Hi
I am mostly interested in the parents Hans Olof & Andriette.  Most of all I want to trace their parents and siblings.
I understand there is German blood but no idea where.
I have most of Gustav's siblings.  However there is one missinig. I've found Per (pelle) Anna Esther Olivia Hilda Oskar Sigrid Lilies and her twin Gertrude.  There is one more.  I know he had a sister Vivan because my aunt was named after her.  Although I am sure that Olivia was known as Vivan.  So there is one more!  He had 10 siblings.
Also there are cousins but I'm not sure who they are decended from.
I've always been interested in the family . It's just that once I started putting it all together there are so many more questions.

Hi
Not easy locating Gustaf's parents. Hans Olof is nowhere to be found..... for the time being.

Anyway I have located Andriette Fredrika. She did not have an easy start in life. She was born 11 March 1853 in Söderhamn and christened 16 March. Her parents were seaman Anders Erik Nordlund born 1 Aug 1824 in Söderhamn. He died of cholera in Hamburg 20 Aug 1853 and her mother was Anna Fredrika Högstedt born 27 April 1831 in Bollnäs Parish.
She remarried 5 Aug 1855 to a Johan Frans Widlund. Andriette Fredrika was then given up for adoption shortly afterwards and was raised by Per Gustaf Norbäck and Christina Tönder. Andriette Fredrika was an only child.

Hi
This is really something I can relate to.
It explains the children being named Per and Anna.  I guess Gustav may have been named after Hans Olof relatives.  He certainly is a mystery.  I found the marriage  record (30.11.1873) l found that his dob 4.7.1853 but no proof and nothing at all for dod.
He was an organist in the church.  Gustav was training to be a priest .  When his siblings got TB he went away to sea.
This is a real breakthroughard

Thanks

Julia

Who was an organist?
Hans Olof was a merchant and died 16 April 1890.

Added: He could also have been an organist too.

Yes he was an organist at the church.  His music was published.

Hi
At last I have located Hans Olof. He was born 11 July 1853 in Norrbo Parish not Norrala Parish as all the records state.

His father was school teacher Olof Nordblad born 6 Sept 1810 in Norrbo Parish and died 22 April 1855 in Norrbo Parish.
His mother was Catherina Hansdotter born 7 Nov 1819 in Norrbo Parish.

He had 1 sibling: Olivia Cathrina born 30 July 1855 in Norrbo Parish.

You may have this but it is one of his music books that can read online. I don't know if he wrote it or just owned it:
