Also, "hustru" doesn't mean mother but wife.

Drang means a farm worker. He could have been from Odeby Parish probably in Narke.

Comment by Allan H. Merrill on December 21, 2013 at 5:47pm
The town may be "Odeby".
Comment by Allan H. Merrill on December 21, 2013 at 5:44pm
I think the name is "Anders".

I was wondering if anyone could transcribe the last line in this image.  For reference its a document from 1880.  THe first name ia A. Nyberg, the second is (i presume mother) Carolina, then "Son, Oscar", but I can't figure out the name of the person on the last line, nor the city name listed.  Any suiggestions?

Thanks for the tip, John. I'm looking through the Mistelås volumes for some clarifications right now.

Hi Elisabet - I am new to this site, so would I put my email address here?

Thank you

M Graham, are you sure about Clara's birth date? I've found a Clara Andersdotter in Stora hester with the birth date 18/4 - 57. I have screenshots and translations of the church books for you if you think she is "the" Clara. She emigrated 1870 with her mother and two siblings. Do you have an e-mail address I could send them to?

Also - "Charles" is probably "Carl" in Sweden. "Anderson" is probably "Andersson" and "Yanson" - "Jansson". Do you know what name the A stand for in Charles name?
