The Andersdotter Family

Anna Helena Andersdotter

Birth: 19 December 1823, at Grundshammar, Lästringe, Södermanland, Sweden

Baptism: 26 December 1823, in Lästringe, Södermanland, Sweden

Father: Anders Persson

Mother: Anna Lovisa Lundman

Children: Axel was born on 10 April 1852 in Runtuna parish, Södermanland, and baptised there on 15 April, the illigitimate son of Anna Helena Andersotter. The records surrounding the birth are slightly confusing - Axel's birth and baptism are recorded in the Västra Vingåker Födelse- och dopböcker in the regular manner but the birth and baptism is also recorded in a note in the Runtuna Födelse- och dopböcker. The Västra Vingåker Husförhörslängd names Axel's birthplace as Runtuna. My assessment is that Axel was actually born in Runtuna, probably at Ekeby where Anna's parents lived, but that records were also kept in Västra Vingåker where Anna was officially resident at Spånga Qvarn. Axel's Runtuna birth record mentions the miller (mjölnare) at Anna's residence at Spånga Qvarn, Carl Gustaf Johansson, but I cannot decipher enough of the Swedish to know if he is directly named as the father. At this time Anna's parents, Anders Persson and Anna Lovisa Lundman, were living at Ekeby in Runtuna, and the foreman at Ekeby was one of the witnesses at Axel's baptism, so likely Anna had her child at Ekeby or nearby. On 14 December of 1852, Anna and Axel are recorded as leaving Västra Vingåker with a destination of Runtuna, but she does not appear to have registered there and on 10 June 1853 the two returned to Spånga Qvarn where she is recorded as having come from "not written" (icke skrifven). Axel died on 29 September 1853 in Runtuna parish, and was buried there. Again the official record is in the Västra Vingåker parish records with the Västra Vingåker Husförhörslängd naming the place of death and burial as Runtuna.

1852-1853: Runtuna, Södermanland
1853: Spånga Qvarn, Västra Vingåker, Södermanland

Married: Emanuel Larsson on 1 July 1856 in Västra Vingåker, Södermanland, Sweden
Emanuel Larsson is recorded as a a foreman (rättaren) and Anna Helena Andersdotter is recorded as a servant (piga). They are both resident at Söderspånga. The marriage was witnessed by Anders Persson and his wife Anna Lovisa Lundman of Ekeby, Runtuna parish (Anna's parents).

Children: Notes: Anna was born in 1823 at Grundshammar in Lästringe parish, Södermanland where her father worked as a farmhand (statdrängen). In 1825 she moved with her parents to Gärdesta, also in Lästringe parish. In 1828 the family moved to Stora Näs back in Ludgo parish and in 1831 they moved to Sophiælund. In 1835 her father became a tenant farmer (torpare) at Charlottenlund in Ludgo parish where the family lived for six years. In 1840 Anna moved from the family home to Björnlunda parish, then in 1842 she moved to Drämsta back in Lästringe parish where she worked as a servant (piga), then back to her parent's home in Säby in Svärta parish in 1843. From 1844 to 1846 she worked as a piga at Wreta Kåplansgard in Svärta, then in 1846 she moved to Svansta Norrgard in Helgona parish, Södermanland. In 1848 Anna moved to Tredje kvartet No. 54 & 55 in Nyköping Västra parish and in 1850 she moved to Spånga Qvarn in Västra Vingåker parish, still employed as a piga. On 10 April 1852 Anna gave birth to an illegitimate son, Axel Edvard in Runtuna parish. Axel's birth record mentions the miller (mjölnare) at Spånga Qvarn, Carl Gustaf Johansson, but I cannot decipher enough of the Swedish to know if he is directly named as the father. At this time Anna's parents, Anders Persson and Anna Lovisa Lundman, were living at Ekeby in Runtuna, and the foreman at Ekeby was one of the witnesses at Axel's baptism. On 14 December of 1852, Anna and Axel are recorded as leaving Västra Vingåker with a destination of Runtuna, but she does not appear to have registered there and on 10 June 1853 the two returned to Spånga Qvarn where she is recorded as having come from "not written" (icke skrifven). Axel died on 29 September 1853 in Runtuna, and he was buried there. In 1855 Anna moved to Söderspånga, also in Västra Vingåker parish and on 1 July 1856 she married Emanuel Larsson who was a foreman (rättaren) there. They had a daughter in 1857 and in 1858 they moved to Läppe where they had three more children. The family remained at Läppe until 1865 when they moved to Uggelboda and then to Lunda Grindstugan in 1868 and Lunda Frälse in 1870. Anna died at Lunda Frälse on 23 November 1872, of tuberculosis, aged 48.

