HI Everyone I have been doing research on the above for quite a few years now and I am just trying to get his timeline together as all the documents I have been sent are in Swedish it's been slightly difficult so I thought I would ask someone with more experience perhaps to try and unravel the movements of Karl HALLGREN.
1869-11-19 KARL FREDRIK born (Söderhamn), County of Gävleborg Illegitimate son of BRITA CATHRINA HALLGREN born 1846-08-20, came from Hudiksvall 1867, died 1869-11-27 8 day’s after giving birth.
From here (on familysearch) I have Karl on the 1871-1880 Census with Foster parents Fredrika Charlotta Melin and Olof NILSSON.
Again from 1876-1880 with above foster parents. Karl then goes to Klara from Dalaro in 1881.
My question (and confusion is!) in 1873 from the JARVSO moving out certificate it has The young boy Karl Fredrik, son of the joinery worker Bror
August Hallgren, is born in Söderhamn on the 19 Nov 1869,
is vaccinated and moves now after the tax listings
to Stockholm.
The vaccination was for smallpox.
Both the pastor and Bror might have felt it looked much better to have Bror for a father rather than having "both parents unknown".
Therefore exactly what year is Karl Frederik HALLGREN given up to the Foster parents Frederika and Olof NILSSON?? Just want to make sure my timeline is correct. Thanks so much for any help. Kindest regards Dianna from Aus

Hi
I took a wee look at some of the records which you may already have:
1869:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nvr/
1875:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nvq/
I noticed that she was the stepdaughter in the family "styvdottern". She is actually living with her mother.

His mother died in 1869 and he was sent away in 1873. I suppose he couldn't be looked after anymore and was sent away in 1873. It may have taken 4 years to find a foster home. I think then 1873 is the foster year.

HI thanks very much for your replies I can't really make out the documents unfortunately, even if I could read Swedish they are a bit hard to make out aren't they???
I noticed that she was the stepdaughter in the family "styvdottern". She is actually living with her mother.
1846: Brita's birth record:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nvs/
Could you explain this perhaps?? Do you read Swedish at all?? Is BRITA HALLGREN the stepdaughter of BROR AUGUST HALLGREN???? I'm confused really. LOL
1846: Sigrin Olofsdotter without daughter:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nvt/
What does this mean???? I find the census' a bit confusing really. It say's from family search that Karl Frederick is the stepson of the NILSSON'S from 1871-1880 but then the Grandfather of Karl Frederick BROR AUGUST HALLGREN has had him immunised/vacinated in 1873. SO CONFUSED. Thanks anyway. Regards Dianna

Yes I can read Swedish and these records.
Yes she was his stepdaughter.

HI Ian wow I had some dramas replying to you!! Never mind! Thanks so much for the information. How did you find Brita Cattarina etc. birth record if not under HALLGREN. Now that has put a different spin on the research as the name is not really HALLGREN now is it, if she is BROR AUGUST HALLGRENS stepdaughter.
Yes the 1876-1880 census link you sent is correct BUT Karl also appears on the 1871-1880 Residence Stockholm, Sverige (Swedish Household Examination Books that is where my confusion was/is as there is no actual tick or sign underneath all of the years from 1871 to 1880 so I wasn't sure if he was there with the NILSSON'S for that WHOLE period but you think he is with them from 1873, makes more sense doesn't it. Then he is with the other family from 1880 onwards. Still trying to find him leaving Sweden (Stockholm) c 1887, seems to be a Seaman or Sailor of some description.
1885-1886 he is in the book of
missing persons in Klara parish.
1885 Carl Fredik listed as not present in Klara Parish at the same time a remark saying moved to Tegnergatan 4, on 20 Febr. 1886
1886 Tax roll with foster mother Josephina Charlotta Lindberger
1887 he is alone and is titled “Sjomannen”, the sailor.
1888 (approximately) arrives in Australia.
1900 CENSUS He does not seem to appear on this in Sweden!!!
Anyway even though his marriage certificate here does NOT have the correct parents for him, it has been suggested to me that he may have been trying to cover up his "illegitimate" status. Thanks so much for your help. Kindest regards Dianna the below is the 1871-1880 (from family search)

Hi Dianna,
Ian will be able to sort it out for you; he is great at finding "missing" ancestors in the Swedish records.
Have you found Karl Frederik in the Australian National Archives? He could have been naturalized. If so, there should be a record for him. The information on those records will help pinpoint where from and when he came to Australia.
-
Hi yes I am trying to collate data on him now from the Australian resources. I have done some but will need to relook at some things. I have his marriage cert and death/birth of two children etc.
He seems to using the name CHARLES FREDERICK HALLGREN when he arrived in Australia (Victoria) Haven't come across an immigation record as yet. He could have just jumped ship when he arrived here of course. Thanks for your input it is very much appreciated. Hard when you don't read/write Swedish isn't. Still fun to do though. Regards Dianna
-
Hi
You don't happen to have the sources of your Swedish records also what part of Australia did he arrive?
Ian

Just re-read your previous post......Victoria.

