Hi WikiTreers! 

The third 2022 WikiTree Challenge has started! Our guest star is Swedish rock musician Hasse Fröberg, the founder of Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion and a member of The Flower Kings. Our challenge will be to uncover as much as possible about his family history in one week.

You don't need any particular research skills to help. Anyone can play a role. We'd love to have you join us!

I claim brick wall bounty for Malin / Magdalena / Lena Jansdotter.
Congrats Maria!!

I added 
Brita Elisabeth Kahlmeter
and then connected her to her father already on WT, which now connected that side of the family to the big tree, I think.

That was a good find Maria. Her father isn't connected to anyone else, so it's not a connection to the global tree. Unless I'm missing something 

Well, her father is connected to another daughter, Anna Catharina Kahlmeter who seems to be connected to the tree. smiley

Edit: Oops, I added this to the wrong part of the tree, the correct one is the next answer, Hulda Regina Lundqvist's line.

Thanks Maria! I see the connection off of Lundqvist =)

I'm stopping for Friday, and will be back for some more on Saturday.

Will work on Huldas fathers mother  Anna Christina Wikman

I'm taking a break, but there's lots to find out on Anna Christina Wikman's lineage.
I finally finished adding all the children, their spouses, and their records (Pettersson-1884). That was fun!

Taking I little time and try to dig in to Christina Charlotta Ersdotter and her ancestors

Taking a break.

Great, Mindy!

I'm now back at my computer and will look some more at Per Persson's ancestry. 

I will work on Cajsa Jansdotter now.

Nice work Robert and Maria! Thanks!!
Now on break.

I added Olsdotter-3439 and am adding the children of Pehr and Gerta before moving onto the Andersson line.
Thanks Melanie! Glad to see you here!

Although I have marked the connection as not being 100% certain, due to lack of specific information for the corneter Nils Wall, I came to the conclusion that there is significant enough consensus to warrant connecting the line of Nils Wall to Anders Wall, the prominent innkeeper & member of parliament, who lived to 102, & married 5 times with at least 17 children (the last of whom was born when he was 90). 

Anders Wall already had a profile, with a dozen or so descendants, but was not connected to the world tree.

Nice work Thomas!!
Andersson line has been extended as far back as I can take it
Thanks for doing so much work on that Melanie!

I added his birth date and data from Swedish Household Examination books for his household.
Thanks Beate!
I will be adding Per Otto's parents.

Done for now 9:50 PM EST

I tied Per Otto to his maternal grandparents Mårten Olofsson and Margreta Ersdotter. They were already on WikiTree via Per Otto's aunt Rakel, and their lines go back a few more generations. (Waiting on a merge for Margreta.)

Thanks Donald & Marta!

May I add Katarina's father? Privacy level is not open.
It is open now Amy
Thanks, Mindy!
I was going to work on her mother's line.  Let me know when you are done adding.
Her mother name is misspelled, should be Fredriksdotter. Furthermore, both birth and death record spells her name Karin (most common in Sweden, Carin much less used).
I'm seeing some good connections through Måns' father Jonas. Who's our bounty hunter on this line?
Oh dear, Karen, bounty hunter? I've made connections to existing profiles. Is that it?
That's totally it!
