Sea captain John Andersson from Sweden.

What info would you like and what do you already have. I have traced Johan Alfred to 1905 and can go further if required.

Thats ok, thanks. I have all info from Johan Alfred and up to date.
I now checked and saw that a update has been posted for further info on Kungshamn, meaning I had rather weak data since before.
I try to find Anders Andersson´s origin - paternity and maternity. From there I might trace Johan Andersson easier.

Thanks for your kindness.

According to Anders Andersson's Inventory/Will his brother Olof Andersson from Askum is to be the trustee for the underage children.
So it looks like the Anderssons came from Askum.

Even though most of the records from Askum were destroyed there are some remaining and some transcribed.
All I could find was that Anders was living with Olof Mattias and family in Östra Rörvik. They both owned the farm up until 1856 when Anders left for Kungshamn. I cannot find any names of parents unfortunately or even John for that matter.

I have 2 transcribed records (Husförhörslängder) of Olof and Anders in the same dwelling Dalarne. One from 1850 and the other 1856 in Askum.

Absolutely fantastic, Ian.
Thank you very much. No, I didnt have all the childrens name. Great.
Olof Mattias and Rörvik is something to investigate further.

I now looking if there are a connection between Johan August Andersson born 1844 in Askum (no info. about death), and Johan August Anderson b.1844 (Sweden), mention in London Lloyd Captain register.

Hi
Hmmm. I did see a Johan August Andersson in the Askum transcribed books somewhere........

This is the record:
Utrykes flyttade - 1869 04 06 - Seaman Johan August Andersson born 1844 05 15 - till England - far Anders Olsson.

This date could be the time when the minister wrote him in the "obefintliga boken" and not necessarily the date he left Sweden.
