Helja Svensdotter

   Another name for Helja was Helja Nilsdotter.⁵⁷¹⁹

  Research Notes:

1. Birth records name father as Sven Nilsson, thus she would be Helja Svensdotter although her marriage record spells her name as Helja Svånsdotter

- name on Ancestry tree is 'Nilsdotter';

- DISBTY database entry with birth 1800 in Östmark (no other information); Göran Rydquist; Last updated: 2016-12-02
also records Helja's father as Sven Nilsson (b. 1766, d. 1855, at Östmark); married in 1820 to Karin Jönsdotter (b. -, d. 1818); However, this is the wrong marriage date for Sven Nilsson



2. Household records: Östmark


Östmark (S) AI:15 (1851-1855) Image 297 / Page 294, Långerud Östmark
top of page is Sven Svensson b 1797 and family;
then, at the bottom line is:
Sven Nilsson, born 14 Sep 1766, död, 1854
actual death: 15 Feb 1755, burial 25 Feb 1755, [ Östmark (S) CI:3 (1821-1860) Image 360 / Page 711, 2nd side]
BUT this record notes he died at the age of 88 years, 5 months, and 1 day, meaning his birth would
have been, 14 Sep 1766 - this is NOT correct since his birth was 14 Jun 1766

Östmark (S) AI:14 (1846-1850) Image 303 / Page 295, Långerud Östmark
top of page is Sven Svensson b 1797 married to Catharina Olsdotter b 1803 at Östmark; and family

mid page is Sven Nilsson b 1766 and hust Marit Arvidsdotter b 1767 - she died 1847 [her death record, Östmark (S) CI:3 (1821-1860) Image 338 / Page 667, 2nd side no 57]

Östmark (S) AI:13 (1841-1845) Image 124 / Page 118, Långerud Östmark
same as vol AI:14

Östmark (S) AI:12 (1836-1840) Image 120 / Page 115, Långerud Östmark
top of page is Sven Svensson b 1797 and married to Marit Andersdotter b 1798, but she died 1836
and then Sven Svensson remarried to Katharina Olsdotter b 1803 and she has at least 3 children living with them at Långerud


Östmark (S) AI:11 (1830-1835) Image 109 / Page 104, Långerud Östmark
- top of page is Sven Svensson b 1797 and his family; and then after his family and a bit of space is:

fadr. Sven Nilsson, b 1766 along with wife, Marit Arvidsdotter b 1767
and then 5 names below him, is:
enken Nils Ivarsson b 1740 with is name crossed off and then to the left a few columns, "död, 1829"

Östmark (S) AI:10 (1826-1830) Image 51 / Page 45, Långerud Östmark
top of page, Sven Nilsson b 1766 [no one else recorded on the next line] ; I'm not sure why Marit Arvidsdotter is not recorded, but this volume seems to be organised a bit different
then, Sven Svensson b 1797 and his family

- about mid-page, is enken Nils Ivarsson b 1740


Östmark (S) AI:9 (1821-1827) Image 233 / Page 227, Långerud
- Sven Nilsson b 1766 [given name is spelled Svan or more likely Svän]
wife (see marriage of 1820 record below), Marit Arvidsotter b 1767 moves to p 213 - Långerud (no 12) but I'm not clear why she moved ???

- then, son Jon Svensson b 1789 is on page 228 Långerud (no 35)
and on the next line is his sister, Kjerstin Nilsdotter 1787 ?? - the next column, 'orten' is syster, maybe fr his sister's place????
and then, a number of children - one child is son Sven, b 6 Apr 1813 and his birth (CI:1, p 253 no 28) records parents as Jon Svensson and Kjerstin Nilsdotter in Långerud
- also on page 227, is Sven Nilsson's (b 1766) son, Sven Svensson (b 1797) married to Marit Andersdotter b 1798, and 3 children are recorded (and it looks like Sven Svensson took over the home farm

