allanher — 2012-02-07 00:01:20Z

Thanks for reponding. I hope we have some connection.
Here is my lineage:
My ancestor (my G Grandmother) was born July 30 1868 in Tosse Sweden. Her birth name was Anna Maria Jansdotter.
She later used the name Andersson when she married in Norway (married Alfred Danialsson Friberg) and then when she came to Mpls. MN. she used the last name of Freeman.
Anns's mother was Laura Charlotta Andersdotter (Gustafsdotter)and she was born 1-13 1846. Laura's father's name is Lars Gustaf Andersson b. Sept. 25 1813.
Lars is the one that you have the picture of.
Since you have a picture of Lars Gustaf, our families do have some sort of connection. But the question is how?
Let me know if any of these people sound familiar.
I would love to hear from you.
Mary

I still have the photo; it was sent to me in an old album by some relatives in Sweden. The Andersson line is part of my family, but I do not have a great deal of information about them. I'd be happy to correspond and see where we might have useful information to share.

Hi,
I just saw you post and I hope I am not tooo late. But I am reaserching Anders Bryngelsson (1763-1815 of Alvsborg, Sweden) and Stina Eriksson and I would love if you got in touch with me.
Hope to hear from,

Emil and Augusta

larrymelander0813 — 2012-01-20 02:09:10Z

Looking for information on Emil and Augusta. He was born in June 1873 and she was born in Feb 1870 in Stora Mellby Sweden to Erik Andersson (1832-1888) and Anna Andersdotter (1835-1916). Swedish census records say they both emigrated in 1890. But thats where they disappear. Not sure what name he used to emigrate- Swedish census said his name was Emil Eriksson and hers was Augusta Eriksdotter. However, the name could have been Andersson after his father or Eriksson which seemed to be a common practice when they boarded a west bound ship. Their mother, brothers, and sisters all changed their name to Melander in America but not sure when or whether Emil or Augusta did. Interested in anything someone might know.

Re: Anders ANDERSSON m. Stina Brita BJORKSTROM 1829 Sweden

JOBaouab — 2011-11-15 18:10:51Z

Marriage:

From scans of the original parish book and from this service:

http://www.arkivdigital.net (subscription)

Barva C:1 (1756-1851) Image 39 (AID: v54349.b39, NAD: SE/ULA/10096)

1829

December

#4 (fourth marriage of the year in Barva parish)

Den 6 December vigdes Stalldrängen Anders Andersson på Lindholms Sätesgård? med Dotter Stina Brita Björkström i Nabbletorps Qvarn.

Han 20 -- Hon 23 år gammal

Morgongafva 10 Lod Silfver, 1 __? koppar

Which means something like:

the 6th December were married Stalldrängen (his title/occupation) Anders Andersson (who lived) at Lindholms Sätesgård (a place in the parish) with Daughter (her title) Brita Stina Björkström in Nabbeltorps Mill.

He 20 -- She 23 years old.

Morning gift: 10 "Lod" (a weight) silver and 1 __? copper.

Read about marriage customs, including the morning gift, on this site written by Ingela Martenius.

http://web.comhem.se/~u31263678/genealogy/Wedding.pdf

I looked at the household examination record in the locations mentioned in the marriage record. Again, I am looking at a scan of the actual parish book.

Barva AI:4 (1823-1829) Image 78 / page 70 (AID: v54333.b78.s70, NAD: SE/ULA/10096)

Stalldr. Anders Andersson, born 3 June 1809 in Barfva (Barva), came in from page 13 in 1829, wed 6 December 1829 with wife Stina Brita Björkström in Säby (not the same small place mentioned in the marriage record)

I checked Anders Andersson on page 13.

Barva AI:4 (1823-1829) Image 21 / page 13 (AID: v54333.b21.s13, NAD: SE/ULA/10096)

Dr. (farmhand) Anders Andersson, born 3 June 1809 in Barfva, moved in from page 28 in 1827, moved out to page 70 in 1829

Then I checked page 28.

Barva AI:4 (1823-1829) Image 36 / page 28 (AID: v54333.b36.s28, NAD: SE/ULA/10096)

Dr. (farmhand) Anders Andersson, born 3 June 1809 in Barfva, moved in from page 2 in 1825, moved out to page 13 in 1827

I checked page 2.

