in AI:5a
Halvard, page 124, Föne, house of M. Ingeborg Olsdotter b 1700; comes fr page 119 and goes to
page 19, at farm Storbÿn, house of Olof Olsson b 1693 and Anna Persdtr born 1718
[ he maybe comes and goes about 1769 ]
on page 19, name is recorded as Hals[f]vard Nils Bröger born 9 Dec 1751
and then in the column "Omflåndighet" some comments, but hard to read:
"… …. af 5 June och … till … … … i Sveaborg … " ???? [ under years, 1770, age 19]
Sveaborg was a 'sea fortress' at Helsenki starting in 1750 to about 1790 (40 yrs].
Built under Swedish rule of Finland and was a result of the wars with Russia in
the earlier 1700's. There is a number of references from a google search

then, page 119, Föne, house of Eric Michelsson b 1711 and Karin Månsdotter born 1718]; then p 124
'96 the above Erik Michelsson '96 he is NOT related; his death was in 1789 and death record shows that his father was Michel Jönsson; checked wife, but her death records does not name her parents.

then he goes to page 124, Föne [farm M. H. Ingeborg Olsdotter, b 1700; she is likely a widow]

- in DII:2, Nils is not recorded after 1760



On DISBYT:

one person, Gustaf Whillhelm Bröjer born 1732 [born in Hallen, Jämtland; Lillian Bäckström, with last update, 28 Jan 2014], and another with same name and date, but born in Oviken, Jämtland [Benny Strand, last update, 3 Sep 2017] [ Oviken birth records: C:1, 1705-1732, page 81, born 1 Jan 1732 ]


And then,
Nils Jöran Bröjer, but born 1728 at Hallen, Jämtland [Lillian Bäckström], and another, with same name and date of 1728, but born in Oviken, Jämtland [Benny Strand] [ Oviken birth records: C:1, 1705-1732, page 67 no 17, born 3 Nov 1728; parents Lieutenant Bröjer and Martha Regina Güllenssarre or maybe Güllensparre ]

And then,

Per Nilsson Bröjer, born 1759 at Färila, [from Gunnar Larsson, Frösthult Måtteby 1, 749 71 FJÄRDHUNDRA, Last updated: 2001-09-02 and Email gunnar@forngren.com <mailto:gunnar@forngren.com> ] both Lillian Bäckström and Benny Strand
--- Margareta Catharina Bröjer, born 1724 [sister ???]; and they both record, Rudolf Henrich Bröjer, born 1733 and died 1733 they both record, Hedevig Sophia Bröjer, born 1734 and died 1734 they both record, Fromholt Johan Bröjer, born 1728 [Lillian] and 1730 [Benny], b 17 Dec 1730, page 73 no 4;

Oviken birth records: C:1, 1705-1732, page 73 ]] they both record, Carl Frederic Bröjer, born 1727 [ Oviken birth records: C:1, 1705-1732, page 61 no 6; this record does not record name of father, but her name Martha Regina Gyldensparre (Güllenssarre) they both record, Adolf Reinhold Bröjer, born 1736 and died 1736 Benny Strand records, Henrik Bröjer, born 1751 in Oviken then, they both record Hindrich Christian Bröjer born 1683 in Stockholm; married 1722 in Stockholm and died 1741 in Oviken [Benny Strand] [Lillian Bäckström in Hallen] *** is this the father of our Nils Bröjer - Yes ?; the above given names are likely German in ancestry; mother, Marta Güllenssarre


8. RE: brother, Gustaf Whillhelm Bröjer born 1732

died: 3 May 1807 [ F:2, image 5, no 10 ]
- his parents Lieutanent Henr Christiab Bröjer and Märta Regina Gyllensparre.



9. Death: Färila (X) F:1 (1752-1806) Image 111, no 26; 1788

- the above death record is a bit confusing; it doesn't seem to record the actual place of death; uses the phrase "...dödde i Vatusot" - this seems to indicate a place, but I think actually refers to a disease - "died of Vatusot [drospy ; lungs fill of fluid ??]
- generally at this time frame, if a location is recorded it is recorded as "död på...." died at .....


10. Family search family tree; basics, but with some information does not correspond

KCGK-XNC - Nils Bröijer
KHCK-PTL - Karin Halvarsdotter

son Halvard - born and died 1751; but see above - AI:5a - Halvard, page 124, "… …. af 5 June och … till … … … i Sveaborg … " ???? [ under years, 1770, age 19]

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Birth - 1728, 3 Nov 1728, Oviken, Jämtland län, Sweden. ⁸⁰⁸⁹ The Oviken parish records notes that his birth was on 3 Nov 1728 and this is likely the most accurate since it is recorded close the date of the actual event. Most of the other records, including the Household examintation books and his death record note that he was born 14 Nov 1727 (death record). There is about a 1 year difference, and could be an error.

On the DISBYT most of the records note is birth as 1728 (Benny Strand) but some record birth in Hallen, Jämtland (for awhile from about 1916-1939, Oviken and Hallen were one parish, but in earlier years, at least from the 1740's and prior to this the area was under Jämtland län's responsibility.

2. Residence, 1735-1744, 1735-1744, Oviken, Jämtland län, Sweden. ⁸⁰⁹⁵ Farm/village: Västnär. Corp Nils Bröijer is recorded starting in 1735 and until 1744 (not recorded in the last col, reflecting 1745). In 1735 he would have been age 7 or 8 and by 1744 he would have been about age 16.

3. Migration - 1749, 22 Dec 1749, Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden. ⁸⁰⁹⁶ Nils Bröijer arrived at Färila parish (from Oviken in Jämtland) on 22 Dec 1749, and on 8 Jan 1750 he was married to Karin Halsvarotter (b 1725) from Föne. Oviken is about 200 kms north of Färila (and is about 100 kms north of Ytterhogdal in Jämtland). It is likely that he was or was going to be stationed in the Föne area; it is likely that his soldiering had brought him to this area prior to his marriage (perhaps there was some type of connection between his father, Henrik Cristain Bröijer and her father, Halsvar Zachrisson Hjelte?). Note that there are no 'moving-out' records from Oviken for the 1749 period.

4. Residence, 1750-1781, 1750-1781, Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden. ⁸⁰⁸⁶ Village: Föne. Föne is the most likely residence for Nils J Bröijer, although on most of the household records he is recorded under the section "Soldater".

Nils married Karin Halvarsdotter, daughter of Halfvard Zackrisson Hjelte and Cherstin Halvarsdotter, on 8 Jan 1750 in Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden.⁸⁰⁸⁴ (Karin Halvarsdotter was born on 7 Jul 1725 in Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden ^8085,8086 and died on 9 Feb 1795 in Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden ⁸⁰⁸⁷.)

  Noted events in their marriage were:

1. Marriage, 1750, 8 Jan 1750, Färila, Gävleborg län, Sweden. ⁸⁰⁸⁴ The Färila parish records note that their marriage was on 8 Jan 1750 and it is likely this is the most accurate since it's recording is near the actual event. Some other household records and Karin Halsvarsdotter's death record notes their marriage as 1751.
