Jag vidarebefordrar här en fråga från Martin Jackson:
I am trying to find out something about my grandmother's family Bolander who came from Gotland. Unfortunately my grandmother is long since dead and there are no family members who can help with information.
All I know is that my grandmother, whose name was Maria Teresa Bolander, was born in London, England. She gave her father's name as John (Johan) and she told us that he had left Gotland and gone, probably to England or America during the latter part of the 19th century. She never told anyone what had happened to him, whether he had married, where he died, or what other family he might have had.
When I was in Gotland a few years ago I went to the Landarkivet in Visby and tried to do some research. I found who I thought was the most likely person to be her father - he was Johan Petter Bolander, born on the farm Bols in Havdhem. I have looked through your database and found such an entry for Johan Petter Bolander, born 1848 in Bols, Havdhem.
