Alma Josefina Carlsson Has Been Found Too

In a previous post, I shared the exciting news that I found little Frans Gustaf Carlsson in a Sweden Household Examination Book. He was the son my 2nd great-granduncle and aunt, Carl Gustaf Carlsson and Anna Katarina Persdotter. I also mentioned in that post that I had also found a previously unknown to me daughter of Carl and Anna.

Today I'd like to share information about this daughter. Her name was Alma Josefina Carlsson.

I found her listed with her parents in this Sweden Household Examination Book from Lista, Sodermanland, Sweden for the years 1886 - 1890.¹

Here's a cropped view of the page.

Right side of page:

This document gives us so much information. It states that Alma Josefina's birth date was 8 April 1887 and she was born in Lista, Sodermanland, Sweden.

Take a look at the line above Alma Josefina. Another sister named Alma is listed there - Alma Charlotta. Her name is crossed out, just like little Frans Gustaf Carlsson's name was crossed out in the document I shared in my previous post. This document states that Alma Charlotta was born on 23 December 1885 in Lista, Sodermanland, Sweden. It also states that she passed away on 2 October 1886 under the column "Dod."

I already had Alma Charlotta in my database, but not her sister Alma Josefina. So, this was a wonderful discovery for me.

I have found that it is very important to look through all of the years of the Sweden Household Examination Books for the families you are researching. They can contain a wealth of valuable information.

I was able to find my 2nd great-granduncle and aunt, Carl Gustaf Carlsson and Anna Katarina Persdotter, and their family in several Sweden Household Examination Books. In another one, I found additional information about Alma Josefina. I'll share that in a future post.

Thanks for reading!

Little Frans Gustaf Carlsson Has Been Found

Sweden Household Examination Book - Lista AI 18, 1881 - 1885

I received an email from MyHeritage telling me that there were new record matches waiting for me to review. One of them caught my eye. It was a record match for my 1st cousin 3 times removed. Her name is Hulda Sofia Carlsson and she was born in Lista, Sodermanland, Sweden on 18 May 1883.

There were actually several record matches for me to review about Hulda. One of them was this Sweden Household Examination record at the top of this post. It lists her as a child in the household of her parents Carl Gustaf Carlsson and Anna Katarina Persdotter (my paternal 2nd great-granduncle and aunt). This specific record is for the time period between 1881-1885. ¹

I noticed in this record that a son named Frans Gustaf was listed in the family as well. He's listed on line 8 and his name is crossed out. His death date is at the end of line 8 in the red box below.

Frans was previously unknown to me. I didn't have him in my Legacy database. It turned out that FamilySearch did have him in their database, but didn't have any parents listed for him. I was able to attach him to his parents in FamilySearch and I added him to my database as well.

Little Frans Gustaf has been waiting a very long time to be found. He was only 5 months old when he passed away on 19 February 1885. He was born on 9 September 1884 in Gillberga, Sodermanland, Sweden. I'm so grateful I was able to find him.

Through further searching in the Sweden Household Examination Books for the family of my 2nd great-granduncle and aunt, Carl Gustaf Carlsson and Anna Katarina Persdotter, I was able to find another previously unknown to me daughter. I will share information about her in a future post.

Thanks for reading!
