Ian:
Thanks so much!! You are amazing!! I'm off to work but will digest all this info tonight.
I spent probably a dozen hours a few months ago trying to trace another relative...Emma Gustava Swensdotter/Swensson. I think I figured out most of it. She ended up in Stockholm at Hedvig Eleonora (possibly twice) and Jakob before moving to the US in 1889.
She was born 24 Sep 1866 in Ölme, Värmland. She was born an illegitimate child. She lived in Ölme until 1885 when she went to Stockholm. Her mother was Britta Johansdotter born 11 Oct 1843 in Ölme. Her stepfather was Karl Fredrik Stolt. I believe her biological father was Sven Gustaf Petersson Sjögren born 26 Feb 1844 in Ölme. Emma married in the US in 1895.
If you have time, could you check on her around her birth? I don't have the links handy, but I can get them tonight. I want to be sure Sven Gustaf Peterson Sjögren is in fact her true biological father.
Thanks again!
Paul
