This new information led me right to the Swedish Church Records at Ancestry.com and this entry that has eluded me for months and months. #53, second from the bottom. Now to decipher the names of his parents.
But in moments, I've jumped miles ahead in my research of this stubborn brickwall Great Grandpa.
Big thanks to Cheryl and her translators for all their help with this document. I can not say thank you enough.
Hi Jennie, I was so glad I was able to help you, it took a bit, but we got somewhere! The real thanks needs to go to Yvonne Henricksson from Sweden Roots Genealogy for you at http://www.swedenroots.se/about/my_photo_album.html Thank you to Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteYou're right Cheryl. I've sent Yvonne a hugely heartfelt thank you.
