I looked at the church records for Oscar parish and there is a son, Viktor Louis, born on Sep 27, 1926 in Klara parish, Stockholm and who died on Aug 29, 1995 in Sollentuna parish, Uppland.

There might be children born after the family moves to Oscar parish in 1930, but to find them, you have to either go through the birth records for Oscar parish (available online up to 1942 via SVAR or ArkivDigital up to 1941, both for a fee) or order the estate inventory of Victor Vogt, via the City Archives of Stockholm.

Hi pinefamily,

Oh yes, there is an enormous difference in quality between the images on ArkivDigital and SVAR or Ancestry/Genline. Some of them are completely illegible with the two latter, but with AD, you're able to read it with no problems at all.

Glad to have been able to help you!

Hi,

I think I have found your Hans Peter Lindgren. In the moving records of Gothenburg Gustavi (domkyrko) parish vol B:2 (1795-1802) p56, there is a note about a "sjöman", sailor, Hans Peter Lindgren, b. 1783, who moves to the parish from Norrköping. He is said to be born in "Westervik" or Västervik with a modern spelling.

In the birth records for Västervik, vol C:5 (1770-1804) p171, you find Hans Peter born on Feb 13, 1783, the son of "kronobränneriinspectoren" Carl Peter Lindgren and his wife Margareta Lorentzon. You find the family in the husförhördlängd for Västervik (I only checked 1787-1799) here:

AI:6 1787-1789 p104 (Östra kvarteret No 3)
AI:7 1790-1791 p132 (Östra kvarteret No 3)
AI:8 1792-1797 p140 (Östra kvarteret No 155)
AI:9 1797-1799 p62 (Östra kvarteret No 92&93)
AI:9 1797-1799 p11 (Östra kvarteret No 10) -Hans Peter is not noted here

Hans Peter moves to Norrköping on July, 31 1799, according to Västervik moving records, vol BI:1 (1724-1817), page 117, # 40, which probably explains why he isn't noted with his family in the husförhörslängd AI:9 on page 11.

His occupation, when he moves from Västervik, is "skrifvare", a clerk, so why he is noted as a sailor when he moves to Gothenburg is a bit bewildering. The piece that ties this Hans Peter with "your" Hans Peter, though, is the estate inventory for his mother, Margareta Lorentzon, which you find in the court records for Västervik rådshusrätt och magistrat, vol FI:25 (1818-1822) p649 which says "... the late Mrs. Margareta Lorentzen, who, together with the widower, leaves the sons "Wågskrifvaren" in Gothenburg Hans Peter Lindgren...". You have the division of the estate on p691 and on p692 is probabably the signature of Carl Peter Lindgren.

You find the estate inventory of Carl Peter Lindgren in vol FI:25 (1818-1822), pp965-997 (though he is called Johan Peter Lindgren for some reason), and that is an amazing piece. Here you can see, among other things, a list of the furnitures in each room of his house, even the contents of the pantry (well, at least barrels and bottles, coffee-mill and such) is specified!

Carl Peter is said to be born in "Hvena", nowadays Vena, parish and his wife Margareta Lorentzon is mentioned in an estate inventory after her mother Christina Lorentzon (Västervik rådshusrätt och magistrat, vol FI:20, 1798-1803, p405) and her father Peter Lorentzon (Västervik rådshusrätt och magistrat, vol FI:9, 1752-1757, p1163), so hopefully you will be able to go much further in your resarch.