This is what I could dig up for now:
1881 - Out - Klara Parish

Hi pinefamily. Hope all is well.
I do hope that I can find more on him.
Ian

Hello Ian,
Yes all well here in a cold South Australia. Hope you are doing well too.
I've had a look on our national archives site, and there are a few Hallgren entries.
Some of them could be his sons; enlistment papers for Victorian born Hallgren's.
There's a naturalization paper for a Frederick Hallgren 1897, but it's not digitized. Dianna will have to contact the archives to get a copy.
Cheers

How did you find Brita Cattarina etc. birth record if not under HALLGREN. Now that has put a different spin on the research as the name is not really HALLGREN now is it, if she is BROR AUGUST HALLGRENS stepdaughter.
Her date of birth is recorded beside her name and usually the place of birth too. The record states that her mother's name is Sigrin Olofsdotter. Brita took the surname Hallgren when Sigrin married Bror.
Here is Brita's death record from Järvsö 27 Nov 1869:

Hallgren Brita Katrina, daughter to carpenter Hallgren and his wife Olsdotter Sigrin in Kyrkbyn i Nr. 3

Hi Dianna
I received the image fine thanks.
The "7" you asked about is the amount of persons on the tax record.
Ian

Yes the 1876-1880 census link you sent is correct BUT Karl also appears on the 1871-1880 Residence Stockholm, Sverige (Swedish Household Examination Books that is where my confusion was/is as there is no actual tick or sign underneath all of the years from 1871 to 1880 so I wasn't sure if he was there with the NILSSON'S for that WHOLE period but you think he is with them from 1873, makes more sense doesn't it.
Just clearing up some queries.

Hi thanks for all the information on Karl, I'm just going through it now. With regards to the missing Karl in 1886 I will look at my notes, probably from one of my old enquires. Way back in 2009 one of the people helping used a Klara CD to find things for me.
In regard to the below, which has just been sent to me!! Is it possible to find the actual image of this census as KARL FREDERIK is referred to as THORSLUND and that is his fathers name.
In next census he is living with in Stockholm with Olof and Fredrika
Källa: Hedvig Eleonora AIa:72 (1873-1874) Bild 325
Samma hushåll
Olof Nilsson 18450820
Fredrika Charlotta 18430209
Carl Fredrik Thorslund 18691119
Birth record:-1869-11-19 KARL FREDRIK born (Söderhamn), County of Gävleborg Illegitimate son of BRITA CATHRINA HALLGREN born 1846-08-20, came from Hudiksvall 1867, died 1869-11-27 8 day’s after giving birth.
The birth book for Soderhamn says that the mother wishes to be anonymous BUT someone has added: Mother Brita Katarina Hallgren, 23 years old, carpenters daughter from Kyrkbyn in Jarvso parish Father: Shop keeper G F Thorslund, Stockholm. Address: Regeringsgatan 94 A, The Spice shop. Brita’s brother Bror Olof Hallgren was one of the witness’s to the baptism. Karl Frederik was born at the midwife, Mrs Noren’s home.
Söderhamn CI:5 (1868-1877) Image 30 / page 25 (AID: v136897.b30.s25, NAD: SE/HLA/1010202)
Now of course I am trying to find out WHEN he left Stockholm (or other place in Sweden) to come here in 1888, so my next question is are there any documents pertaining to him after the "Sailors" document. I guess he didn't worry/bother about informing the parish. Thanks so much for your help now I have a bit more of an idea of his life and movements. Regards Dianna
-
HI Ian just a snippet from my timeline, don't know if it helps or not. I have a copy of the tax roll as well with his foster mum.
I guess he was too young to pay taxes at this time and if he left Sweden c 1887 (if he did?) then I suppose there are not too many other records.
I would imagine if he were "working" on a/the ship there would be a payroll/manifest or something but I have not been able to find any information on that at all.
I can only surmise that the guy in Victoria is him, the timeline adds up BUT I may never know, especially as he has given "False Parents" on his marriage certificate.
His first child was born in 1892 in Victoria so that is a gap from 1888-1892 that needs filling, which I don't think is possible, not from the records here anyway. Many many thanks Dianna
1885 Info, moved out
Moved out:
Move to the appendix B
1884-1885 alone at "Fyrfotan Mindre 7,8" in
Klara parish, moved 1885 to "Bilagan" (usually a list of people leaving
without giving proper notice), and in 1885-1886 he is in the book of
missing persons in Klara parish.
1885 Carl Fredik listed as not present in Klara Parish at the same time a remark saying moved to Tegnergatan 4, on 20 Febr. 1886
1886 Tax roll with foster mother
1887 he is alone and is titled “Sjomannen”, the sailor

