Genealogy
Our family tree
Botsmarksmor
The Swedish ancestors of Dave Johanson
Letters from Degerfors
Our family tree, mostly ancestors from the counties of Jämtland and Västerbotten, in the north of Sweden.
In 1993 I helped Canadian (Victoria)  Dave Johanson trace his Swedish ancestors. Dave's grandparents emigrated from Offerdal, Jämtland in 1904. Here you can see the result of my research. All information is in English.
The known descendants of "Botsmarksmor" Maria Andersdotter (1763-1833) from Botsmark, Sävar, Västerbotten. My relative Märta Wallmark has worked a long time to try to trace all descendants. I have helped her creating a database of all information. Here I publish the results. Please contact me if you have additional info about emigrated descendants.
For those of you with ancestors from Ekorrsele and Granö, Degerfors parish,Västerbotten, I also have other material of interest. I have the saved correspondence between my grandfather's parents and their friends, dating from 1896 to 1904. You get a good feeling for the everyday life of a small farmer by reading them. The letters are written by the following persons

Matilda Jonsson (Granö, Ekorrsele, married Eriksson 1880-1937)
Anna Jonsson (married Jakobsson f 1874)
Clara Jonsson (Granö, Näsland, g. Wiberg f 1869)
Jonas Jonsson (Granö, f 1877)
Jon Larsson (Mesele, Granö, f 1829)
Arvid Eriksson (Ekorrsele, 1873-1955)
Augusta Johansson (Knaften)
Elsebett i Mo (Norge)
Johanna Persson (Ekorrsele)
Maria Persson (Ekorrsele)
Mina Eriksson (Ekorrlund)
Nils Oskar Andersson
Nils Jakobsson (1872-1919)

All my genealogy pages, except from the ancestors of Dave Johanson,  are only avaliable in Swedish on this site, due to their size. I can however mail the info in GEDCOM format, with at least the basic information, such as birth dates, in English. The notes will be in Swedish.

Luleå 1808-1809 About the sufferings in Luleå parish, Norrbotten,  during the war between Sweden and Russia in 1808-1809. Detailed information about individual farmers and their contribution to the maintenance of both armies during Russian ockupation. So far only avaliable in Swedish, but you might yet find some information. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

From Stockholm to the suburb of Sundsvall. Take a look at our sweet little house, and you'll know why we moved!

All in all, we are happy and content people. To the right you can see our beloved parents, a couple of years decades ago.
