Johannes Andersson was born and baptized on 21 Feb 1823 in Veddige, Halland, Sweden to parents Agneta Månsdotter (1793-abt.1832) and Anders (Jonsson) Jönsson (1794-1863).[1][2]
Johannes was born in Veddige parish on February 21, 1823 and was christened on the same day. Parents are listed as Anders Jönsson and Agneta Månsdotter in Prästegården. Male witnesses; Jöns Larsson and Jöns Andersson in Weddige Kyrkoby. Female witnesses; Christina Torsdotter and Gunnil Olsdotter in Weddige Kyrkoby.[3]
At the time of Johannes birth, the family seems to be living in a "backstuga" on the lands belonging to Prästegården/Prästgården (which can be translated as the residence/farm of the parish priest).[4]
For the next entry in the household book there is a note on the mother, "sängliggande" which probably should translate as bedridden, and the line drawn across her name usually means dead or moved away. [5]
The father of Johannes seems to remarry in September 1840 and his wife, Lovisa Wilhelmina (Zachariasdotter) Zachrisdotter (1809-1851), seems to already have a boy named Carl August Andreasson, born 1836. Two more children are born to the family, Anna Lena Andersdotter (1841-1887) in 1841 and Kristina (Andersdotter) Wedberg (1844-1909) (aka Christina Andersdotter) in 1844.
Johannes seems to be old enough to leave home in 1841 but he didn't move very far, he is listed as a dräng at Prästgården (he just moved to the opposite side in the household book).[6]
Johannes seems to work at Weddige Prästgård until 1845 when he moves to Wabränna. [Whice Wabränna ? There are several.][7]
We find him at Wabränna No 3 where he works until 1848 when he moves to Kongsbacka? (possibly old spelling of Kungsbacka).[8]
The household exam for 1861-1870 (AL:7) found in the Sweden, Church Records, 1451-1943 collection, shows a name of someone that can't be read on the top line of the household at Vabranna 4 in Veddige; however Johannes and his wife are listed next along with their children, Johannes' father - Anders (Jonsson) Jönsson (1794-1863) (aka Jonsson) born 1794, and Johannes' half-sister - [[Martha Lena (maiden name ?) (46). [9]
Johannes was the first born son of Agneta and Anders. Take special note that Vabranna 4 was the original home of Berndt Gunnessson (b24 Jan 1814 - d 23 Jan 1912) and Christina Larsdotter, whose 1st born son was Samuel Berntsson / Wedberg, who married Christina Andersdotter (b 09 Mar 1844 - d 27 Sep 1909) who was Anders and Wilhelmina's daughter and Martha Lena's sister. This record helps substantiate the home and or land ownership of the descendants of Berndt or Bernt Gunnesson / Wedberg to his son Samuel to his daughter Betty Cecilia Samuelsdotter/Wedberg, to her daughter Elin Vilhelmina Johansdotter, to her daughter Kerstin Erika Eriksdotter ...[10]
Was this translated into the bio already or does it still need to be done. I can't do this.
