Monica Staversjö replied to Monica Staversjö's discussion 'Impossible to find gg uncle Oskar Albin Gustafsson' in the group Lost Faces: Ancestor Photos & Albums
Thanks Lisa!
I am having a really hard time with this man! I've checked on Ancestry - and found a whole lot of "oscar G-son's" - and have been able to rule some of them out. The hard thing is to really know "for sure"…

Thank you so much. That would mean this photo would have been taken prior to 1895. Between 1891-1895. Unfortunately that doesn't give me much leads as to where to continue my search. The possibility is that he died before the 1900 census... OR…

Monica Staversjö replied to Kate Steere's discussion 'Clara/Carrie Erickson Lavelle' in the group Most Wanted! Ancestors Lost and Found
It changed in the latter part of the 1800's, maybe 1870-1880 and onward.
Monica Staversjö replied to Kate Steere's discussion 'Clara/Carrie Erickson Lavelle' in the group Most Wanted! Ancestors Lost and Found
No I wouldn't say Clarice is a typical Swedish name, not even "back then". Klara/Clara is more of a Swedish name. What would be odd about her father's name? That she should have been named Gustavsson - as the patronymic custom…

Hi Kate, don't know if you have the cd Emibas. I just did a quick check for "Clara Eriksdotter" with the time frames you mentioned above - this was the only post that came up, does it strike you as the right person? Do you know where…
Monica Staversjö replied to JB Peterson's discussion 'Oskar Eskil Erickson' in the group Most Wanted! Ancestors Lost and Found
Hi, Checked for his name on Ancestry and it seems he immigrated to the US around 1865-1867 acc to the census 1900 and 1920. Naturalized in 1875 acc to the 1920 census. So it could be somewhere around that time. That would mean he emigrated with his…

Hi Monica,
Thanks very much for your kind offer. I am unsure about Skärstad and still mostly confused about whether it is a farm, town, parish or some other geopolitical entity. It may well be that he was born in Jönköping (a town?)…
Kate Steere replied to Monica Staversjö's discussion 'Impossible to find gg uncle Oskar Albin Gustafsson' in the group Most Wanted! Ancestors Lost and Found
It's always fun to try new ways to look for information, sometimes you find answers by just working around the direct information. :)
Monica Staversjö commented on Debbie Anne Jackson's group 'GenealogyWise Volunteers'
Hi all, I can try and help out with the Swedish churchbooks on Genline; The Swedish Census' 1890, 1900, 1970 and 1980; different sources for the Swedish emigrants going to the US; such as the Cd's Emibas / Emgrant Popular. Well - just ask…
Monica Staversjö left a comment for JB Peterson
Hi JB, I see on your homepage that you have written "Jönköping, Skärstad" as his (Oskar Eskil Erickson's) birth location. Skärstad is a small place just outside of the Huskvarna/Jönköping area. If…

Thank you Sherry for your welcoming note! It surely seems like an amazing site for all of us obsessed with genealogy & research! :-)
Monica Staversjö replied to Monica Staversjö's discussion 'Impossible to find gg uncle Oskar Albin Gustafsson' in the group Most Wanted! Ancestors Lost and Found
Hi Kate,
This is a route I never thought of checking - for the photographer himself... See my answer about this on the previous post! I surely need alot of "free time" for this this weekend! Thank you both!
