Sven Nilsson Lof

[Mark Zajac]

I am looking for any information on Sven Nilsson.  I believe he go the surname Lof after being in the military.  He was born in Horeda, Jonkoping Sweden in April 1797 and was married to Anna Nilsdotter in 1820.  He died around 1830.  Is there any information about who his parents and family was?

Hello Mark,
 
I couldn't find any Sven Nilsson born in April 1797 in Höreda. Neither is he listed in the Central Soldiers Register. Do you have more information?

Hi Mark,
 
Here is some information I found on Genline:
Sven Nilsson Löf was born on May 3, 1796 in Höreda parish, Jönköping.
His parents were: Nils Petersson and Catharina Andersdotter.
 
Sven Löf married Anna Catharina Andersdotter born Aug 30, 1799 in Malmbäck parish, Jönköping.
They were married on Nov 6, 1819 in Höreda parish, Jönköping.
 
On the (Census) HFL 1816-1823, for Brostugan, Höreda they have one daughter listed, her name was Carolina born Nov 25, 1820 in Höreda Parish.
 
Hope this info will help.
 
Have a nice day!

I actually have one problem.  I have a record that Sven married Anna Cathrina Nilsdotter, NOT Andersdotter.  I was wondering which it really is?  Thanks.

Hi again Mark,
 
I'm looking at their marriage record as I write, it clearly shows Anna Cathrina's last name as Andersdotter. I'd be happy to look into this problem if you give me the info about the record you have that says that her name was Nilsdotter.
 
I have some time today to look at this, so if you get back to me shortly I will see if I can come up with something.

Mark,
I forgot to tell you that the image looks just as it does in the Genline Church records, whoever scanned in the record must of had a bad day, but I'm sure it was not done by the people at Genline.

Thank you VERY much Don.  The info i had was from Family history website of the latter day saints, but they do have a tendency of being inaccurate.  But, I do have a small image from Genline that someone sent to me with Sven and Anna from the 1826 census or so, with their daughter Cathrina, son Carl Anders (my greatgreatgreat grandfather) and son Nils Joahn.  This record says that Sven was born in Horeda in April 1797 and Anna in 1794 in Malmback.  It is all possible that this image is decieving because of its small size, but it does create some confusion.  Now I'm nort sure if this is the right Sven and Anna.
Thanks,
