For Ray Bergman (re 29 March 2006 inquiry)
Lisa Jonasdotter was the sister of my grandfather Anders Backman (born Jonasson in Färnebo 20 Dec 1862). Her parents were Jonas Jonsson (born in Lungsund 20 Feb 1827) and Maria Andersdotter (born in Lungsund 10 Dec 1828). Jonas Jonsson changed the family name to Backman in 1874. Children include:
Lisa Jonasdotter, born 17 April 1853, Färnebo
Johan Backman, born 15 Feb 1856, Färnebo
Maria Backman, born 9 Dec 1859, Färnebo
Anders Backman, born 20 Dec 1862, Färnebo
Gustaf Backman, born 6 April 1867, Filipstad
Emil Backman, born 11 April 1871, Brattfors
Karl Backman, born 4 Sept 1874, Filipstad
The 1871-1875 husförhör for Filipstad shows Jonas and Maria living in Pilgrensbacken. (I have pictures of the house.) All of the children save Maria are shown as living with the parents. The entry for Lisa indicates banns (lysning) with Nils Johan Brattlöf on 13 April 1874. Lisa moved away on 30 November 1874. The date of the marriage to Nils Johan Brattlöf was 24 May 1874.
I have additional information about the descendants of Anders Backman and Karl Backman and about the ancestors of Jonas Jonsson and Maria Andersdotter.
