Thanks for the offer Ian. I am trying to find the birth record for my 4th great-grandmother Juliana Jonsdotter and / or her son Jonas Magnusson (my 3rd great-grandfather). He is believed to be the son of Magnus Magnusson. DNA confirms the Magnus Magnusson heritage.
I've included the information I have on Juliana below. Any help much appreciated.
Later in his life Jonas Magnusson changed to the name Jonas Magnusson Nylander; Nylander is my maiden name.
Thanks in advance,
Linda from Canada
She was born 21 May 1802 – no birth record; date from parish records and death record; location unknown
Death: 30 Nov 1885 in Lund, Hällesjö, Jämtland, Sweden
Alternate name: On her daughter Sigrid Lisa’s birth record, she uses the name Gahle which was a commonly used alternative to Juliana.
Little is known about Juliana. At some time between 1817 and 1827 she lived at Kyrko-Rotan Stafre (Stavre?) in the Revsund Parish of Jämtland. The text on the record seems to indicate she went to Borgsjö in 1827 or came from there - the image on Ancestry is very difficult to read.
Her son Jonas Magnusson (my 3rd great-grandfather) is also on this record with a birthdate of 1824. Later, somewhere between 1826 and 1835, she was living in the pauper’s house in Ljungå and her young son Jonas was probably working elsewhere as a farm hand.
Her fortunes did improve. On 10 Jan 1836 she married a farmhand Eric Olsson in Lund, Hällesjö, Jämtland, Sweden. After his death, the records show her living with Jonas Magnusson and his wife Brita Marta.