Barva AI:4 (1823-1829) Image 10 / page 2 (AID: v54333.b10.s2, NAD: SE/ULA/10096)

Dräng (farmhand) Anders Jönsson, born 26 January 1778 in Barfva, moved in from Yttersta? in 1820

Hustru (wife) 19 July 1777 in Arila?????, moved in from Yttersta? in 1820

son Anders, born 3 June 1809 in Barfva, moved in from Yttersta? in 1820, moved out to page 28 in 1825

If you join a service with these scanned parish records, you can follow this family forwards and backwards in those records. It is not hard to do but it takes too much time for me to do it for you. I need to be working on my own genealogy.

Here is what I found by going to the location where Stina Brita Björkström was living at the time of her marriage.

Barva AI:4 (1823-1829) Image 19 / page 11 (AID: v54333.b19.s11, NAD: SE/ULA/10096)

Snickar. (carpenter) Pehr Björkström, born 8 March 1776 in Björklinge

Hustru (wife) Catherina Malmberg, born 15 September? 1779 in Barfva

son Johan Eric, born 18 January 1804 dito (ditto; in other words, he was born in Barva parish.)

dotter (daughter) Stina Brita, born 24 October 1806 dito, out in 1829 to page (but the page wasn't listed)

son Immanuel????????????, born 27 September 1811 dito, moved out to page 73 in 1826

dotter Anna Greta, born 20 March 1819 dito

I am not related.

Re: Anders Emil Andersson

elenor10 — 2011-08-06 06:16:50Z

I am looking to see if they are siblings, and yes they were both from Sweden.

SArah Helena was my great grandmother and I have a little information, but she disappeared for a while so did wonder if her brother came to Australai at the same time and if I found him i might find her.

Re: Anders Emil Andersson

JNoonan4646 — 2011-08-04 16:56:21Z

I am not all sure of what information you are looking for exactly. Are you asking if they were siblings? Or what happened to Sarah Helena? What do you mean by "finding a relationship"

They were from Sweden? That is the typical way to spell Andersson/Anderson from Sweden If they were you should be able to find them registered with the port police. This would also give you their birthdate and where they were form. Then you go to the parish/town where they were from and look at those records. This is if you are wanting to find them backwards in time. The records are not all that difficult and you only need to be able to recognize a few words by sight.

I am checking on Anders Emil Andersson who emigrated to Australia on the ship Charles Dickens in 1879. He is aged 31. He may have died March 1919 in Australia.
It is a long shot, but I am hoping I can find a relationship with a sister, Sarah Helena Andersson who also emigrated on this ship.

kimmills135 — 2011-04-14 00:13:51Z

I'd love to hear from anyone who might be related to the family of Johan Alfred Anderson (b. 17 Feb 1852 Torsby, Gothenburg, d. 21 Jan 1909 Lundby, Gothenburg) wife Anna Olivia Mort (b. 14 Jan 1855 Lycke, Gothenburg, d. 17 Sep 1939, Lundby, Gothenburg).

Their children were:
Ida Charlotta (b.8 Sep 1876, Lundby, d.28 Sep 1941, Lundby) married Adolf Bernhard Bengtsson (b. 1868, d. 30 Dec 1930)

Ailda Lovisa (b. 9 Nov 1879, Lundby, d. 28 Dec 1881 Lundby)

Alma Lovisa (b. 1882, Lundby)

Algot Birger (31 Jan 1885, Lundby, d. 30 Nov 1950, Lundby) married Ida Ottilia Olsson (b. 6 Feb 1889, Lundby, d. 30 Aug 1958, Bramaregardens)

Alice Alfrida (b. 23 Aug 1887, Lundby, d. 28 Jun 1966, Bramaregardens) married Fritz Ragnar Wennerström (b. 24 Dec 1888, d. 19 Dec 1975, Backa)

Karl Oskar (b. 1 Dec 1890, Lundby, d. 26 Sep 1921, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada) married Alma "Emma" Robichaud (b. 25 Oct 1898, Chatham, New Brunswick, d. 7 Feb 1994)

I descend from Karl Oscar who as far as I know was the only family member of that generation to leave Sweden. He went by Joseph Oscar Anderson and some times Oscar Carl Anderson, in Canada.