Hi Dianna,
Have you looked into getting a copy of the naturalization of Frederik Hallgren in the National Australian Archives?
If it's your man, it should say when he came to Australia. The naturalization certificate for my own great grandfather did, as well as where in Sweden he came from.

Here is the record:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nw9/
The "someone" was the minister. Unusual that the mother wanted to be unknown. I haven't seen this before. I do know that back then the father and mother would be fined or punished for having illegitimate children so perhaps this is why they were recorded.
Here is an explanation:

Are you getting help from someone with a subscription on ArkivDigital?
If so I would recommend you ask for this record.

The image you sent says "utfl 22/2 1886"....... moved out 22/2 1886.

Hi Ian thanks for your reply and links, very informative and helpful. The record for the "Thorslund" mention has been sent to me through Ancestry (message board). This person has an ArkivDigital and SVAR (did I spell that correct). I have not asked yet for the record with Karl missing in 1885-1886 in Klara. Way back in 2009 when I started this research someone was using CD'S with the records on them.
I did note something interesting from your link re "Fathers" of illegitimate children and I would like to follow up on that!!!
"It was not uncommon for an illegitimate son to receive the same first name as his father."
Now from what you have sent me it seems that this MR. THORSSLUND'S initials are C.F. Not "G" as I had initially thought. Will be interesting to find him in some records anyway your input and help has been wonderful and I thank you very much. Will follow up also on Brita Cattarina's illegitimate status. Hopefully I am on the right track with Karl/Carl Frederik HALLGREN (aka CHARLES F HALLGREN). Thanks so much. Kindest regards Dianna
-
Hi
http://sok.stadsarkivet.stockholm.se/Rotemannen2012/SearchResult.aspx.
I had a go at trying to find C.F. THORSLUND/THORSSLUND on the above!!! Nothing came up BUT maybe not sure if I looked properly!! Regards Dianna
-
Here he is in Ytterenhörna Parish.

Ian
-
Oh my goodness! Do I see the name CARL here and could you tell me please what is the first word here looks like SERGEANT???? I'll bet his second name if Frederik, that's great. Many thanks Dianna
-
It is sergeant.
And his name is Carl Fredrik.
Ian
-
Does Sargeant mean the same as it does in English??? Thought he was just a travelling salesman and shopkeeper???
Wow this is amazing to find out that the mum has named her son after the father. Thank you Dianna
-
He must have been a soldier then.
Ian
-
Yes that makes sense I'm just putting together a timeline for Mr. Thorslund now. Do death certificates in Sweden mention wives and children at all?? The C. F THORSSLUND I have died 15 March 1889.
So far I have him in 1851-155 (from your information) then in the same place as Brita 1869. Thorslund is in Jarvso 1874 (Census 1880??) and his death in 1889. Interesting to see if he made a will/had inventory. I don't suppose he would have mentioned his "illegitimate" son there.
Thanks so much adds some interest to the research. Dianna

Hi Ian Thanks so much for all of this. I will just attach here what has been searched re the "Sailors" records. I did send you the copy of the only reference I have I think?? Doesn't look like I will be able to find out anything more on Carl HALLGREN leaving Sweden, that's just the way it goes I guess.
Stockholm Sjömanshus records?
Surnames starting with "H" here: Stockholms sjömanshus DIc:2 (1871-1884) Image 2220 / page 294 (AID: v655690.b2220.s294, NAD: SE/SSA/0826A)

Just copying this as well which I received last year!!!Concerning Karl Fredrik Hallgren, born 1869-11-19 in Söderhamn, County of Gävleborg
I have been searching for him in the registers for the Stockhom Merchant Marine Foundation (Stiftelsen Stockholms sjömanshus) for 1887-1888 but have not been able to find him there.
I have also searched for him in the database at the National Arhives over seamen and haven’t been able to find him there either.

