Anders Lilja

[Nancy Jaderen]

I am looking for information on the birthplace and parents of Anders Lilja.He was born in 1678 in Gastrikland but I do not know where.I do know he was a soldier and he married Margareta Johansdotter who was born in Finland.I am sorry,but my knowledge of the Swedish language is not that good.I hope someone can help.Thank you

Hi Nancy. I have ancestors named Lilja in Hille parish in Gästrikland. I don\t know much about them yet, but I suggest that you put your request under församlingar(=parishes)and Hille. Someone might know about Anders, and perhaps we are family even if it\s far back!
Regards Stefan