Re: Axel Andersson

Do you have the names of the seven children. I'm helping a member of the genealogy society that I belong to. One of his Aunts was and Andersson from Uddevalla. She was born depending on the immigrations records and census reports between 1890 and 1895. She also immigrated to Brooklyn, New York in 1904. The first name we have may not be the correct name but it appears to be Hertta Andersson. She was known as Hattie. Thanks for the assistance in advance.

Search for descendants of Lars Johan Andersson and Anna Kristina Petersdotter.

smiew — 2010-11-06 16:49:31Z

I am searching for descendants of my husbands Great Great Great Grandparents. Lars Johan Andersson and Anna Kristina Petersdotter had 4 children (boys) who immigrated to America. Anders Werner Larsson (my husbands Great Great Grandfather) immigrated in 1871, and changed his name to Andrew Warner. Anders' brothers, Per Johan Larsson, Lars Walfrid Larsson, and Gustaf Bernhard Larsson also immigrated to America.

Per Johan Larsson, b 6 Oct 1847 in Kalleregard, Herrestad, Ostergotland, Sweden, immigrated to North America in June 1870, arriving in December 1870, bound for Chicago. Per Johan returned to Sweden about 1876, got married and had a daughter, and left Sweden again for North America in May 1880, arriving in July 1880 in New York. According to passenger listings, Per Johan was a carpenter.

Lars Walfrid Larsson, b 22 Aug 1853 in Lundby, Herrestad, Ostergotland, Sweden, immigrated to North America in April 1873, arriving in May 1873. Lars Walfrid returned to Sweden about 1876 or 1877. I believe that Per and Lars returned to help their younger brother come to America. Lars Walfrid left Sweden again for North America in March 1880, arriving in June 1880 with destination of Minneapolis.

Gustaf Bernhard Larsson, b 19 Apr 1856 in Lundby, Herrestad, Ostergotland, Sweden, immigrated to North America in March 1880, the same time as Lars Walfrid, arriving in June 1880 with destination of Minneapolis.

Their Mother, Anna Kristina Petersdotter (may also be Larsson, Andersson or Peterson), immigrated to North America in April 1890 after her husband passed away. I believe she arrived in New York in June 1890 under the name of Anna Peterson with a destination of Chicago.

The story is that the three Larsson brothers (Per, Anders, and Lars) came to America, possibly starting out in Chicago (this is where Anders, AKA Andrew Warner, got married in 1879). The boys decided there were too many Larssons in the area, so two of them changed their last names, one of them to Warner (my husbands GG Grandfather), and the other possibly to Torgerson or Torgelson (after 4 generations the spelling is a guess on our part). Supposedly one of the brothers kept the name Larson or Larsson. Or so the story goes.

My husband has traced his family back to 1735 in Sweden, but has had no luck finding Andrew's siblings or their descendants here in America. If anyone has information on the descendants of Per Johan, Lars Walfrid, and Gustaf Bernhard we would greatly appreciate the help.

Bit of a problem locating my grandmother's records

dormammu — 2010-06-26 00:13:19Z

In general, my family doesn't know anything about their ancestors. So, I decided to research it on my own and have run into the following problem:

My grandmother's death certificate (which I was able to locate) is listed under Violet Faith. The problem is, that wasn't actually her legal name. She decided she didn't like her birth name and just started using Violet without ever legally changing it. My mother thinks (but is not positive) that her legal name may have been "Magnahild" or something close to that. My grandmother's maiden name, I know, was Andersson.

Aside from the death certificate, I can't find a thing. It's possible my grandmother lived in North Carolina at one point, but NC records aren't yielding anything either. From the early 40's on, though, she lived in New York state. (Mainly Long Island and Athens.)

I can't find a thing on her except her death certificate. Aside from the death certificate, any Violet Faith matches (particularly one in Georgia) I've found aren't her. "Magnahilde Andersson" doesn't turn anything up either. I've tried variations on the name as well (Magnahild, for instance) with no luck. Anybody have any ideas how I can proceed here? Or am I out of luck?

