Some Swedish Information

In Reply to: Ake Eriksson/Erickson by Linda Jackson of 1214

This is where Åke Eriksson lived in Sweden. Note the spelling of "Ake" is Åke. Note that the birth years for both the wife/mother Sissa and the daughter Sissa are different from your information.

1890 Swedish Census CD:

Eriksson, Åke       1827       F
Svensd:r (Svensdotter), Sissa       1832       M
(Barn), Sissa       1856       Ch
(Barn), Bernt       1877       Ch

Children of Åke at that time probably used Åkesson (son of Åke) and Åkesdotter (daughter of Åke).

Maybe this is John.

Here is your Bengta, most likely. She was a piga = maid in this household. She used the more "modern" "son" ending instead of "dotter". (Patronymic customs were starting to change.)

Sven emigrated in 1888.

The husförhörslängd (HFL; household examination record; clerical survey record -- all names for the same record, which is similar in format to a census but is far more detailed and was updated continually instead of every ten years as a census is.) for Kyrkhult parish in the years 1886-1896 is online in its handwritten form on the fee-based Genline site.

http://www.genline.com (subscription only)

This is the specific Genline page.

GID # (Genline Identification Number) 1764.33.36400

The birthdate for the husband/father Åke Eriksson is listed as 27 January 1827 and his DEATH date is listed as 5 May 1892. There is nothing written saying that he emigrated.

The birthdate for the wife/mother Sissa Svensdotter is listed as 4 April 1832 and her death date is listed as 31 January 1891.

Ola's birthdate is listed as 10 March 1873 and he went to "Amerika" in 1890, certificate number 17.

Bernt's birthdate is listed as 14 April 1877. He was not listed with any other given name and these records are usually extremely detailed about that sort of thing. He went to another page in the parish (page 715) in 1892 but there is another comment which I can't completely read which has him going to America in 1892.

Everyone still listed in this household has been crossed out except for the daughter Sissa Åkesdotter, born 24 February 1856.

The others had all moved out before then. You can follow them in time (forwards and backwards) on Genline, in great detail, until the mid-1890s and Genline plans to eventually have the records online until 1937. I don't have time to do this for you.

I see two possibilities for Carl in 1900. One was married and one wasn't. You will have to do the research to check birthdates and follow each back to his parents.