Death: 23 November 1872, in Västra Vingåker, Södermanland, Sweden, aged 48 years 11 months and 4 days.
The cause of death is listed as tuberculosis (lungsot).

Children: Married: Anders (Johansson) Runman on 25 November 1866 in Runtuna, Södermanland, Sweden
Banns were obtained on 15 October. Anders Runman is recorded as a båtsman, born in 1841, resident at Österberga. Carolina Charl. Andersdr. is recorded as born in 1841, resident at Runtunaby. She has a child, A. F. Ands.

Children: Notes: Carolina Charlotta was born on 3 April 1840 at Charlottenlund, Ludgo parish, Södermanland where her father was a tenant farmer (torpare). In 1841 the family moved to Säby in Svärta parish and in 1846 they moved to Husby, also in Svärta parish, then to Ekeby in Runtuna parish in 1847. In 1856 Carolina moved away from home to work as a servant (piga) at Myra where her elder brother Pehr also worked. In December 1859 Carolina had a son, Carl Alfred, who was born in Lästringe parish (possibly at Lilla Längsjötorp where her mother had grown up and her elder sister Maria now lived) and in 1860 Carolina and Carl moved to Ährsta, also in Runtuna parish. Living at Ährsta at the time was Anna Maria Ersdotter who was to marry Carolina's brother, Pehr in 1863. Carolina and Carl moved to

Österberga Båtsmanstorp in Runtuna in 1861, where Carolina is listed as a "housed servant" (inh[yses] piga). A båtsmanstorp is housing provided by a "ward" (rote) to a navy seaman, and Carolina was a servant to Johan Wilhelm Runman, the båtsman No. 81, who lived there with his wife and four children. Carolina had a second child, Johan Fredrik in 1862, and then lost her first child, Carl, who died in 1863 from whooping cough (kikhosta). In 1865 Carolina and Johan moved to Runtunaby where she continued to work as a servant. Carolina married Anders Runman on 25 November 1866.

Anders was the new båtsman living at Österberga båtsmanstorp, so Carolina moved back to the same residence where she had earlier worked as a servant, now as the wife of the båtsman. Anders's surname is the military name given to him and does not mean he was related to the previous båtsman at Österberga båtsmanstorp, Johan Runman. Carolina's widowed mother, Anna Lovisa Lundman, also moved in to Österberga båtsmanstorp with the newly married couple. Carolina and Johan lived at Österberga Båtsmanstorp for 33 years, until 1899, raising eight more children there. Carolina's mother died in 1891. In 1899 Anders retired and he and Carolina moved to Kesta in Runtuna parish where their son, Karl lived, and then, in 1900, to Brolötstorp l. Norshammar in Svärta parish where one of their daughters, Amanda, lived. At this time, Carolina (or Karolina as it was then spelled) is listed with the surname Andersson rather than Andersdotter. Amanda and her husband moved back to Runtuna parish in 1901 and Anders and Carolina did as well, though not to the same place - they moved to the poorhouse (fattighus) in Runtuna where Anders died in 1902. By 1906, Karolina is listed as the manager (förestånderska) of the fattighus, a postion she held until her death in Nyköping on 10 November 1916. The cause of death is listed as stomach cancer.

Death: 10 November 1916, in Nyköping, Södermanland, Sweden
The cause of death is listed as stomach cancer (cancer ventriculi).