- about mid-page on 227, is enken Nils Ivarsson b 1740

Östmark (S) AI:8 (1816-1820) Image 169 / Page 159, Långerud
Karin Jönsdotter b 1763 died 1818; [ there are some missing death records - vol CI:1 only has deaths/burials to the end of 1810; the next vol CI:2 only records births (no deaths), and the next vol CI:3 records deaths starting for the year 1821

Sven Nilsson is remarried to Marit Arvidsdotter [?] b 1767

and then Nils Ivarsson's wife, Karin Svensdotter b 1741 died 1821
marriage record Östmark (S) CI:1 (1765-1818) Image 168 / Page 343, 2nd side no 1; 2 Jun 1820

*** note there are 4 FT on Disbyt that record Marit Arvidsdotter b 1767 died 1847 and married to Sven Nilsson b 1766; these also suggest that a son was Sven Svensson, but he is not a son of Marit Arvidsdotter
*** AND another 4 FT on Disbyt that her father was Arvid Jonnsson b 1727 Fryksände, married 1748 to Britta Persdotter born 1728 at Östmark; Arvid died 1794 at Östmark parish; one of these trees records her first marriage to Olof Jansson (likely Jonsson) b 1747 at Östmark and died 1812, Östmark - they had 8 children, all born in Östmark

******** Disbyt FT for Ivar Nilsson born 1713 ******
- Ken Alexis Bergman - website a bit more information: http://www.kenalexis.se/pd1aa3199.html ;; Kenneth Alexis Bergman

- records son's birth (Nils Ivarsson) as 1741;
- Ivar Nilsson b 1713 first married to Karin Olofsdotter in 1739 (b 1720, d 1743) and then married again in 1748 and then again on 1759
BUT one that seems to be more complete is Roger Olof Holmstrand (id # 5430; updated 28 Feb 2017
- has him married in 1739 to Karin Olofsdotter and their son was Nils Ivarsson b 1741; and then she died 1743
likely died 5 Jan 1743 [Fryksände (S) CI:2 (1733-1749) Image 157 / Page 301]
- then has him married in 1748 to Brita Engelbreksdotter b 1719 and died 1758 (in Östmark) ; their children
include Halsten, Gertrude, Per, Engelbrek [see Fryksände (S) AI:5, page 163; but there is a missing
death/burial book, for the years 1750-1763 and none in Östmark parish records

Östmark (S) AI:7 (1811-1815) Image 141 / Page 135, Långerud

- as below

Östmark (S) AI:6 (1806-1811) Image 134 / Page 127, Långerud

as below; re; Sven Nilsson b 1766 family
- at the mid page is Sven Nilsson's daughter, Karin Svensdotter (b 1787) and son-in-law, Ernest [???] Larsson born 1777 and a reference to page 126, also Långerud
- towards the bottom Karin has son, Lars b 1807 and a daugther, Marit b 1810
- on top of page 126 is Ernest Larsson b 1777 parents

about mid page is
Nils Ivarsson b 1840 and wife, Karin Svensdotter b 1741 - in this record it is clear that the priest wrote that she is "blind" - earlier books make a comment, but handwriting is harder to read


Östmark (S) AI:5 (1800-1806) Image 105 / Page 99, Långerud

Östmark (S) AI:4 (1794-1799) Image 88 / Page 82, Långerud;
- in col "Ut... Ort" (col 5) there is an abbreviation "abs" which likely means 'not present', but I don't understand the context

as above


Östmark (S) AI:3 (1788-1793) Image 82 / Page 77, Långerud


- as above although, there are two other sons born, born to Nils Ivarsson b 1740
- from the record, 'our' Sven Nilsson b 1766 appears to be the oldest in the family of Nils Ifvarsson (b 1740) - the spelling has the double letters 'fv', that latter is changed to the letter 'v'. The first letter in this record is clearly " I " (not l, as in 'l' in the word letter); in latter records it almost looks like a "J"

actual birth: 14 Jun 1766 [Östmark (S) CI:1 (1765-1818) Image 7 / Page 5, no 38]
