Emibas CD:

Emibas was made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country. It is about 75% complete.

Fredrik's birth record can be seen on the fee-based Genline site, which has scans of the original records. However, the date of birth was 17 July 1826. (The birthdate was misread, either by the transcriber on Emibas or by the ministers long ago. It is not at all uncommon that those ministers could not read their own terrible writing.) Fredrik was baptised two days later on 19 February 1826. His parents were the tanner Mr. Anders Burström and his wife, Ulrica Maria? Lindberg from Bursholm ? (probably a small place in that parish). Baptism witnesses were also listed. The mother was 40 something years old, but the second digit in 4_ is impossible to read in this record. The household examination record (a Swedish parish record similar in format to a census but FAR more detailed and updated continually, instead of once every ten years as a census would be) will probably be easier to read and will probably provide a full birthdate and location for each member of the household.

Too bad you aren't providing dates along with names. It is also too bad you don't know a maiden name for Hanna Dahlbeck. (Apparently Dahlbeck was her married name.)

I do see a Gottlieb Dahlbäck (same pronunciation as Dahlbeck) but he was an unmarried son in this family. It is interesting that his mother was also a Wistrand, as Lovisa was. It is even more interesting that both Wistrand wives were born in Kråkshult. (As explained later in this post, they were sisters.)

She was born 29 September 1817 and was baptised 5 October 1817. Her parents were Peter Wistrand and his wife, Cathrina Olofsdotter who lived in Lilla Bjelkarum in that parish. The mother was 29 years old. Baptism witnesses were also listed.