Edla Augusta (Andersdotter, Andersson, Johansson, Runman) Lundberg

Birth: 27 November 1867, at Österberga Båtsmanstorp, Runtuna, Södermanland, Sweden

Baptism: 1 December 1867, in Runtuna, Södermanland, Sweden

Father: Anders (Johansson) Runman

Mother: Carolina Charlotta Andersdotter

Married (1st): Johan August Johansson on 18 October 1890 in Lästringe, Södermanland, Sweden
Banns were read on 21 September, 28 September and 3 October. Johan August Johansson is recorded as born on 13 March 1861. He is a farmhand (dräng), resident at Ekeslöt in Lästringe parish. Edla Augusta Andersson is recorded as born on 27 November 1867. She is a servant (piga) resident at Lilla Långsjötorp.

Johan August Johansson was born on 13 March 1861 at Gustafslund in Lid parish, Södermanland and baptised in Lid on 19 March 1861, the son of torpare Johan Carlsson and Brita Stina Andersdotter. Something occurred to Johan Carlsson at Gustafslund in 1863 about which there is a long note in the Husförhörslängd that I cannot understand and in 1864 the family moved to Ängstugan where Johan is listed as "housed" (inh[yses]) rather than working and in 1866 they are recorded in the Husförhörslängd as being without residence (utan hemvist). This designation continued for Johan Carlsson and Brita until 1878 when they moved to Lindsberg, Johan showing as the torpare, but Johan August moved away from home in 1876, going to Öhrsta No. 3 where he worked as a farmhand (dräng). Johan moved often, working as a dräng, going to Stora Stenbrosäter in Ludgo parish in 1877, Bogstorp in Ripsa parish in 1878, Nybergsäng in 1881, Hällsta in Björnlunda parish in 1882, Liden back in Ripsa in 1883, then Kölsätter in 1884 and back to Öhrsta No. 3 in Lid parish in 1885. In 1886 Johan went to Stora Björndal No. 1 in Tystberga parish and then to Grindstugan in Lästringe parish in 1887 and Ekeslöt also in Lästringe in 1888. He married Edla Augusta Andersson from the next-door farm Lilla Långsjötorp on 18 October 1890 in Lästringe and the couple moved to Estlöth in Sättersta parish. A son, Gustaf was born at Estlöth in 1891 and later that year the family moved to Mosstena in Bälinge parish and in 1893, now with two children, they moved to Kappsta in Lid parish. Johan became ill with kidney disease and his designation was changed from farmhand (statdräng) to [in]hys[es], or "housed" indicating he was no longer able to work. In February 1895 the family moved back to Bälinge parish where they are recorded as being on the welfare of the parish (på socken) and Johan died on 7 March 1895 of kidney disease (ägghitsjukdom). He was buried in Bälinge on 17 March 1895.

