I am hoping you can help narrow down or maybe redirect my search on my family history. To date I have the following:
Index of Emigrants Örebro County: (
http://194.103.205.88/stadsarkiv/emigrant_immigrant_eng.htm)
Johan Eklund, born 1823 June 19 in Lindesberg
wife: Maria Elisabeth Boström, born 1828 Jan. 6 in Fellingsbro
son: Carl Johan, born 1860 Mar. 23 in Fellingsbro
son: Gustav, born 1863 June 9 in Fellingsbro
Would the following be the same Johan mentioned above?
Births: LINDESBERG, OREBRO, SWEDEN (
http://iigs.rootsweb.com/lindesberg/)
Date: 12 JUN 1823 Name: JOHAN Place: FORNABODA
Parents: Johan EKLUND and Stina NILSDOTTER (33)
Would this be the same Johan and Stina as above?
Marriages: LINDESBERG, OREBRO, SWEDEN
Date: 2 JUN 1816 Husband: Johan EKLUND b. Wife: Cathrina NILSDOTTER b.
I am also hoping to tie in a cousin of Gustav because obviously his father would be a brother to this Johan and obviously this Johan and Stina would be grand parents?
Name: Abel Eklund from Rockhammar or Finnåker (do not know if he was born in these places)
Wife: Hilma Lindroth
Children: Elsa, Hanna, Ada and Edit
In 1907 he lived in: Hofors bruk No. 47, Hofors
In a letter to his cousin Gustav he mentions:
his dad: 78 years old when he died in 1899 and
his mother: 81 years old when when died April 07, 1907
Also his brothers:
Gustav in Rockhammar,
Johan in Rockhammar,
Hjalmarisin in Karmansbo and
Albert and Carl (two brothers that left for America in 1877)
I tried to send an email to the following address but it came back: delivery has failed
gunnar.lindroth@telia.com
Has this email address changed? or is there another I can try?
Any information you can find will be of great help.
Thank you, Gary
