Birth Johan W Haggblom 1836 Vätö-AB-CI-5-1826-1861-Image-430
Item 39, the last entry on the left side of the page I believe is an 1836 Johan Wilhelm birth record with parents of Johan Haggblom and (Lisa) Elizabeth Nilsdotter. Can you tell me who the people are in the 3rd column ? Are they witness's or parents and also what are their names? Is there any other info I am missing on this record besides the info in the 3rd column? Thank-you.

Can someone help me with this question or do I need to repost it? Thanks, Julie

Sorry that this was overlooked.
The column you are asking about is the column that the godparents/christening witnesses are listed in. To save time, the writer only put column headings on the first page.
The entry is as follows:
Bond(e) [farmer] Jan Andersson in W(ester) Edsvik, Maid Lena Margr(eta) Rosen from Ortala, Pehr Johan ? agerström, and maid Anna Gretha Ersd(otte)r in Blockargården (or Blakargården) (or Klockargården)
You may already have figured this out, but the mother's age is in the column preceding the witnesses-she is 24 years old.

Thank-you so much! I was hoping it might be the baby’s grandparents as I am still looking for Johan Haggblom Sr.’s parents but it looks like maybe not. Again, I appreciate you all! Julie

I am not sure where you have searched for Johan Häggblom's parents, but the household records say that he was born in Finnström which is a part of Finland. I found a Johan Hagblom born in Finnström in 1811 (25 Jan) but it turned out that he was still in Finland in 1836 when Johan Wilhelm was born. There were several Johans born in 1812 in Finnström but none with the name Hagblom or Häggblom associated with him. Your Johan may have picked up the name Häggblom at some point in his travels so he may prove quite elusive. Is he in Family Tree?

Yes he is. Savannah L has been patiently helping me through the Family search online consult service. :-) I have searched through all of Finstrom’s Johans born in 1811,12,13, with various last names and we have not hit the jackpot yet!. Also , I have him in Sweden from 24 yrs of age until death. We’ve searched probate records, Sailor home lists, moving in and out records, HHE’s in both Finland and Sweden :-). It’s been a really tough brick wall! I also have more extensive trees in Roots Magic and Ancestry.