Children: Married (2nd): Carl Johan Lundberg on 28 March 1897

Carl Johan was born on 10 May 1859 at Factoriet in Nyköping Västra parish, Södermanland, and baptised in Nyköping Västra on 17 May the son of drängen Johan Waldeman Lundberg and Anna Sophia Andersdotter. In October 1859 the family moved to No. 20 5th Qvarteret in Nyköping Östra parish, where Johan worked as a blacksmith (smedhand) then to No. 15, 4th Qvarteret in 1860, No 26, 27, 28 Första Qvarteret in Nyköping Västra parish in 1863 and No. 34-34½ 4th Qvarteret back in Nyköping Östra parish in 1864. In 1865, in a reverse of the general urbanization trend, Johan and family moved to Runtuna parish where Johan became a tenant farmer (torpare) at Rosenkällen. The family moved to Dahlsätter in Ripsa parish in 1868, where nine year old Carl finally got some stability. He lived there with his parents until 1879 when he moved away from his parents' home, to Holmby. Carl married Johanna Christina Nyström, who also worked at Holmby, on 28 August 1880, and the couple moved to Wärmastugan where Carl is listed as a labourer (arb[ets]k[arl]). Johanna had had a daughter, Ida, shortly before her marriage - Ida was born on 19 June 1880. In 1881 the family moved back to Carl's parent's home at Dalsätter and then to Hvitmossen in 1882 where they added Carl Anton and Johan Edvin to the family. The family moved back to Dalsätter in 1891, probably because Carl's father was ill. Carl is listed as the torpare at Dalsätter and his father is "housed" (inhys[es]) and he died the following year of breast cancer. Carl's mother conyinued to live with them at Dalsätter. Carl's wife, Johanna, died in 1895 and he married Edla Augusta Andersson, a widow with two children, on 28 March 1897. Carl and Edla had a daughter, Elsa, born on 28 February 1897, between the time that Edla moved to Ripsa and their marriage in March, and then two more children born in the new century. The children grew up at Dalsätter and Carl's designation changed from torpare to arrendator reflecting the move to a more modern tenant farming system based on a cash lease rather than paying rent in a number of day's work. In 1907, Carl and Edla fostered Anna Cecilia Lundman who was born on 18 May 1893 and came to them from Spelvik parish in November 1907. Anna returned to Spelvik in 1908. In 1926 Johan and Edla retired and went to live at Hvitmassen where Johan had lived for ten years before returning to Dalsätter. Johan died the next year, on 25 November 1927.

Children: Notes: Edla Augusta was born on 27 November 1867, at Österberga Båtsmanstorp in Runtuna parish, Södermanland, where her father was the båtsman and lived there with her family until 1882 when she moved to Lilla Långsjötorp in Lästringe parish, where she worked as a servant (piga) on the farm of her aunt Maja Kajsa Andersdotter. On 18 October 1890 Edla married Johan August Johansson who worked on the next-door farm Ekeslöt and the couple moved to Estlöth in Sättersta parish. Around this time Edla's surname started to be recorded as Andersson rather than Andersdotter. A son, Gustaf was born at Estlöth in 1891 and later that year the family moved to Mosstena in Bälinge parish and in 1893, now with two children, they moved to Kappsta in Lid parish. Johan became ill with kidney disease and his designation was changed from farmhand (statdräng) to [in]hys[es], or "housed" indicating he was no longer able to work. In February 1895 the family moved back to Bälinge parish where they are recorded as being on the welfare of the parish (på socken) and Johan died in March of that year. Edla and her two young children remained in the care of Bälinge parish until January 1897 when they moved to Ripsa parish and Edla married Carl Johan Lundberg, a widowed torpare at Dalsätter, on 28 March 1897. Carl had lived at Dalsätter since 1891, and his first wife, Johanna, had died in 1895, leaving him with three children ranging in age from eight to fifteen. Carl and Edla had a daughter, Elsa, born on 28 February 1897, between the time that Edla moved to Ripsa and their marriage in March, and then two more children born in the new century. The children grew up at Dalsätter, Carl's designation changed from torpare to arrendator reflecting move to a more modern tenant farming system based on a cash lease rather than paying rent in a number of day's work, and Edla's surname is changed to Runman, her late father's surname although she had not used it until then. In 1907, Carl and Edla fostered Anna Cecilia Lundman who was born on 18 May 1893 and came to them from Spelvik parish in November 1907. Anna returned to Spelvik in 1908. Then in 1914 Carl and Edla fostered Edla's eleven year old niece, Magda Amalia who had been orphaned in 1912, and had been living with another aunt, Gerda, since then. Magda lived at Dalsätter until 1920. In 1926 Johan and Edla retired and went to live at Hvitmassen where Johan died the next year. In widowhood Edla now took the surname Lundberg, and moved to Holmby in 1928 and was still living there in 1936.

