In Reply to: Re: Searching by Rob Fisk of 1919

Fisk is a surname. Most Swedes didn't use one in the old days but this family did. Johansson is a patronymic name meaning Johan's son. (It could also mean Johannes' son.) It was made with the father's given name **plus a possessive s** and then son for male children and dotter for female children.

Johansson and Johanson are the same name but usually the second s was dropped after emigration. Sometimes the second s might have been accidentally left out in Swedish records. The order of the names (Johansson Fisk or Fisk Johansson) means nothing and is not a "name switch". Yes, those people I listed are all yours.

Messages written about Swedes in Sweden should also be posted on the Sweden forum. (Make sure you provide DETAILS about dates and locations.) Type Sweden into the "Jump to Forum" space at the top right of this page.
