Re: Hellström - Swedish/South African link

Gavin,

I only have an oral history, explaining that a relative named Ferdinand Hellström went to South Africa as an English soldier.The birth dates of two of his siblings were 1874 and 1879.Ferdinand's father's name was Erik/Eric born Sept. 6, 1841 in Almby and grandfather's name was Johan August Hellström born April 13, 1803.

Ferdinand had four siblings, Emil, Albert, Linus.My relatives could not recall the name of the fourth sibling.

Good luck with your search!