Notes: Johanna was born on 12 September 1826 at Gärdesta in Lästringe parish, Södermanland where her father worked as a foreman (rätt[are]). She was the twin sister of Sofia Lovisa Andersdotter. In 1828 the family moved to Stora Näs in Ludgo parish and in 1831 they moved to Sophiælund. In 1835 her father became a tenant farmer (torpare) at Charlottenlund in Ludgo parish where the family lived for six years. In 1840 Johanna moved to her grandparents' farm at Långsjötorp back in Lästringe parish (Pehr Jansson and Cathrina Jansdotter were the foster parents of Johanna's mother, Anna Lovisa Lundgren, and had also fostered Johanna's elder sister, Maria, in 1827. Maria was still living at Långsjötorp in when Johanna came there). Johanna is listed as a maid-servant (tjensteflicka) at Långsjötorp. In 1841 Johanna moved to Ahlsätter, also in Lästringe parish where she worked as a servant (piga), and in 1842 she moved back with her parents who were now living at  Säby in Svärta parish. Johaanna moved to Wäsby in Svärta in 1843, working as a piga, then to Storhus Qvarn in Nyköpings Västra parish in 1845. In 1846 Johanna returned to Lilla Långsjötorp where her grandmother had since died and her grandfather was retired, while Maria and her husband Pehr operated the farm. Johanna worked there as a piga until 1847 when she moved to Långhagen in Vagnhärad parish, then to Klockaregården in Vagnhärad 1848 and Klockaregården in Trosa stadsförsamling in 1851.

In 1856 Johanna moved out of Nyköpings Västra, but I cannot decipher the destination. In 1860, Johanna was a witness at the baptism of her nephew, Carl Alfred, son of her younger sister, Carolina, at which time she is recorded as living in Stockholm.

also spelled Maria Katarina Andersdotter, Maja Cajsa Andersdotter and Maja Kajsa Andersdotter

Birth: 14 February 1822, at Längsjötorp, Lästringe, Södermanland, Sweden

Baptism: 17 February 1822, in Lästringe, Södermanland, Sweden

Father: Anders Persson

Mother: Anna Lovisa Lundman

Married (1st): Lars Petter Larsson on 1 January 1846 in Lästringe, Södermanland, Sweden
Lars Petter Larsson is recorded as a dräng and Maja Cajsa Andersdotter is recorded as a fosterdotter. Both are from Längsjötorp.

Children: Married (2nd): Anders Fredrik Persson on 30 December 1858 in Lästringe, Södermanland, Sweden
Anders Fredrik Persson  is recorded as a torpare, aged 28, and Maja Cajsa Andersdotter is recorded as a widow (enka), aged 36, from Lilla Långsjötorp.

Anders was born on 26 November 1829 at Sörtuna, Västerljung, Södermanland and baptised on 28 November the son of Anna Catharina Andersdotter. His father, Pehr Olsson had been the farmer (bondare) at Sörtuna until he died on 29 June 1829, five months before Anders' birth. The family remained at Sörtuna until 1837 when they moved to Tuna Storstugan until 1840 when Anders and his mother moved back to Sörtuna, or Södertuna. In 1846 Anders left his mother's home, going to Stockvik in Vagnhärad parish where he worked as a farmhand (dräng), then moving to Hokeberga in 1847 where he is listed as a servant (tjenstare). In 1848 Anders moved to Trosa parish where he appears to have stayed until 1857 when we pick up his trail moving from Trosa to Luthebol in Vagnhärad parish where he worked as a dräng. In 1858 Anders married the recently widowed Maja Cajsa Andersdotter of Lilla Längsjötorp in Lästringe parish, and he became the torpare there. Maja's son, Carl, died in 1861. Anders and Maja farmed at Lilla Längsjötorp until Anders retired in 1895. In 1869, Anders and Maria fostered her 15-year old nephew, Alfred Hjalmar Andersson who was the son of Maria's sister, Sophia Lovisa Andersdotter. Alfred took the surname Ahlberg in 1879 and lived at Lilla Längsjötorp until 1880 when he enrolled at the Södermanland County Agricultural School at Väderbrunn in Bergshammar parish. He eventually emigrated to the United States in 1896 to join his mother and her new husband there. Anders and Maja continued to farm at Lilla Längsjötorp until Anders retired in the early 1890's. They remained on the farm until their deaths - Maja died in 1905 and Anders died on 22 February 1907. The cause of his death is listed as old age insanity (ålderdoms skrögslighet). Anders was buried in Lästringe on 1 March 1907.

