland. One of the sons, Johan August Welander, moves out 15 Nov 1892. According to the destination it appears to be Gga and I cannot make sense out of it. There are several others on the page with the same destination. Could it possibility be "destination unknown"? He is listed on the right hand page and is #81.
