Jöns Person Ekström, Svensköp, Skane, f. 1845

[Stephanie Johnson]

I am looking for information on the following family...
 
Jön Per or Person Ekstöm, f. 12 Dec 1845 i Svensköp Socken, Christianstads, Skäne
Kjersti (his wife, don't know surname), f. 30 March 1857 i Djurröd, Skäne
Sonen Nils Alfred, f. 22 Nov 1878 i Djurröd, Skäne
Sonen Ernst Wilhelm, f. 16 March 1880 i Djurrös, Skäne
 
They appear to have emigrated in 1880-1881 to Amerika, probably Minneapolis, Minnesota.
 
I would appreciate any help.
 
Regards,
Stephanie

There is a Svensköp parish in Hörby kommun, Skåne län, formerly Malmöhus län.  There is also a Djurröd parish in Kristianstads kommun, Skåne län, formerly Kristianstads Län.  I think these may be the two parishes you are searching for.  They are about 15 km from each other.
 
Unfortunately I could not find any online databases for these parishes so you could either order films through your nearest LDS FHC or SVAR, or you could make a posting on this web site under  Landskap>Skåne or Discussions in English.
 
Cheers, Chris

Hej Chris,
 
Tack for the information.  My information came from a church record, and I have found other inaccuracies.  These 2 parishes do seem to be the right ones.
 
Regards,
Stephanie
