I am looking for information on my Swedish ancestors. According to Flymyra Morkarla parish records, my ancestor Johan August Allén was born November 11, 1854 in Skäfthammar (parish?) [record 4058714] His wife was Anna Lovisa H<http://ahlen.tribalpages.com/family-tree/ahlen/394/152/Anna-Hgg-Family>ägg, b. Jan 12, 1862 [Record 4058715] They had several children, including: s. Karl Johan (my ancestor), b. 1885 d. Hulda Charlotta, b. 1886 d. Ebba Adèle, b. 1888 s. Oskar Axel, b. 1897 s. Gunnar Emanuel, b. 1902 Here is a link to a post regarding the record numbers listed above. The information here comes from those record numbers plus the original Flymyra Morkarla parish records. Does anyone have information on the parents/ancestors of my Johan August Allén or his wife? Thanks, Sondra Lovewell Ahlén freybjorg@gmail.com
