help pls with swedish record translation

[paul5534]

Just need these few words translated.  Does it mean suicide by drowning?

[jamcat95]

Yes it does.

"Själfmord genom dränkning."

Suicide by drowning.

Hi Ian:

Wow.  And she was 65 years old.

Can you help me try to find a birth record (or any pre-1830 record) for Nils (Magnus) Jonsson?  All the records I see of him state his birth year was 1806, but no day or month.  He married Anna (Lisa) Persdotter on 24 March 1832 in Kråksmåla, Kalmar.

Here is a link of Nils, Anna, and their first 2 children from 1836.  Could the widow Anna be his mother?

He and Anna had 5 children I could find....Lisa Maria, Johan Magnus, Jonas Peter (#1...died), Jonas Peter (#2) who is my 2nd great grandfather, and Helena.


I find him and his family in Kråskmåla for many years.  Here is a link for 1843-

Maybe you can translate some of the notes on the right.  Is Ida Gustafva born 1850 his goddaughter?


He died 4 Aug 1866 of drowning (I think).  From the calculated age at death, he may have been born 22 September 1806....but not sure where. I could not find his birth record in Kråksmåla.

That's about all I know.  If you can help me figure out where he was born and who his parents were (if he was born legitimately), I would so appreciate it.

Thanks,  Paul
