Notes

The birth record mentioned by Richard can be found at https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/90000271_00041 (#107). The father is listed as seminarieelev, meaning he was studying to become a schoolteacher, and in the following records he is listed as being one. They lived in Augustberg nr 28 until 1926 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/90000187_00202), at which time they moved to Sven Olof's grandfather in Lönneberga parish (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/80005898_00165,

https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/80005900_00190). Between 1930 and 1933 they lived in Sjödal (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/80005900_00068), and from then in the Silverdalen school house in Råsa (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/80005901_00066), both still in Lönneberga parish. In 1942 Sven Olof moved to Linköping for military service in the 3rd company of the I4 infantry regiment (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/90000480_00022,

https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/90000493_00018); he is listed as staying there until 1947. The next record is too recent to have been digitalized yet, but his marriage record from the same year is available at https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/90000633_00183 (#310).
