Maja Engelbretsdotter

   Another name for Maja was Maria Engelbrecktsdotter.

  Research Notes:

1. Name: the Östmark birth/baptism record her name as "Maija", although some of the Östmark household record records name her as "Maria". The Geni.com FT includes the spelling of Maria (along with Maja) and one Disbyt family tree, spells the name as Maja. Other household records in other parishes record her name as "Maja". The spelling of Engelbretsdotter also varies through the parish records and FT's.

- records married/relationship with Anders Eriksson, b 1842 at Stora Tuna, Kopparberg
and Maja Engelbrektsdotter b 1826 died in 1900 at Falun, Kopparberg
and one daughter Anna Elisabeth Eriksson b 1871 at Falun [ m. with children, surname Hedström ]


2. A brief summary:

Maja Engelbrektsdotter married 8 Oct 1870 at Falu Kristine to Anders Eriksson who was born on 19 Nov 1842 in Stora Tuna, Kopparberg. At some point, possibly around 1881, he went to North America, but Maja did not. Records show that he came back to Sweden and then went back to America in 1887 although there is no indication in the Swedish records of a specific place. In Falu Kristine parish household records (volume AI:43) it is implied that he died in America sometime before 1900.

Maja Engelbrektsdotter (b 1826) continued to live at Falu Kristine parish and she died in Jan 1898 (the above FT records death in 1900).

Birth date discrepancy: the Östmark birth/baptism record clearly records her birth as 10 Feb 1826. However in the household record volume (AI:14, 1846-1850, p. 284, Långerud) her birth is recorded as 1823. It is most likely that the priest made a mistake recording 1823 rather than her actual birth in 1826. The mistaken birth year of 1823 is continued through the parish records. And by 1867 her birth is now recorded as 5 Feb 1823, rather than 10 Feb (Falu Kristine AI:30 (1867-1876) p. 233, Öfre Elsborg). Since the Östmark birth/baptism was recorded close to the actual baptism, then it is likely to be the most accurate, and therefore I have recorded this date as her birth in my Legacy database.

As the various household records note, Maja Engelbrektsdotter (b 1826) moved a number of times in various parishes throughout central Sweden:
Östmark1826-1850
Grava1850-1854about 100 kms south of Östmark
Lima1855-1864about 120 kms north-east of Östmark
Stora Tuna1864-1869about 220 kms east of Östmark
Falu Kristine1869-1898about 230 kms east of Östmark or about 25 kms north-east of Stora Tuna

Maja Engelbrektsdotter (b 1826) first had a relationship and a daughter (born outside of marriage) named Maria Kristina (Eriksson). In 1870 she married Anders Eriksson and they had a daughter named Anna Elisabeth Eriksson. A simple modified chronological record:

1 Engelbret Engelbretsson1784-1841
