Jon Jonsson

   Another name for Jon was John Johnsson.⁷⁴¹⁷

  Research Notes:

1. Moving from Gördalen in Särna parish to Eda parish.

- at Eda parish, Jon is recorded as a bookkeeper. I can't find much information on Åmotfors other than it is a part of two areas, Eda and Arvika municipality. I do not know why he came here, or what industries there were at the beginning of the 1900's
- on the page that he is recorded, there are 2 other people recorded as a bookkeeper.

Note: see event notes

- name is recorded as John Johnson, married in 1904 with son, John Ruben; Jon's occupation is a Handelsman

- marriage is also recorded in the Venjan marriage records, EI:6, page 18 number 8; it appears that her father is Alex Gustafsson
- Albertina Gustafsson is recorded as ..... Små..... lärvar... ; actually, små skollärarinna with skollärarinna meaning school teacher and små meaning small or little - refers to a teacher of small children, ie, elementary students

- son John Ruben

- Albertina died 1919
- Jon remarried on 9 Jan 1921 to Erika Eriksdotter, born 1876 at Venjan Parish - notation of Finn so likely her father was born in Finnland

3. 1941 Population register - Jon Jonsson (recorded as John Johnsson) and wife are recorded at Gävunda, Venjan Parish; a couple of lines further down, son John Ruben Johnsson and his family are recorded


4. Death -- date of death and location is unknown. However, he likely died between 1941-1951, since he is recorded in the 1941 Population Register but he is not recorded in the 1950 Sweden Census. He likely died at Gävunda, since this has been his residence since about 1908 (his son continued to live in Gävunda until at least the end of 1960.


I also haven't found a death or location for his second wife, Anna Erika. There is no burial post for either Jon or his first or second wives.
