Swedish HELP Please! Andrew Fredrick Hillstrand Parents????

[buffa]

Andrew and his Birthdays.... His WW1 Draft Card has him born 16 Jan 1883 and on his Death Certificate it has 16 Jan 1881....starting to wonder if there are more then one Andrew Fredrick Hillstrand?

Thanks jorose...it seems that Andrew and Marie might have been living at two different addresses on that 1905 Census doesn't it. Wish I could find the Divorce filings?

OK, I have gone back through the birth records for both Stenkyrka's, and checked from 1880 to 1883, but no Anders.
Buffa, are you able to attach an image of any document showing his birthplace? If he did not fill it out himself, but verbally gave the information, it might be an alternative spelling of somewhere else. I can then compare it to the parishes on arkivdigital for you.

Hi Pinefamily

This is driving me nuts...I can't remember where I found that info on Andrew/Anders being born in Helge, Stenkyrka, Sweden.

I attached that several years ago....I thought it was from his WW1 Draft card but that only had Sweden on it.

Hi
Do you still need help with this?
I think I have found him in the Swedish Church books.

Here is an entry of a Anders Hellstrand on the way to Minnesota from Gothenburg. He was 20 years old and from Gagnef which is not too far from Falun.
This Anders was born 16 January 1881 but with the name Anders Johan Hellstrand.

Hi again...

Here is Anders in the Church Book in 1901, the same year he left for USA. His mother is Brita Andersdotter who was a mute and deaf. Anders was illegitimate. Anna Jakobsdotter is Brita's mother.

I have found all other records to do with this family. I am pretty sure it is him and if you want more please let me know.