Notes: Maria was born in 1822 at Längsjötorp in Lästringe parish, Södermanland, the home of mother's parents. The next year she moved with her parents to the nearby farm of Grundshammar and in 1825 to Gärdesta, also in Lästringe parish. In 1827, Maria went back to her grandparent's home at Längsjötorp where she remained even when her parents moved away to Stora Näs in Ludgo parish. At Längsjötorp Maria is listed as the foster daughter (fosterdotter) of Pehr Jansson and Cathrina Jansdotter, who had also fostered her mother, Ann Lovisa Lundman. In some records, Maria is recorded as "M. Cath. Andersdr", so perhaps she used the name Catherina rather than Maria. In 1840 one of Maria's sisters, Johanna Christina, came to Längsjötorp for a year. In 1844 her foster mother, Cathrina died. On 1 January 1846 Maria married Lars Petter Larsson, who had been a farmhand (dräng) on Längsjötorp since 1838. Her grandfather Pehr retired and Lars became the tenant famer (torpare) at Lilla Längsjötorp. Pehr died in 1847 and Maria was widowed when Lars died in 1855. Maria then married Anders Fredrik Persson in 1858 and Anders became the torpare at Lilla Längsjötorp. In 1860, Maria and Anders were witnesses at the baptism of her nephew, Carl Alfred, son of her sister Carolina, in Runtuna parish. Carl had been born on 31 December 1859 in Lästringe parish, quite possibly at Längsjötorp. Maria's only child, Carl, died in 1861. In 1869, Anders and Maria fostered her 15-year old nephew, Alfred Hjalmar Andersson who was the son of Maria's sister, Sophia Lovisa Andersdotter. Alfred took the surname Ahlberg in 1879 and lived at Lilla Längsjötorp until 1880 when he enrolled at the Södermanland County Agricultural School at Väderbrunn in Bergshammar parish. He eventually emigrated to the United States in 1896 to join his mother and her new husband there. Anders and Maria continued to farm at Lilla Längsjötorp until Anders retired in the early 1890's.

Father: Anders Persson

Mother: Anna Lovisa Lundman

Children: Married: Johan Petter Kjellen on 8 November 1872 in Skövde stadsförsamling, Skaraborg, Sweden
Banns were read on 20 October. Johan Petter Kjellen is recorded as a journeyman tanner (garfv[are] ges[äll]), born in 1833 and resident at F. No. 33. Soffia Lovia Andersson is recorded as born in 1826, resident at F. No. 11.

Johan was born Johan Petter Andersson on 22 December 1833 at Stora Tholsby in Kyrkefalla parish, Skaraborg county, and baptised the same day in Kyrkefalla, the son of Anders Gustaf Svensson and Maria Greta Johansdotter. He lived with his family at Stora Tholsby until 1853 when he moved to Assarby Säteri where he worked as a farmhand (dräng) until 1856 when he moved to Lanna Nordgården in Warola parish. In 1860 Johan moved to Mariestad, and changed his surname to Kjellen. He lived at No. 42 4th Rote and his occupation is listed as a journeyman tanner (garfv[are] ges[äll]). In 1861 Johan moved to Rådhus qvartet in Östhammar parish, Stockholms län, then to Lindormen No. 2 in Uppsala in 1862 and No. 24 1st roten in the town of Skövde back in Skaraborg in 1863. Johan lived at 24 1st roten for nine years, working as a journeyman tanner (garfvare ges[äll]). In 1872 Johan married Sofia Lovisa Andersdotter on 8 November 1872 moving to live as a couple at No. 19 1st rote in 1873. Thy moved to No. 78 in 3rd rote in 1876 and then to No. 19 in 1st rote in 1880. Johan and Sofia emigrated to America in March 1882 where Johan became John. Although the Husförhörslängd and Flyttningslängder state that both of them emigrated in 1872, census records in the United States show Johan emigrating in 1878/9 and Sophia following in 1882, but I have not actually found John in the 1880 census). John and Sophia had made their way to Leland, Michigan on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, by at least April 1896, when they are recorded living there when Sophia's son, Alfred and his wife and daughter joined them there.

