Research_name: Lars Hanson Thun
Birth_date: May 1801
Birth_place: Nystrada Parish, Uppsala, Sweden
Death_date: 28 April 1891
Death_place: Langtora, Uppsala, Sweden
Comments: I have found his death record date shown above, a marriage record to his second wife (my great grandmother) Gustava Charlotta Carlsdotter, 26 April 1868, Langtoraby, Uppsala, Sweden, the marriage to his first wife, Greta Lisa Andersdotter, 26 April 1823, Langtoraby, Uppsala, Sweden.
I can not find any record of his birth in 1801 or where he was from then until his marriage in 1823. I would like to know with whom and where he lived during those 22 years.
The family story of him is: Born out of wedlock, given up at birth as a ward of the state by his mother (possible mother name Sara Brita Mattsdotter born 1780 in Varfrukyrka, Sweden. Name Thun is his army name. Is Sara Brita Mattsdotter his mother, if not who is?
Was there a fathers name given?
My records with his first wife shows the name Hanson, but my family also has the name of Lundquist or Lindquist associated with him.

Research_name: Lars Thun
Birth_date: 18 May 1801
Birth_place: Nysatra, Upsala, Sweden
Death_date: 28 April 1891
Death_place: Longtora, Upsala, Sweden
Comments: He joined the Swedish Army at the age of about 20 years old and stayed until he retired from the army and then was the Parish Clerk of the Longtora Parish until his death. His second wife and two sons emigrated to the USA after his death. He had another wife, Greta Lisa Andresdotter who died after nearly 40 years of marriage and there were four children from this marriage who stayed in Sweden, I think, they were: Andres Thun, born 29 Sept 1825; Anna Stina Larssdotter, born 22 Sept 1829; Johan Thun, born 1 July 1833; Areta Casja Larssdotter, born 23 Sept 1836. I would like to find information on the children who stayed in Sweden and also any information I could find on his army service. He is listed in the census records as Dragon Lars Thun No.86. Thank You
