Because I tried to help Stephanie (my english is not so good and she don´t understand swedish)I know this:
Frans Gustaf Salomonsson f.15/3 1872 i Berga (G)
Hilda Kristina Salomonsdotter f. 28/8 1874 i Berga (G).  
Both from Tutaryd(G) and emigrated 1890 and 1892.

Stephanie,
 
 
Do you live in the U.S.?  If so, have you tried looking in the Berga parish birth records for your grandfather and his sister at a Family History Center near you?  (You do not say where you have searched so far)  If you know the year that they emigrated, you can get a look up from the Emigrant CD at this website:  http://www.nextdim.com/users/Cathym
 
 
Are you looking for presently-living relatives in Sweden?  Contact me if you are still stuck.
 
 
Regards,

Oskar was born 30/12/1888  Thank you Christian Andersson for your help.

Hi Esther.
 
Kyrkobokf (1969) i Bäckebo (Kalm län, Nybro kn) ->
 
Kyrkobokförd 1969 i Bäckebo församling i Nybro kommun i Kalmar län. ->
 
This actualy means that Oskar Ribert Karlsson and Anna Elsa Sigrid Karlsson were registered 1969 (or earlier) in Bäckebo parish located in Nybro kommun in Kalmar län and lived there by the time of their death.
 
Maybe it might be a little bit easier for you to get response upon your queries if you write them in the folder of the parish concerned. In this case:

[Virginia Satterlee]

Please e-mail satterleevirginia@hotmail.com for Nylander, Mortenson, Olson, Lindstrom and Anderson in 1800.  Thank you. God bless you.

[Donna Corlett]

Virginia: Hi!  Can you please provide a little more information? (More than just last names!) (Nylander, Mortenson, Olson, Lindstrom and Anderson)  
I checked -and did not find any other requests posted by you that relay any additional information. (?!?)
Who exactly are you looking for?  
What are these peoples first (given) name(s)?  Where in Sweden were they from?  
Did they emigrate to another country and you want to trace them from Sweden...or are you simply interested in your families history within Sweden?
 
Please let me know what you can (facts!).  You can simply click on my name at the top of this message and it will take you to my email address.
 
I will try to help you as best I can...you do need to provide more details though!
 
Kindest regards,
Donna

Hi
I am trying to locate living relatives in Sweden.  My ancestors were:
Karl Oskar Olsson, born in 1843 in Fliseryd, Kalmar, Sweden, and his wife, Anna Fredrika Jonsson, born in 1844 in Fliseryd.  Their children were: Emelie Augusta, born in 1889; Ester Maria, born in 1878; Fabian Karl, born in 1873; Tyra Fredrika in 1876; Julia Amanda, born in 1881; Karl Rudolf, born in 1875; Oskar Fredrik, born in 1879; Axel Hjalmar, born in 1884; Ture Wilhelm, born in 1887; and Emelie Augusta, born in 1880, died in 1882. Tyra, Fabian, and Julia went to America, and the other children remained in Sweden.  Can anybody give me any leads on who I should contact, or an address to the church in Fliseryd?  Thank you.
Justin

Justin!
 
I would recommend you to check the English pages in Rötter, www.genealogi.se. There you will find useful information about Swedish church records, where they are kept and further more.

[RussErickson]

I am looking for information and relatives of my great grandmother, Selma Augusta Anderson born  July 4, 1870 in Västergötland, maybe near Borås.
 
Her brother was Erland Anderson born May 19, 1867 also born in Västergötlund.  Erland immigrated from Sweden in 1887. Selma's other sisters were    Freda, Helga (never left Sweden) and Esther Anderson, emigrated and settled somewhere in Minnesota.

[Roland Johansson]

Erland Andersson, 19 years old, from the parish Vinköl in Västergötland (Skaraborg county) emigrated 25 March 1887 to Wakonia, Minnesota.
 
Closest town to Vinköl is not Borås, but Skara 10 km north-east of Vinköl.

Could anyone help me find my great grandfather Laurence Patterson.  His marriage details and death certificate indicate he was born in Stockholm/Gotland Sweden.  He apparently came into Australia in c.1875 died in Rockhampton, Qld, Aust. 1902.    His father was William Patterson and his mother Mary Alster.  Any info. would be greatly appreciated

[Ted Rosvall]

The EMIBAS database of Swedish emigrants shows one Laurentius Ingemund Pettersson (sometimes Oskarsson), born Sep.23.1861 at Linde, Gotland, who on May.9.1881 emigrated from Odvalls in Linde to Australia.
 
Ted Rosvall

[Roland Johansson]

The marriage records for Linde on Gotland has a couple marrying on 11.6 1857:
Petter Oskar Pettersson, from Röstäde in Ekeby
Magdalena Elisabet Odin, daughter of a member of parliament, from Odvalds in Linde.

[Colleen Wiggins]

Thankyou Ted and Roland, for your info.  I am very grateful for any leads I can get.  According to Lawrence's death certificate in Australia in 1902, he was 65 years, he would have been born in 1837, marriage certificate in 1883 he was 37, he would have been born 1846.  Laurentius Ingemund Pettersson could definitely be the right person.  Although popular family belief was that Lawrence was quite older than his bride (she was 18), something like 19 years.  If he was born in 1861 he would have been 22 years old when he married.  ??   How could I search to see what ships left the port of Odvalls in Linde to Australia?  Any ideas?  
 
Cheers!
