Jakobsson-724 - Cant find sources.

Question

Jakobsson-724

Riksarkivet:

Fam. nr 1Jakobsson, Erik, f. 1867 i Ramsele Västernorrlands län, Hemmansägare

Hedlund Tjellén, Brita Johanna, f. 1863 i Långsele Västernorrlands län

Tjellén, Anna Elina, f. 1887 i Långsele Västernorrlands län

Tjellén, Ester Elisabet, f. 1893 i Långsele Västernorrlands län

Brita Erika Emilia, f. 1897 i Långsele Västernorrlands län

Elise Katarina Jakobina, f. 1899 i Långsele Västernorrlands län

Erik Johan, f. 1901 i Långsele Västernorrlands län

Hanna Kristina Efrida, f. 1905 i Långsele Västernorrlands län

If I understood it correctly, my ancestors mum remarried and changed names. And some children are half siblings to my ancestor.

When I search for her grandparents, I don’t get so many clear results.

So someone who is less beginner than me, maybe has some clue to how I should add her parents correctly and also her grandparents!

Answer 1

Welcome to the magical world of researching in Sweden. It is a easy country to research when you get the hang of it. Until that happens it can be quite confusing. I updated the profile of Elise Katarina Jakobina Westberg with her birth record, in the source section there is a link to Riksarkivet (the main resource for searching in Sweden). Birth record I updated her death, that source is not available yet because she died after 1950. And the third thing I added was the "Husförhörslängd" when she was born. Församlingsbok/husförhörslängd Långsele 1898-1912 "Husförhörslängd" is not a census, instead they are updated when something happened in the family, new children were born, someone died, the family moved away. Her family did move away in 1899 to page 352 thats why they are crossed out.
Elise Katarina Jakobinas mother was married before and became widow 18 Feb 1896 and Johanna Margreta, Anna Elina, Beda Matilda, Ernst Edvin, Ester Elisabet are children from her first marriage. The 29 June 1897 she married Erik Jakobsson and in this picture they have two children together Brita Erika Emilia and Elise Katarina Jakobina. A lot of profiles to make but an excellent way to improve the CC7. If you want to follow them backwards in time the note "GB s. 60" tells you that in the previous "husförhörslängd" you can find them at page 60. This "husförhörslängd" is between the year 1898-1912 and the one before is covering the year 1888-1897: Husförhörslängd Långsele 1888-1897
The birth records you find in Födelse- och Dopböcker
The marriage records you find in Lysnings- och vigselböcker
The death records you find in Död- och begravningsböcker
Try to find her siblings birth records and her parents marriage record. They should be in Långsele parish. Her mothers birth record should also be found in Långsele parish. But her father is told to be born in Ramsele parish instead of Långsele so dont look for him in Långsele.

Here you can find all the books from Långsele parish Långsele parish
Here you can find all the books from Ramsele parish Ramsele parish

My best wishes! <3

I obviously need a ‘researching in Sweden’ course.

Thank you a lot. I improved the CC7 a lot with this new information.

And I added her siblings.

They truly have many children in Sweden.

I can help you learn to research in Sweden. And yes in this part of Sweden and in this period of time the family had a lot of children. I have an ancestor that had 23 children, a lot of DNA traces from him. :-)

23 ?!?! That’s a lot of children! How did they even find a big enough house!

I realised today that Riksarkivet is possible to open with my laptop (way too slow with my phone). Still a lot to learn.

Thank you for all support!

Here's a household record for Brita Johanna Hedlund and family:

Her Father was Johan Hedlund and mother was Greta Lisa Nastund. This record gives all the birth dates. 

Her birth record is here:

When I try to add her parents, I just get that I should wait for you to complete them ?

Thank you for completing them.
