My question concerns the origin of the name Lofgren – is it a farm name?
I see the name first appear in my lineage with a Per (Pehr?) Nilsson Lofgren, son of Aldre Nils Svensson (and I believe “Aldre” is a title meaning Councilman). Per was born 17 Oct 1782, Nils was born about 1755, both of Annelov, Malmohus, Sweden.
