Daniel Henrickson

[BegClonrode ....]

Hi again...

In the next Confessional Book (1791-1798) neither Aaron nor his older sister Margaret are mentioned with the family. Possibly died in 1786 and 1789.
EDIT: See death next post

http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/saloinen/rippikirja_1791-1797_va16-19/33.htm

The death of the father Henrik is noted with the word "död" next to his name and the date of death in the final column (15 over 3 and a 1795)

Here's the death register entry for the father Henrik FORBUS, occupation sailor (Sjöman)

d.15 Mar 1795
bur. 25 Mar 1795
aged 56 years 3 months

"af Lungfos" is most likely where he lived.

Ouch!

Just realized that there is a 77 year age difference between Aron HENRIKSSON FORBUS b.1783 and Daniel HENRICKSON (son of Aron) b.1860.

They may not be father and son but hopefully still related.

EDIT:

Death of Aron, son of Henric FORBUS

d.16 Feb 1786, buried 19 Feb 1786
(at least that's how I read it. Might be died and buried 2 March 1786)

aged 2 years 4 months

Hi to all
All the best for 2013.
Thank you all to come to my assistance RE: Daniel Henrickson.
So much input but now totally confused.
So from the records do you have Daniels parents as such?

Cheers

Hello Velcro...

No sight of Daniel or of his parents as of yet.

And there's no guarantee that the family found by Brahedstad is related to your man. I think he's going on the Priastadt/Brahedstad connection from your other threads.

I'll try tracing the two surviving sons (Matts b.1774 and Henrik b.1778) through to 1860-ish. See if that turns up anything.

Regards
Beg

Dear Beg

Much appreciate your interest. Daniel has been my brickwall for over 20 yrs so have time now to keep hunting with better resources available these days. If only I asked my grandfather when he was alive and his brothers and sisters about their father Daniel. Fingers crossed something turns up. Many thanks.

Cheers

Hi

Are there census records available in Kymi Huruksela Rysa and Raahe to locate Daniel Henrickson b. 1860. Father maybe Aaron.

Cheers

Hi Velcro...

EDIT:

Big ooops...I waffled on but didn't actually answer your question

LDS mentions the Henkikirjat, 1820-1860 which contains census records of Viipuri county, 1820-1860 including parts of Kymi county (Kymi, Lappee, Parikkala, Hamina and Lappeenranta)

I don't think it's on-line. Will look around

No mention of a census for Raahe.

No mention of records at LDS for Huruksela or Rysa

Lots of words in the following post but no actual help so feel free to just browse :-)

As I understand it the Finnish/Swedish equivalent of a census record is the Rippikirja (Communion Book).

Every year the local clergyman would go around the parish making sure everyone was familiar with the teachings of the church. He would also keep a record of everyone at each residence which would include, at minimum, a name and date of birth. Relationship to the head of the house was often mentioned as well.

If someone had died since his last visit the date of death was also noted.

I've been looking through the "Raahe Rippikirja, 1865-1874" and the "Raahe Rippikirja, 1871-1881" for a mention of Daniel. I had no luck finding him but the way I search may have had something to do with it. I find it easiest to just browse the date of birth column and just check for people born in 1860.

Here's what I mean....

http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/raahe/rippikirja_1871-1881_mko135-137/3.htm

It's easy to just scan the column for 1860 then note the name and date of birth. Sofia born 3rd April, Greta born 18th April and so on.

I'm assuming Daniel's date of birth was 15 Aug 1860 as the Swedes/Finns were really into accurate record keeping.

Have yet to search the "Raahe Rippikirja, 1854-1863". Feel free to jump in :-)

My reasoning for trying to trace Daniel and not Aron is that Daniel's birthdate is the one "definite" piece of information you have.

Patrynomic surnames were still in use in the 1860's so Daniel's surname may have been recorded as ARONSSON. And that's not adding in the fact that a farm or cottage was often include in the surname.

For example...

Marriage of Henrik DANIELSSON RIKALA RAUTOLA and Johanna Sofia JOHANSDOTTER
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F8Y6-1JT

Note Henrik's surname which includes the fact that his father is a Daniel, he (maybe) came from Rikala and the name of his (maybe) farm/occupation is Rautola.

I mention this couple because on 18 Aug 1860 they had a son Daniel. He is the closest I came to a Daniel HENRICKSON b.15 Aug 1860

http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/teisko/syntyneet_1855-1871_tk193/68.htm

-----

Out of interest, as Daniel seems to have changed to his father's surname of HENRICKSON it most likely means that Aron's father was a Henrick, which isn't of much use at the moment but will be important if/when you find a birth record of Daniel.

-----

I followed my own advice from an earlier post and looked through the Finnish birth records for the August 1860 period. Again no luck. Not quite sure what that means. Hopefully just that the record has yet to be scanned.

I've enquired at the Finland Family History Association and the bottom line is that you can't do a name search on their website, member or not. No nominal index as such has been compiled.

With the small amount of info you have and the fact that you're in Australia(?) the only real strategy you have is looking through page after page of birth, confirmation, moving and "census" records for a mention of a Daniel b.15 Aug 1860 or thereabouts.

At least you only have a small time frame to search (1860 to mid-1870's). And I've already done the Aug 1860 births, although you're welcome to re-do them.

Would be handy if you know a few more hands as by all accounts they make work light.

-----

Here is another Finnish website that thankfully does have a nominal index, but unfortunately only holds records up to 1850-ish. It will be helpful once you find Daniel.

But in the meantime if you want to you can look for Aron, son of Henrick. It might lead somewhere. I found 158 possible candidates.

I only managed to trace one of the two brother's mentioned in an earlier post. Matts, who died in 1820. Here is his final mention in the Rippikirja. Note how he's listed as Matts Henrick AROLA, maybe a farm name.

http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/saloinen/rippikirja_1817-1823_va27-29/45.htm

It would be handy to trace the other brother Henrick. Would be handy if he had a son called Aron who had a son called Daniel.

Like I said at the beginning of this post, lots of words but still nothing which breaks the brick wall. Will keep looking.

Dear Beg

Thanks for all those words and going all out to assist me. I feel like I'm going around in circles but will keep hunting. More hands would be helpful can leave that open. As far as i know I'm the only one in the family still researching. Everyone else passed on or given up.
I too found the census site this am but didn't know who I was looking for and also went with the dates.
Will take your advice and look up the sites you suggest.Team work.
The naming system in Finland is very confusing but once you have the correct pple will be able to retrieve a lot of information. I dint mind waffle!

I don't know if this is my Daniel but came across Daniel Henrickson b. 9 Aug Huruksela Rysa parents: Henrik Heikki Henrikkson Rysa 1833-1868 and Ann Maria Syvesterdotter (dotter means daughter does it?) 1837 -1896.Kalamies Farm Anjala Finland.
Old research I had from many years ago just found. Can you assist me to see if this is them??

http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/saloinen/rippikirja_1817-1823_va27-29/45.htm
I will look up as well.