  —A. H. Ahlberg, wife and daughter of Stockholm, Sweden, arrived on the steamer Tiger Tuesday evening. Mr. Ahlberg is a son of P. J. Kjellen of this village.

Sophia and John are in Leland in the 1900 census. The aging couple were still living in Leland in 1910, and must have eventually patched up an earlier legal dispute with Alfred and Josephina - they are "boarding" at Alfred's farm in Garfield township in 1920. John died on 26 January 1921 at the County Infirmary, Garfield township, Grand Traverse county, Michigan. The cause of death is listed as senile arterial sclerosis. He was buried on 28 January in Oakwood cemetery, Traverse City, Michigan. The grave is in 2nd Addition Block 174.

Notes: Sofia was born on 12 September 1826 at Gärdesta in Lästringe parish, Södermanland where her father worked as a foreman (rätt[are]). She was the twin sister of Johanna Christina Andersdotter. In 1828 the family moved to Stora Näs in Ludgo parish and in 1831 they moved to Sophiælund. In 1835 her father became a tenant farmer (torpare) at Charlottenlund in Ludgo parish where the family lived for six years. In 1841 the family moved to Säby in Svärta parish. In 1842, Sofia moved from home to Björkhult in Svärta parish where she worked as a piga. In 1845 she moved to Bondby in Stigtomta parish and the next year to Lilla Fäbro, also in Stigtomta, then to Öllesta in Lunda parish, Södermanland in 1847 and later that year to Skena in Lunda parish, recorded as a piga in all these places. Sofia moved in 1848 to No. 32 4th Kvarteret in Nyköpings Östra parish, then, in 1851 to Nos. 23 and 24, Första Qvarteret in Nyköpings Västra and Nos. 56, 57 and 57½ Andra Qvarteret in Nyköpings Västra in 1852. In 1854 Sofia moved to Nos. 9 & 10, Andra Qvarteret where she gave birth to a son, Alfred Hjalmar on 18 December 1854. Sofia and Alfred moved to No. 7, Tredje Qvarteret in 1855 and to No. 4, 4th Qvarteret in Nyköpings Östra parish in 1858, and in 1859 to Nos. 34 and 35 in Andra Qvarteret back in Nyköpings Västra. In 1860, Sofia and her son moved to Marieberg in Grödinge parish, Stockholms län, Sofia working as a piga, then to Stockholm city in 1862. In 1865 Sofia moved from Stockholm to Stora Husgärdet in Skärv parish, Skaraborg county where she is listed as a housekeeper (hush[ållerska]), but Alfred did not make this move with her, and his whereabouts are unclear until he was fostered by Sophia's elder sister, Maria Catharina Andersdotter in 1869, and he went to live with her family at the farm Lilla Längsjötorp in Lästringe, Södermanland. In 1870 Sofia moved to the town of Skövde in Skaraborg, living at No. 11 in the 1st rote and now listed as a servant (piga). She married a tanner, Johan Petter Kjellen in Skövde on 8 November 1872, living with him at No. 19 1st rote in 1873. The couple moved to No. 78 in 3rd rote in 1876 and then back to No. 19 in 1st rote in 1880. Johan and Sofia emigrated to America in March 1882 (although the Husförhörslängd and Flyttningslängder state that both of them emigrated in 1872, census records in the United States show Johan emigrating in 1878/9 and Sophia following in 1882, but I have not actually found John in the 1880 census). John and Sophia had made their way to Leland, Michigan on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, by at least April 1896 when they are recorded living there when Sophia's son, Alfred and his wife and daughter joined them there. Sophia and John are in Leland in the 1900 census. In 1905 a dispute arose between Alfred and his mother and stepfather, which resulted in a legal finding in favor of John and Sophia Kjellen and the seizure and sale of Alfred's property in Michigan, including his farm in Centerville township.
