I have figured it out too that Christian Robson might not be related to Jacob Robertson. Thankīs, Maria!

Scotland / Re: Looking for my ancestor Christian Robson of clan Gunn (I think!)
« on: Wednesday 22 September 10 23:08 BST (UK) »
Thank You all!! I have come a long way in my research and itīs worth so much to me.
Right now I am trying to locate a Partick Robertson and his wife Elizabeth Ramsay that might be the parents of Jacob Robertson of Struan who might be the grandfather of my ancestor Christian Robson (1613-1685).
Elizabeths Ramsayīs parents names were Jacob Ramsay and Jonetha Scot.
Anyone who have heard of them before??
Thank you again!! This is really a great forum.

Dear, Elwyn!
Absulutely! I understand that there is very difficult to find any more information about his birth family. But I will keep looking here in Sweden where you can find a lot more around this time in history. I will check up this possible grandfather of his and see if they might be related.
Actually, I am doing this for two reasons. I am first of all interested because of my family tree. I have been doing genealogy reserach for many years now and I am fascinated by all the surpises you get along the way to find your ancestors.
But second, Iīm writing a historic novel about Christian Robson. I will use what I can find, but if necessary I will make it up while I am writing. He is a very interesting character and I am sure this novel will be a long, very long, project of mine.
So if I donīt find any more evidence that Christian Robson was born in clan Dunnachaid for instance, I will still do more research about that clan to include that in my book. (But not in my family tree!)
Thanks again! / Helena

I will look for Jacob Robertson in Stockholm right away to determine if he is the grandfather of my ancestor Christian Robson (Robsahm).
THANK YOU for all the help! I will gladly read more if you have more suggestions about doing research in Scotland.

Yes, of course. You are right. I am just so excited!!
I have three different facts about his birth:
Most likely he was born 1613 - but I donīt know where.
Second: he was born 1615 - itīs possible.
Third: some people say that he left Scotland for Sweden in 16th century, but that sounds more like his (possible) grandfather Jacob Robertson of Struan who left Scotland to work as a physician in Stockholm, Sweden.
So..... what to do next?
I would like to search different archives in Scotland, but I am not familiar to them. You need credits to search and so on. Here in Sweden we use subscription and you can search as much as you like for a while.
I am also not familiar to the system to search, but I guess Iīll learn if I try...
Thank You for all the help!!

Thank you!! It was interesting facts, I will look into that.
Itīs fascinating, because I have been doing research about this Christian Robson for more than a year and always got stuck on this vague clue about Clan Gunn (and even Robson Gunn). But I am not sure that itīs the right clan...
Last night, after posting here, I found another family tree online that I have never seen before. (htt://kristinsweedler.com) and I saw that Christian Robson had a father / grandfather named Jacob Robertson of Struan, born 1566 in Struan barony near Atholl, Scotland of clan Donnachaid. Physician in Stockholm, died in 1652, buried in Spånga church.
I have seen information before about a possible father of Christian Robson, named Jacob (Johansen) Rubsaem, born 1587.
That makes sence.
Jacob Robertson born 1566, his son (Christians father) Jacob Rubsaem (like a latin version of Robson) born in 1587 and finally Christian Robson born in 1613.
Is there anyone out there who knows more about this family? Or about this clan Donnachaid?
Thank you!

Scotland / Looking for my ancestor Christian Robson of clan Gunn (I think!)
« on: Friday 17 September 10 22:35 BST (UK) »
I am looking for my scottish ancestor Christian Robson born 1613 in Scotland. I beleive that he is a Robson of clan Gunn but I am not sure.
This is what I know anyway: (I am looking for more facts about his family in Scotland, I know most of his whereabouts after he left Scotland...)
Born 1613 (or maybe 1615) in Scotland.
Left Scotland to become a mercenary soldier in Germany during Thirty Year War.
He married a German woman, Catharina Bertel (1624-1694).
They moved to Sweden, he worked as a merchant before he became a foundry proprietor at Malingsbo bruk in Dalarna, Sweden.
Christian Robson changed his name to Robsahm when he moved to Sweden.
Christian and Catharina had 11 children.
He died in 1685 i , Malingsbo, Dalarna, Sweden.
Do you kow more about him? Where did he came from? Do you know anything about his parents / family?
I am interested in ANYTHING concerning Christian Robson or Robsons of clan Gunn.
Please, feel free to e-mail me at (*)
I am writing a book about this ancestor of mine.
If anyone at this forum need help to do research in Sweden, I will gladly help you!
Thank you in advance / Helena Stark in Sweden
PS/ The picture is a painting of Christian Robson painted in 1678 in Uppsala, Sweden. / DS