Emil Andersson/Sweden/Scotland/Canada Farm?

claysjules — 2010-02-14 13:36:39Z

I am trying to find info on Emil Andersson,he was born in Sweden in 1881,(23/10/1881 ?), one of 7 children of Johan Erik Andersson and wife Charlotta, married Mary Isabella Norden in Scotland in 1910, had 2 daughters there in 1912 & 1915 and I think had a farm after that in Canada, possibly with his brother Ernst. Full name was Emil Samuel Andersson. He may have been in New York or Canada before going to Scotland so pre 1910, firstly. I'd really like to find out the farm name in Canada as we have lost track of him after Scotland

Andersson Thilda

erikssonnilsson — 2009-04-25 20:07:39Z

Thilda Andersson was born July 7th 1864 in Balingslöv, Stoby, Östra Göinge, Kristianstads parish, Sweden by a single mother named Anna Kajsa Isaksdaughter and she was born Oct 9 1829 in Tutaryd, Kronobergs parish, Sweden.

Anna Kajsa moved away from home when she was 19 for to work as a help in the farm´s.

When she was 35 year´s old, she got Thilda but there is no father recorded.

Anna Kajsa died when Thilda was 20 year´s of age, and she moved for to work at the farm´s too.

In July 1889, she emigrated to North America, and I just wonder if someone can identify her and tell me what happened to her after she emigrated.

Thilda is a relative to me on my mother´s side.

Thank´s a lot!

Renewing my search for Inga Casja Svensdotter, married Axel Hilmer Andersson, b. 1 Apr. 1859 in Resterod, Sweden and died Goteborg 18 Feb 1896. Inga Cajsa brought 3 children to America on May 2, 1905 after 2 sons had emigrated earlier. We only know they left Sweden for America - have no other details of their journey.

Children of Inga Casja & Axel Hilmer are:
Carl Hjalmar Andersson b. Goteborg 16 Apr 1884, emigrated 10/04/1900;
Gustaf Fredrick Andersson, b. Goteborg 18 Jul 1886, emigrated 02/06/1902;
Ester Judit Axelina Andersson, b. Goteborg 15 Jul 1889, emigrated 02/05/1905;
Axel Valdemar Andersson, b. Goteborg 11 Mar 1892, emigrated 02/05/1905;
Helmy Ingegerd Andersson, b. Goteborg 12 Jul 1894, emigrated 02/05/1905,

We cannot locate in Ellis Island records so we assume they arrived elsewhere. If anyone has information on this family or where we can locate decendants please, please respond.

Jerry,

Leo Wennerstrom lived next door to my family in Alexandria, Louisiana in the 1950's. His wife was Hazel and his daughter Donna Kay was a little younger than I was. I remember sitting with them on the porch and Leo telling about how his grandfather came over on the Titanic and survived. I never was sure but that he was pulling my leg until years later when my son brought home a book about the Titanic with narrative of August's account on the ship.

When I married in the late 60's my husband and I visited Leo and Hazel in Fort Worth. Donna Kay might have been married by then. Hazel and Leo later visited my mother's beauty shop in North Louisiana. I never heard from them after that. But I treasure the stories Leo told.

August Andersson, SWEDEN>USA 1912

I am still waiting for information on my Greatgrandfather and any family he may have had. He Departed from Malmo Sweden on the Titanic in April 1912. He was fleeing over political issues. He wrote for a paper called the Gula Faran and got into some trouble over some political issues. I am not sure if he had any brothers or sisters, just that his mothers name was Elna (Mansdotter) Andersson and his father was Knut Andersson.

Anders Andersson (born 30/8/1867 in Skane)

Shelley,

How wonderful to hear from you. I remember that Hazel had some daughters from her first married. In fact, I remember that she had one or two grandsons who visited her from Texas, I think, when she lived next door to us.

Donna was a few years younger that me, but I remember that she had reddish hair. Not long after my husband and I married, we were living in Dallas(abt. 1969). We drove over to Fort Worth to visit Hazel and Leo. Several years later they stopped by to visit my mother in her beauty shop in North Louisiana. Mother said that Hazel was still Hazel. They were really nice people.

The Titanic story was a fascinating one. I keep telling myself that I actually heard some stories about it from the son of an actual survivor.

My son lives in Decatur, GA not too far from Donna. It is a small world.

It was really nice to hear from you.
