Johan (John) Andersson´s brother Anders Andersson b.1826-06-20 (parish, which place of birth will be the same as John; ?), d.1871-04-19 in Kungshamn (Gravarne). Marriage; Karolina Johannesdotter b.1831-10-14 Hamburgsund, Bohuslän. Their child Johan Alfred Andersson (patronymikon the same for him), which is my great grandfathers father, b.1858-04-03 - d.1896 Bäckewik, Kungshamn. They had another child, Paulinus, who only lived for 4 years.

To add; Gravarne, Tången and Bäckewik merge to a town which after 1910 got the name Kungshamn.

I am quite sure Johan was much younger than Anders. He could have been born around 1830. Anders was a carpenter and fisherman, and Johan took off in early years to learn sea navigation...and the meeting with his nephew and family was briefly appr. 1895.
This Sea captain John had also with him "English marmelades and nicely decorated English canned food. Was also active in the English Methodist church".

I am planning a book about what I found about my relatives, so John Andersson would be a nice add.
Thomas.

The birth number I got from my greatgrandfathers book. Whereas the date of death I got the same as yours, from the census. I question the birth dates I have given of Anders and Karolina (Carolina) since I do not sit with the census information.
Thanks

They had 6 children including Johan Alfrid b. 3 April 1858. No Paulinus that I can see.

What book are you refering to? That information seems correct.

I have the whole family now. The parish Anders arrived from to Kungshamn was Askum. Anders may have been born there but the books were also destroyed in a fire.

I have access to the Swedish Church Books and many other databases.
