Biography

Sweden
Edela Britta Gunnesdotter lived in Sweden.

Edela Britta "Edla" Gunnesdotter was born on either 8[1][2] or 21 Aug 1822 and baptized on 21 Aug 1822 in Veddige, Halland, Sweden as the daughter of parents Gunne Jansson and Britta Stina Jacobsdotter.[3][4]

Edela Britta (age 19) and Berndt Larson (age 26), who was widowed at the time of this second marriage for him, were married on 23 Jun 1842 in Veddige, Halland, Sweden.[5]

Their first born son, Carl August Berndtsson (#1) was born in 1844 and died 4 Jan 1844. He was buried 10 Jan 1844 in Veddige, Halland, Sweden.[6]

Their second son was given the same name as the first, Carl August Berndtsson (#2), and was born and baptised on 02 Mar 1845 in Veddige, Halland, Sweden.[7]

Six more children were born between 1846 and 1863: Carolina (b 21 Dec 1846), Inger Christina "Inge" (1850), Johan Bernt (Bendt?) (b11 Feb 1853) , Olaus (b10 Aug 1855), Andreas (b27 Mar 1860 - d19 May 1863), and Anna Christina (Kristina) (b26 Jan 1863 - d8 Mar 1863).

In 1855 and 1860 they were living at Vabränna #4, Veddige, Halland, Sweden at the time of Claus and Andreas' birthdays.

She lost 2 children to death in 1863, Anna Christina at age 1 month[8] and Andreas at age 3.[9]

On 17 Nov 1871 Bernt, Edla, Olaus, Andreas, and Inger Christina departed Veddige, Halland, Sweden with destination USA.[10]

Olaus appears to have changed his name to Olaf Benson after immigrating to Jamestown, Chautauqua, New York where many of the Berntson, Gunnesson, and Wedberg descendants immigrated. Olaf appears to have married a Charlotte (maiden name not yet known) after immigrating. He passed away at age 90-91 and was buried at Lake View Cemetery in 1946 in Jamestown.[11]

Research Notes

BIRTH DATE

Discrepancies exist for her birth date depending upon which record is considered. The Sweden, Household Exam Books 1880-1930 and Sweden, Emigrants Registered in Church Books, 1783-1991 both show DOB of 8 Aug 1822 which is NOT substantiated by parish birth/baptismal record. Sweden, Select Baptisms 1611-1920 (with no image provided) shows birth and baptism having taken place on 21 Aug 1822. The image of the Parish Birth/Baptismal record is needed.

BIRTH NAME: First name Edela or Edla; Middle name Bita or Britta

Can anyone locate primary record substantiation for an accurate full birth name?

Discrepancy exists for what married surname she used - Could be Berrndtson, Berntson, Larrson, Larson, Benson. She used maiden name when emigrating to NY.

Unable to find death record.
