Hi
This is all there is to find. It could well be him:

Here is the family from around 1860-1870 or something. They are on the right hand side and is the second family down and almost illegible. Carl Leopold is listed as missing:

Here is Carl Leopold listed in the missing persons book. Half way down:

Here is an explanation for the missing persons books:

Am waiting with bated breath for your translation of the father's occupation... major-general?


Parents: Monthly Worker Börje Andersson and wife Petronella Petersson
Godparents: Wife Johanna Lundin and Unmarried Anna Olsson


"Månadstjernare" is a person who was employed by the month. "Monthly Worker" is the best I could come up with.

Thanks all for the information. I must admit this is all very intriguing. I see I was beaten to putting up Carl’s children, thanks Beg :)  Carl I think if this is him should’ve written a book! Especially interesting is the “Missing” info.. might explain a lot I think.

I have checked for this Carl for any other records such as census and death records and there aren't any. So this Carl must have left Sweden.

Hello butterpopcorn59...

I think the thing to do now is to start a Wellington Archives lookup thread. If you ask for a photo of the Memorial of Naturalisation, mentioned by John in reply no.7, you can see whether or not the info your Carl gave tallies with the info found by Ian.

In your look-up thread include the following heading and link...

From: Carl Leopold Anderson, Wellington
To: Colonial Secretary
Date: 11 October 1867
Subject: For naturalization

https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=24203422

Hopefully in the not too distant future some kind soul visiting Wellington Archives will take a few photos of the Memorial and then email them to you.

---

Another option is purchasing a printout of the 1914 death certificate for your Carl and hoping that the informant knew the names of Carl's parents. If Börje ANDERSSON and Petronella PETERSSON are listed then you're all set to begin researching your Swedish side.

Personally I'd hold off any purchasing until you sight the Memorial.

Regards
Beg

Hi Beg,

I think I may have that. Attached is a photo of the document I have.  I was thinking maybe the death certificate is the way to go. I’ve looked up what information could be on it. Sounds good but of course at the end was “if known” so a gamble but for $25 it’s not much to pay for maybe a definitive answer.

Regards Louisa.

Found this photo today.. it may be Carl.. on the back says Mr Anderson so it’s either him or maybe given to him.. I do know it’s a relative.. next step is to find out what era this was taken.. only head and shoulders but the collar etc might be a clue.. collar looks almost clerical. Handsome chap if I might say so myself!

Hi Louisa...

Yes you're right. The reference number in your photo (67/3371) matches the reference number (1867/3371) in the Archives link I gave.

So I wonder where the 1841 birth date mentioned in Svenska in NZ comes from. The book also notes that he was a mariner prior to being a storekeeper so maybe the birth date is from one of the Swedish mariner's databases, like the Sjömanshus.

Searching for a mariner used to be a pain. Very few indexes but I don't know how it is now.

Unless any other rootschatters have a plan B .....(pause)..... maybe a printout of the 1914 death certificate is the way to go.
