    Notes:

    Hans Nilsson appears to have emigrated from Sweden using the name “Hans Anderberg”. He is listed under this name in [US-1880-1s] and [MN-1885b]. By 1895, Hans is using the surname “Lindell”, the name adopted by his father and siblings. He was referred to as “Hans N Lindell” for the remainder of his life.

    [US-1900-1i] has immigration year as 1870, and [US-1920-1m] has 1871. These more closely agree with [Gothenburg-2006a] which has Hans embarking from Copenhagen on 4 May 1871 in route to “St. Paul” (presumably Minnesota). This indicates that Hans Nilsson preceded his family to the United States, perhaps to determine the viability of the rest of the family emigrating in 1872.

    Traveling under the name ‘Hans Anderberg’, Hans Nilsson embarked from Glasgow, Scotland on or about 10 May 1871 aboard the ship Nova Scotian. Quebec, Province of Quebec, Canada was his port of entry though, obviously, not his final destination.

    In [MN-1895b] Hans Nilsson’s (a.k.a. Hans Lindell) surname is listed as “Lindal”.

    • Census: 7 Jan 1920, Darwin Township, Meeker County, Minnesota, United States

    Notes:

    “Slogberget, Hellsjö Kommun, Kopparbergs län” is the historic name for the community in which Johan Axel Jansson lived. The modern location is “Slogberg” or “Ov Slogberg”, near the village of “Hällsjön”, in “Dalarnas län” (the modern name of the province). It sould also be noted that the birth record *DOES NOT* state that Johan Axel was born in Slogberget. Rather, it states that a son, “Johan Axel,” was born to a Jan Eric Jansson and Johanna Carlsdotter, “...of Slogberget”. The use of Slogberget is a deduction based on the available evidence.

    The information from [Johnson, 1952] and that Johan Axel Jansson was born in Smedjebacken, Kopparbergs län, Sweden is not correct. The birth date is though, is now verified through two independent sources.

    13 May 1887 is the date that Johan Axel Jansson left Norrbärke Parish with his family on their way to North America, not the day that he emigrated from Sweden.

    [US-1900-2j] notes that Johanna Wilhelmina Jansdotter had 9 children of which 8 were living in 1900. This indicates that at least two of the known children, probably John and Jack were the same individual.

    Notes:

    Nils Olsson, like the rest of his family, took the name “Lindell” sometime around their emigration in 1872. Minnesota State Census records for Meeker County, as well as his gravesite, list his name as “N O Lindell”. The Birth and Death Record for Meeker County has him listed under “Nels Olson”. This database uses the name “Nils Olsson” because this is how he is listed in Swedish birth records for himself and all of his children.

    “Asum, Kristianstads län,” is a historical name for the area centered on the modern village of Asumtorp (might also be Norra Asum, another village within a mile) in the modern province of Skåne län.

    In 1900, Nils Olsson (aka, Nels O Lindell) lists himself as widowed and is living with his son Ola despite the fact that the best available information has his wife’s death in 1902.

    In 1875, Nils Olsson (listed under the name “N C Lindell”) and his wife are living alone in Swede Grove, Meeker County, Minnesota despite the fact that they still had unmarried children under the age of 25.

    • Census: 7 Jun 1880, Swede Grove, Meeker County, Minnesota, United States

    Notes:

    Ola Persson took the name “Ole Peter Ornberg” soon after or during his emigration from Sweden in 1870. He used the surname Ornberg for the remainder of his life.

    Ola Persson’s (Ole Peter Ornberg’s) gravestone does not actually list his birthdate which is inferred from an inscription that reads, “Aged: 61 ys’ 4 mo’s 5dy’s”, but that date, 3 December 1821, appears to be a year off.

    Even though there is a record of a “Hannah Ornberg” who died in 1894 and who was probably Ole’s wife, the Birth and Death Register of Meeker County lists Ole as being widowed at the time of his death as does [US-1880-2f].

    The ‘Household Examination’ from source [GID-1857a] appears to have been taken in 1857 with the entry for Hans Olson being added to the record in 1860.

    Ola Persson is recorded as having departed Tunby, Smedstorp Parish on 2 May 1870 on his way to the United States, accompanied by his six living children. However, it appears that either the dates in this record or in source [LaAC-1870a3] are incorrect, as they do not provide sufficient time for the family to travel to Quebec. It is possible that 2 May 1870 from [GID-1870a] is the date that Ola Persson intended to leave Sweden (and that he left earlier) or that 10 May 1870 [LaAC-1870a3] is the date that the ship North American departed Liverpool rather than the date it arrived in Quebec.

    Notes:

    “Slogberget, Hellsjö Kommun, Kopparbergs län” is the historic name for the community in which Jan Eric Jansson lived. The modern location is “Slogberg” or “Ov Slogberg”, near the village of “Hällsjön”, in “Dalarnas län” (the modern name of the province). It should also be noted that the birth record *DOES NOT* state that Jan Eric was born in Slogberget. Rather, it states that a son, “Jan Eric,” was born to a Jan Eric Persson and Stina Persdotter, “...of Slogberget”. The use of Slogberget is a deduction based on the available evidence.

    The information from [Lindell, 1982] that Jan Eric Jansson was born in Ramsberg, Örebro län, Sweden is not correct. The birth date is though, is now verified through two independent sources.

    Jan Eric Jansson’s gravesite lists his death at “1920”, and considering that the filing date of 14 Sep 1921is suspiciously close to the death date listed in Meeker County Death Record, Vol D, the 13 Sep 1921 may be incorrect.

    13 May 1887 is the date that Jan Eric Jansson left Norrbärke Parish on his way to North America, not the day that he emigrated from Sweden.

    Jan married Johanna Carlsdotter on 14 Sep 1858 in _______, _______, Sweden. Johanna was born in ? in _______, _______, Sweden; died on 29 May 1880 in Slogberget, Hellsjö Kommun, Kopparbergs län, Sweden. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  6. 13.  Johanna Carlsdotter was born in ? in _______, _______, Sweden; died on 29 May 1880 in Slogberget, Hellsjö Kommun, Kopparbergs län, Sweden.

    Notes:

    The information from [Lindell, 1982] listing Jan Eric Jansson’s 1st wife as “Margetha Carolina Jansson,” appears to be incorrect.

    Notes:

    The date of Jan Eric Jansson’s marriage to Johanna Carlsdotter is **VERY** hard to read in [Leksand-1992e]. LDS IGI has a date of 29 Oct 1858 for the marriage of Jan Erik Jannson to a “Johanna Carlsten” but given IGI’s penchant for notoriously bad transcriptions, a marriage record from Sweden should be sought.
