Help please Hans Jannsen Ahlfors born 1861 in Malmo - Swedish Records

Whoops !!

Hi Mobo
I have looked at quite a few records for the south of Sweden, but to no avail.

Most Swedish Church records prior to 1900 have been microfilmed by Church of J.C.L.S., and will be available through any of their Centres. Is there one near you?. Failing that, I will go to the National Archives in Stockholm (but not before Christmas)  and see if I can find 'your man'.

I do have an e-mail address of a lady called Margareta Kroon, who may also be able to help you ( margareta@msff.se ) If I am not allowed to post this, I am sure the 'watchers' will remove it. She is involved with the Swedish Genealogy Days Fair being held in Malmö next year.

Hello MDW,
Please excuse the intrusion on this post, with your most helpful and interesting replies. 

As I have a close Swedish Lady friend  , with whom my German wife worked in the International Bundes Post in Germany, and who now lives in Jonköping, but has a holiday home in the South Sweden area "Skåne",close to Malmo and a son in Lund.
I mentioned the post to her on the phone yesterday in passing, and she sent me this link, which you may probably already have,  which I recieved by Email today.

She is also researching her family Tree, and pointed out that this site has also the facilty to read it in Engelsk which may help the original poster.

Kind Regards

This site may help, it's Ancestry. Ancestry's fee-based and I do not have access to getting the 'final record', however, I'll give you a link to the site anyway:

http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=1189&cj=1&o_xid=0000584978&o_lid=0000584978

I saw a person listed:
C J Ahlfors b. abt 1856

Thanks woodelf - although I'm a member of Ancestry I can't access this Swedish section as it needs Delux membership.  We'll just have to wait 'til something positive crops up I guess.

I'm a member of Ancestry too- but don't have access to all databases anymore

Hi

An old post here. You may have the info now but I have your Hans Jönsson Alfors. He was born in Anderslöv Parish 29 June 1860 to Jöns Hansson and Kristina Jönsdotter.

If you go to this site: http://digitalastadsarkivet.stockholm.se/Rotemannen2012/Search.aspx and write 1860 in Date of Birth and Alfors in Lastname you will get 1 hit. You can see the original document in the menu on the left. He is the third one down.

   I am trying to find the Birth of Charles Lawson who according to his marriage certificate in Broken Hill was born in Stockholm.   He gives his age as 30 years in 1898 and names his father as Jacob Lawson who was also from Stockholm according to the Trove newspaper marriage announcement which also says that Charles was the third son.   He also names his mother as Christina Davis which doesn't sound at all Swedish to me anyway.   Perhaps Jacob married again after he got to Australia and then thought of Christina as his mother?
   I've tried the Swedish search site mentioned in the previous post in this discussion but get no result for either 1868 or 1867.   So perhaps the name was different in Swedish?....perhaps Larsen?
   Can anyone help?

Perhaps Charles wasn't actually Swedish. Jacob's occupation of "contractor" is interesting. Could Jacob and his wife moved to Sweden for work?
I agree thay Lawson could be Larsson, but the mother's name made me wonder.
