Maria Jonsdotter

  Research Notes:

1. Summary: Maria Jonsdotter, b 1779; daughter of Jon Philipsson (b 1721)

As my research notes indicate, Maria Jonsdotter had a son who went by the name of "Karl Johan Grahn". He was born on 28 March 1811 at the farm/village of Granträst in Lycksele parish, Västerbotten. The birth/baptism record records that Karl Johan was born "oäkta", meaning 'born outside of marriage'. Karl Johan's father is not known.

Maria Jonsdotter and her son lived with Maria's father at Granträst until 1830 when she moved to a neighboring parish (Frederika) to work at the farm of Olof Olofsson (Lögda). After Olof Olofsson's first wife died (in 1833), Olof and Maria were married. It appears that in 1834 they moved to another nearby parish (Bjurholm) where they are recorded along with Maria's son Karl Johan Grahn.

Maria Jonsdotter died on 31 Oct 1838 at Bjurholm parish. Her death/burial record records that she died of "fever" at the age of 59. Her husband died about 2 weeks later on 12 Nov, also due to a fever.

2. Lycksele Household records


Note: there appears to be a volume of Household records missing for Lycksele. Volume AI:3, 1767-1789 for Lycksele on Arkivdigital or Riksarkivet includes only those individuals known as Lapplanders or Sami in Lycksele parishes. Villages such as Östräst or Granträst are NOT included in this volume. I am not clear why this is the case.

Therefore, the next available vol for Lycksele and the farms villages of my ancestors is volume AI:4.
