Kristina Nilsdotter

  Research Notes:

Kristina's birth and birth location is not confirmed
- the Zion Lutheran Church record for the Gustaf Bonstrom family, records that she was born on 11 Dec 1857 in Fryksände parish
- looking at Fryksände parish births, there is a record [CI:6, image 173, 2nd side] - Kjerstin Nilsdotter, b 15 Dec 1857; parents Nils Jonsson and Miarl Nilsdotter
then: Household records:

Fryksände (S) AI:23 (1856-1860) Page 253, Ohley [Oley]
Nils Jonsson, b 1813 at Ohley, Fryksände
wife Marit Nilsdotter, b 1812, Vitsand, Fryksände
... 4 siblings
daugther Kjerstin b 15 Nov 1857 [different date from birth record]

then, following through, she moves on 28 Oct 1875 to Lysvik parish [Fry.. moving out, B:3, p 128]
- she works for about 1 years on a farm/home/village of Östra Berga
and then on 28 Oct 1878 she moves back to Fryksände parish [Fry.. moving in, B:3, page 133 no 13] and to her parents home at Oley [AI:31, page 319]

And then she leaves to North America, 27 Jun 1879 [Fry... moving out, B:3, page 160 no 38] and it seems that she is traveling with Johannes Nilsson and his wife and Per Nilsson (b 17 Aug 1845] from Oley - they are NOT brothers to Kerstin

NOTE: many Family Trees on Ancestry record her birth as Dec 1858 - same date as recorded on findagrave ... but no person born at that time. Also the Zion Lurtheran Church record records her birth as 11 Dec 1857 and she arrived at Buffalo or Buffalo Twp in 1879
