Biography

Anna Maria's birth record and early HHE records have not survived, but later records give her birth day as 16 October 1840 and the place of birth as Frösve parish in Skaraborg county (one record instead says Horn parish, which was the main parish of the pastorat Frösve belonged to, but this most likely only reflects the tendency in Skaraborg to list the pastorat instead of the parish); her marriage record lists her father as Anders Larsson from Berg parish.

Between 1854 and 1855 she was fostered by Anders Svensson and Ingrid Olofsdotter in Skövde,^[1] but then returned to Horn pastorat; she next shows up working at the Kliened mill in Frösve,^[2] moving to Kliened Västergård in 1861,^[3] Nötesten in 1862,^[4] and then in 1863 she returned to Skövde where she worked for two years^[5] before marrying Lars Petter Eriksson^[6] and moving with him to Dogsberg in Frösve parish.^[7] In 1867 they moved to Stångsäter in nearby Säter parish^[8] but already the next year they moved on to Carlstorp under Brännegården,^[9][10] where an undated note informs that they are "said to have moved to America" without notifying the priest. The family sailed with the Rollo from Gothenburg to Hull, with final destination listed as New York, on 24 November 1876.^[11]

Anna and Lars Petter had two children in Sweden:

• Lydia Elisabeth, born 19 November 1865^[12]
• Hulda Petronella, born 18 December 1870^[13]
