Thank you so much, Annelie! What is a rote?

Comment by Annelie Jonsson on July 20, 2012 at 4:44am

It seems to be a rote in Lekåsa also with the name Bragnum. I didn't know that. Sending you files of the churchbook throuhgt your adress on Facebook.

Also, Stephen Kohler wrote on Feb. 20, 2011:

Anders Peter Svensson was born 26 May 1856 on the farm Hjelltag in Bitterna and baptized the following day.  His father was Sven Jonasson and the mother was Britta Stina Jonasdotter.  I was unable to pinpoint the family in the household examination roll for roughly the same time period.

So how does that fit in with Frostag Bragnum?

I have found the words in two places.

1) On the Flyttningsbevis (immigration papers) for my great-grandparents (Anders Peter Svensson and Johanna Johansdotter), after his name, it says, "frön Bragnum Frostag: af Lekåsa Moderförsamling".

2) On (what appears to be) an inside page from a Bible, which lists names. Under Anders Petter Svensson, it says, Frostage Bragnom föd år 1856 den 26 Maj, and under that, Johanna Johannsdotter, with Frostage Bragnom föd år1855 den 7 Juli.

So, I'm thinking that it is a location, or the name of a farm?

They went to Wisconsin where they had changed their name to Lundberg by the 1880 census.

How do I look at their ancestors to see if a grandparent was a Lundberg?

Thanks for any help

There is a Rote in Floby parish in Falköping with the name Bragnum. Could it be that your meant. Frostage is an other matter, don't know what it is.

What is the connection?

In what

What is "Frostage: Bragnom"

Comment by Barbara Wells on November 11, 2011 at 11:12am

Hello Annelie, JF Johansson was born on the tiny island of Djurö in the parish of Torsö near Mariestad on 4 Apr 1847.  This island is now a national park in Lake Vänern. Perhaps this is where the original confusion came in - 2 places named Djurö.  Maybe someone in the past did a little research and found only the Djurö in Stockholms län and didn't realize about the second one in Skaraborg.  Some time ago I looked in the Torsö records and also through some of the Stockholm records (I made it up to parish names beginning with "V" so far), but couldn't find Lovisa Larsd. yet.  She may have been born elsewhere in Skaraborg or perhaps in Stockholms län, or perhaps I missed her name when my eyes got fatigued! There is not much known about Lovisa except as mentioned below. She was born 10 Aug 1845, married L. Joneson (no first name and surname may be spelled differently), emigrated in 1869 with that husband and 2 young children - Carl and Sofie (and Sofie died at sea).  This weekend I will try sorting through more records with the free access to Arkiv Digital.  Thanks for any suggestions you may have on trying to track down Lovisa. - Barbara

To Barbara

The connection with Stockholm I think is of Djurö, as that place are in Stockholm's län. Torsö, is an island just outside Mariestad in the lake Vänern. So where is your John Fredrick Johansson born?? In Djurö or Torsö??