HI again Ian
Just following up on a couple of things before I finish off my Carl F. HALLGREN (THORSLUND?) research please.
Would it be possible to find out where the tax records are kept at all. What years where these taken. I have a copy of the 1884-1885 Tax record with SOFIA CARLOTTA LINDBERGER and fosterson CARL F. HALLGREN.
The next tax record I have seems to have no date on it but Carl/Karl is by himself. ( I sent you that image!!!)
1886 - Out - Klara Parish
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nw2/
1886 - In - Johannes Parish
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nw3/.
Where was Carl in 1887?? Any record???? Also the 1890 Census can that be looked at again?? If there can be NO record found of him leaving Johannes Parish in 1886/87 I can only assume that he has left Sweden!
Thanks to you for your help. Just want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I get this research finished. With appreciation. Dianna

Here is Carl's birth record but not a better one as requested unfortunately:

He most probably wasn't in Sweden in 1890. He probably jumped ship meaning that he was never recorded leaving Sweden. I went through the leaving records for Johannes Parish but could not find him.

HI Ian Thanks so much for that. Looks like this Brita Olosdotter maybe a sister to Brita Hallgrens mother perhaps, Signe Olosdotter (if that is Signe unmarried name??) as you pointed out I believe that Brita? Hallgren was the illegitimate daughter of Signe.
Great to have this extra information just in case I ever track down relatives (Olofsdotters?? perhaps) one day. Thanks very much once again. I think I finally have all the birth certificate translated now. Takes some doing (with a lot of help). If anything you find on Signe and Brita Olofsdotter being related? Sisters perhaps I would appreciate also. I may have to ask my friend who I am doing this research for to have her DNA test done, it may help. Kindest regards Dianna
-
Hi Dianna
Sorry but I don't know the date of the tax record.
The text says that he was "also written in according to the Tax Book".
I believe he would have paid some kind of tax.
Ian
-
Hi Ian Thanks very much once again. Will see if I can find out anything re the date?? Important for the timeline. Much appreciated. Regards Dianna

Hi I am trying to decipher the below document which has Signe/Sigrid? Olofsson listed on it. I think she maybe working on a farm??? She is connected/related to possibly the BRITA JONSDOTTER on the bottom of page 15 who was born 7/6 1770 by the looks of it.
Looks like they (the OLOFSSON'S and family) live in a rural/country town!!

Scanning through the pages on image16/Page 15 there is a HALLGREN?? Looks like it anyway!!!
Signe? OLOFSDOTTER married? BROR AUGUST HALLGREN (when? not sure). Bror born in 1823 Falun Parents JONAS Hallgren and Anna Catharina FALSTROM.
Just adding to the timeline and life events of KARL FREDERIK HALLGREN, Signe is his Grandmother and I tried to find who the father was of Signes daughter BRITA CATTRINA HALLGREN but no luck so far as Brita is not actually a HALLGREN.
More interested now in hopefully finding out who Signe had the baby BRITA CATHRINA to, maybe not possible I realise. Still worth a try. Kindest regards Dianna

HI Ian thanks for that! Can you make out the word just before Signe's name please. So this marriage took place basically in her home town then. Interesting. Many thanks once again. Dianna

Thank you!! From the records I have (tried!) to look at she seems to be working on a neighbours farm. Will have to get my Swedish map out I think and check out their movements. Regards Dianna

It was very common back then that they married in the bride's parish.

Thanks for that. Now I'm trying to find a "better" copy of Brita Katrina HALLGRENS death certificate. Are the death certificates available online do you know.
Many thanks Dianna

HI Ian sorry just found the death record you sent previously. Could you please tell me what it say's in the last column for Brita!! Seems the copy I have printed out here is a bit different to the one you provided not sure why??
Here is Brita's death record from Järvsö 27 Nov 1869:

Wonderful thank you. I'll try and find SIGRID/SIGNE OLOFSDOTTER-HALLGREN death as well just out of curiosity. Seems she died 22/3/1879, hope I have that correct.
Bror August Hallgren died 5/11/1877. One day I will try and find the cemetery they are buried in just in case a trip to Sweden is on the cards. Would like to visit them!! Thanks Dianna

Okay got it have seen this before, you most probably sent it to me!!! Is the person below Bror Olof HALLGREN his wife?? Or is this some other person. JOHANNA ? I see the abbreviation Piga?? think that means "Maiden/servant" something like that. Regards and thanks Dianna
-
This Johanna Wärme wasn't his wife. She lived with them as a "piga". She was a "bagerska" a baker which has been crossed out.

Hi Ian thanks for that link/explanation. Makes the research just that bit more interesting really. I was trying to find the family Bror August Hallgren and the Olofsson's (Signe Olofsdotter) on the early census re 1870 and earlier.
I have only ever found KARL/CARL Frederik on the 1880 Census. Karl isn't on the 1890 Census from what I have been told years ago.
Are all the census records available from the archives do you know. How did you find your family on the early census'. Kind regards Dianna
