Hi Stig! I believe you spoke with Eva over email? She mentioned your name, and you being a relation of some kind.  I didn't notice your name on the forum until after I posted, then I remembered the email she sent me. So, Nice to "meet" you! :)

    Thank you for the information! I have just a few questions, if that's alright?
     When it says "Born 1893-10-11 Johannisro,Törböle, N-Kalix fs.(BD)"  What is "Törböle", another name for Töre? and also, what is the "Johannisro"? Is it a small area of Töre?  I am trying to understand how things are regions/cities, etc are named in comparison to what I know. I understand the parish is the smallest municipality places are divided down to, that being Kalix? But I don't quite understand what places like Töre, Nyborg, Storön are in relation to Kalix. Are they like villages in a city? or sections of a parish?

   As far as I knew, everything my grandparents told us involved "Nederkalix" and then after finding ship manifests and immigration papers, it also included places like Töre, Nyborg, and Storön.

  It looks as though my great grandfather was the only one from his immediate family to emigrate. My great grandmother's Stenman family had more family that came to the US.  I did not know The only Jonsson to come from his own family had been Helge. How sad, to leave all of your family behind. :(
