I am actively involved with...

Scandinavian American Cultural and Historical Foundation - cultural heritage group puts on a big festival in April and a Symposium in February, weekly speaker at a brownbag lunch session, support a museum and library and even does a little genealogy.
FamilySearch Library - we provide access to vast array of records, classes in genealogy, and assistance.
Lynn, I think we are missing some communications, there are too many ways to leave messages, and I guess you have to click on the "thread" option to see a complete conversation. Anyway Im not sure you got the email I sent to gmail a few days ago so I will copy it here.
According to the translation the bouppteking was: "...Conducted at the Torp Lilletorp under Gunnastorps at Gvarlåten kapen.." which is different from any other places otherwise associated with Johannes. I am assuming the boupp. was just executed at some place other than his home at death; maybe the widow had moved?? but I do not know how that was normally done.
enough..I could go on for a long time but that gives you an idea of what little I know and mostly don't know.
Thanks for your interest.
@Lynn,
Thanks for the message. I did email you a summary of my genealogy activities to your hotmail account on Jan 24. Let me know if I should send it someplace else. Some of the pages of interest in the 06-nol-21 map are SID 74, 87, and 88. Generally anyplace the name Johannes Jonasson appears.
Hello . Did you know we have an active chat community? There are usually people in the chat from all over who can help with lookups and advice. We also have several scheduled chats each week and a game of trivia every Wednesday and Saturday at 9 pm eastern. Hope to see you there.
Oh Lynn, this is marvelous, thank you so much. Now I am all the more anxious to see even more. Would I be asking too much, to wonder if I could send you the page numbers for 2 or 3 other pages in the same text where I have seen the name Johaness Jonasson. I totally understand if this is asking too much, and thank you again profusely for the translation.
-Thank you Lynn. The 06-nol-21 map I referenced is a dejavu file on Lantmateriet. It has a map on page 1 then ~100 pages of text describing land reform changes on the farm. Because I recognize only a few words in Swedish I am unable to make much of the text, other than I can see the name Johannes Jonasson in several places. I think Swedish lessons are in my future.
Hello - Interested in a rousing game of trivia? Join us in the chatroom for a game of trivia on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9 pm eastern time.
Thanks for responding Lynn. One of the maps of interestto me is 06-nol-21 at http://historiskakartor.lantmateriet.se/arken/s/show.html?archive=REG&showmap=true&searchType=d&nbOfImages=100&sd_base=lm06&sd_ktun=0003sn0o
My ancestor related to Orsbyholm is Johannes Jonasson. That name is found in several places in the writeup, but I think there were more than one person with that name and I cannot read if Jonas was a farm owner or tennant or where on the map would be his property. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello Lynn,
I sent a friend request but failed to add my message. I saw you have expertise in Swedish Geography and I was wondering if you have experience interpreting old farm maps and reading the land reform documents from Lantmäteriet. I need a lot of help.
Thanks
Erv
