Augusta, daughter of Johannes Bengtsson (a farmer in Brandstorp) and Maja Johansdotter (her second marriage), was born in Våmb, Skövde on 5 Dec 1851 and baptized on 7 Dec 1851. Johannes Bengtsson 13 Mar 1823 in Hångsdala in Skaraborg county. Maria (Maja) Johannesdotter was born 21 Apr 1822. Maria and Johannes Bengtsson had the following children: Matilda b. 3 Dec 1848 in Norra Kyrketorp; Emma Kristina, b. 15 Aug1850 - d. 22 Nov 1850 in Våmb; August b. 21 Dec 1854 in Våmb. I have descendant's information of Augusta Johannesdotter, and some information about Matilda's descendants. I have a death location for August in Pierce County, Wisconsin, America.
I have a note referring to two other children: Gustaf Wilhelm Johanson born after 1857 in Sweden and Tyra Albertine (?) born after 1857 in Sweden, but I have not located any other information on them.
Maria had the following children in her first marriage: Erik Johann Svensson b. 28 Jan 1843 in Våmb and Sofia Svensdotter b. 6 Jun 1844 in Våmb. Any additional information on these persons would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Renée

Ten years ago while visiting my cousins in Sweden, I was given a booklet prepared by members of the family in the Vara area of Skovde.Johannes was the son of Peter Bjorkman/Persson. Johannes worked on a large farm caled Kavlas and in 1806 married Stina Nilsdotter. Matilda Josephina Perrson married Carl G. Pehrson in Chicago and lived in DeKalb, IL. and raised me.

Did Anna Sophia have any children? I have a picture of Anna with a group of women in the home they lived in; in the background is a young girl who looked quite a bit like my aunt who was Matilda's daughter.

Sorry, but I have just access to at latest Census 1900 and nothing after that. Tried to find Anna in the Death Index without success. She must passed away before 1947, when the CD starting. The database is just for 1947-2006. A new one will come later on in 2010 in Aug-Sept and that will include from 1901 to 2008.

The churchbooks for Norra Kyrketorp or others in the area around here, aren't avaible after 1898. They are at the Landsarkiv in Göteborg and will be filmed. But how long time it will takes I don't know, probably years.

I can make a try for you at Rötter, which is the meeting place for genealogists in Sweden. Or you can make one yourself at www.genealogi.se. Most of the information is in swedish however but it's some instructions in swedish as well.

Annelie,
Thank you so much for the wotk you've done for me. I did try the Rotter, but since the records and some instructions are in Swedish, I just got more confused than ever.
Judi.

I have made a query for you at Rötter under Sjogerstad. To see it you have to go through Diskussioner - Nytt senaste dygn (newest the last day) - Västergötland - Sjogerstad. If you will look at it later it's Nytt senaste veckan.
