Help with Family History

[Louise2011]

Hi well since I have some time today I thought I would give some more detail on my family tree and what I do know.
I want to thankyou for the replys that I have for beginning.
It would help if my scanner worked but I don't mind typing it.

I went to the library today to get a few books out on Family history.
There are a lot of names in my family history I am related to Jon Raud Ivarsson Baron of Sdderheim.
It says the father of Marta Beata was Carl Christian Roos AF HJELMASTER I do have dates and other names if anyone is interested in anymore or can give me anymore details.
It would be nice to know more.

Thanks
From Louise

You could take a look here:

http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roos_af_Hjelms%C3%A4ter

It states that the family originates in medievil Norway (I think with either royal and/or noble links) & has later connections with Sweden.
It says the name is referred to in Norway as Sudrheim or Sorum, which would tie in with Jon Raud Ivarsson.

It would be interesting to hear what you know so far & what you need to find out, since this family dates back so far I assume you have a fair amount already?

Are you located in Scandinavia or in the UK? Just makes a difference as to which resourses might be most useful to you...

Try here for a basic summary of early facts about the origins of this family:

Connection in there to Norwegian King Håkon V Magnusson.

Not basic at all once I got reading, there is a lot of inofrmation here!

There is also an email contact at the bottom which may prove helpful

Hi!

A quick browse of Swedish Wikipedia returns this:

http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roos_af_Hjelms%C3%A4ter

(Finnish Wikipedia is already posted)

"Roos af Hjelmsäter" seems to be a noble, Swedish family originating from Norway, probably from the farm Skjea in Sørum, Akershus.
