Hello
According to the book Mo härads kompani Petter Pettersson Brun was approved as a soldier Nov 26, 1826 for No 113 Flahult in the parish of Kävsjö.  As a soldier he worked at the coast guard in Halland 1831 and 1832 and was dismissed 1834.  Was the approved as a soldier for No 128 Göshult in the parish of Åsenhöga Oct 20, 1836, had a working command 1840 (when they build) the Canal of Trollhättan, in the province of Skåne 1849, in Schleswig (now in Germany, I can not understand why they send him to that place outside Sweden) 1850, at the fortress of Skansen Kronan (still exist) in Göteborg 1858.  Dismissed cause he was sick (according to a doctor's certificate) June 21, 1859.

Thank you so much Birgitta and Jan Åke for the information about Petter Pettersson Brun family.  I've been locating living ancestors of this family in the United States and trying to acquire information about their individual families to share with others in the U.S. and in Sweden.
 
Tack för hjälpa mig.
Hälsningar.

Would appreciate someone looking in the parish records at Åsenhöga for the family of Carl August Oliv, born October 2, 1856 in Göshults, Åsenhöga, and wife Ida Beata born February 12, 1859.
 
They were married in about 1880, and had 9 children: Axia, born October 27, 1882, Alfrida, born January 11, 1884, Oskar born September 18, 1886, Ellen Augusta born August 25, 1889, Gunnar born January 5, 1892, Per J. J. born December 29, 1894, Ernst born July 3, 1897, Eric born November 3, 1900 and Valfrid born June 14, 1903.
 
Ellen Augusta Oliv was my grandmother who immigrated to the U.S. in 1907.
 
Am particulary interested in learning where wife Ida Beata, possibly named Hejel, was born and what her patronymic name was.  I have no information about her family and am interested in knowing about her. Also, would like confirmation of birth names of the children.

Hi Beth !
 
Is it an inquiry about anyone in Boone, Iowa, too?

[Jan Åke Sandberg]

Beth, I'm sorry I have not access to any parish records but this is what I found out looking in some books:
In Mo härads kompani page 176 I found Carl August Pettersson Olif, born Oct 2, 1856 in Åsenhöga, 6 feet, was approved as a soldier for 44 Tunabo in the parish of Stengårdshult May 11, 1875, vice corporal 1888, commanded in (the naval city of) Karlskrona 1876 and at the fortress of Karlsborg (Lake Vättern) 1877, dismissed Dec 27, 1905.
In Stengårdshults socken förr och nu (= the parish of Stengårdshult now and before) from 1985, page 177, that Carl August Pettersson Oliv was a soldier for no 44 but he doesn't lived at the croft, he was a farmer and later a crofter in Åsenhöga.
In Åsenhöga - från forntid till nutid (=Åsnehöga, from old times until today) from 1980 you will found Carl August Oliv at page 147.  He took over the farm Hestra 1:4 in Åsenhöga 1880 from his father-in-law Carl Heijel.  He sold the farm 1907 but it is still owned by descendants (1980)
About Carl Heijel (sam page) is said the he was known as a skilled blacksmith.  He had his own blacksmith's shop at Gunnilstorp (page 142) and made axes, knives, scythes.  He did all the blacksmith work when they build the church in Åsenhöga.  Her marked all his work with CH and (the book says) that you still can find tools in the area with that mark.  Carl Heijel is said to be from the parish of nearby situated Källeryd.
In Källeryds Torp-rote from 1996 you found him on page 73.  His father Petter Svensson Heijel was a horseman for No 112 Hanabo in Källeryd according to the book he married around 1808 Brita Svensdotter who said was born in the parish of Kävsjö Sep 1, 1786 and she died April 13, 1860.-  Petter Heijel was born Jan 27, 1780 and died around 1841.  He was dismissed as a horseman around 1830 but they continue to live in Hanabo.  They were very poor and sold all their belongings 1827.  In 1830 he was accused for arson and shooting, he want to injure someone but as the records says nothing seriously happened (I have no acces to the court records).  He was warned and ordered to be sober and behave like a Christian in the future.  He was too a skilled blacksmith.
They had 10 children, 3 of them died as infants.  The fifth child was Carl, born June 8, 1817.  Carl's oldest brother (and the parents first child) Svening born Oct 9, 1809 was a horseman after his father, he died Jan 26, 1857
 
Carl Heijel moved to Hestra in Åsenhöga and married Maria Christina Johannesdotter who was born in Åsenhöga (don't know when).  His sister Catharina (born Aug 14, 1825) moved to her brother 1858 who then lived at Granstorp in Åsenhöga (he is not mentioned in the book about Åsenhöga at Granstorp).
 
That is all.  Hope somebody with acces to the parish records will answer you too

Beth!  Hello again
Petter Heijels wife Britta Svensdotter was, according to Kävsjöboken (The book about Kävsjö) from 1983, page 190, born at the croft Krogen under Hillerstorp Hagegård in Kävsjö Sep 1, 1786 and she was daughter of the crofter Sven Månsson, born Oct 23, 1753, and his wife Märta Jonasdotter, born Sep 12, 1758.  Their oldest child was a boy, Johannes, and then they had six daughters, Britta was the third.  They lived at the croft Krogen 1779 - 1830.  Nothing is said when they died but I presume that Sven died around 1830.  After he has died the widow moved to a cottage in Föreborg (Kävsjö I guess).  Both Britta and her mother are described as sickly.

Hello again, Jan Åke,
 
Do you know if the church in Åsenhöga is still in existence?  I would like to write someone at the church to see if I can get a photo of the church.

[Ulla-Britt Liw]

Beth,
According to an encyklopedia Åsenhöga church is a stone-church build 1856-1857.  The earlier church from 1737, build of wood, was then torned down.  Unfortunately I have no photo of the church.

[Malena Månsson]

Hej!
Jag undrar om någon kan hjälpa mig med en ort som jag inte kan hitta. Wallshult eller Wollshult. Jag kunde inte tolka det perfekt. Är det någon som känner till var denna orten ligger.
 
Jag undrar också om någon vet var jag kan få tag på boken om Åsenhöga Från Forntid till nutid.
 
Malena Månsson

[Gunvor Carlsson]

Hejsan Malena
Du söker efter Valdshult, stavades på flera olika sätt förr bl a Wallshult. Det är en socken norr om Åsenhöga. Har bara 120 invånare nu, men har varit större på 1800-talet. Jag bor där och har dokumenterat alla som bott där sen slutet av 1700 ung. Om det är något du vill veta om socknen kan du gå in och skriva din fråga under Valdshult.

Åldern tycks ju stämma något så när, men initialerna .
Kanske ett framkomligt spår?

[Bo Berndtsson]

Kan Vilibo avse den samlade bebyggelse i Åsenhöga som idag kallas Velebo?

[Margareta Thorsson]

Vilibo=Velebo Åsenhöga låter troligt tack för det.Kvar att klura ut om någon har hört talas om Gustaf som spelade för kungen Var? Gustafs son som under några år var lärare i Seglora men flyttade tillbaka till Åsenhöga.Jag jobbar vidare och tacksam för alla tips.Skall kolla med min amerikanske vän om det fanns flera Gustafsson i Bone.

Hej Jan Åke,
 
    I wonder if you know if a Magnus Andersson Klint was mentioned in the book Mo härads kompani.  He was born in Åsenhöga November 15, 1806.  He married Ingrid Svensdotter of Valdshut December 31, 1830.
