Hi Johan,
Thanks again for all your help. One last question though, do you know or where to find that explains the Swedish use of surnames in that period. I know [think] that they use the accepted method of wife taking the husbands surname and children using that, but it seems to me in the late 1800's the children were named either the father's firstname son or firstnames daughter. I do remember my grandfather saying his father changed his name from 'Johanson' to 'Almquist'because Johanson was common etc.,
Again thanks!!
Tom
