Biography

Karl Olof was born in Järna parish. He lost his mother in 1828.

Karl Olof left Järna parish in 1841 and worked for several nails smiths in neighboring parishes. During most of 1851-1855, he worked for a nail smith in Häggesta. Karl Olof married Margta Sjöblom in 1857 and their first child was born the same year. At the time, he worked for nail smith Hellström at Sunnerstaholm in Bollnäs parish but later in 1857, the couple moved from Bollnäs parish to Järvsö parish with their new son. In the baptismal records for his daughter Ida Christina in 1859, his occupation is listed as smith worker ("smedsarbetare"). In the baptismal records for his daughter Karolina in 1862, his occupation is listed as former master smith ("f mästersmed"). At the time, the family were poor enough to be exempt from taxes and for a while they were without a permanent address. In November 1868, they moved to Stene and his wife was listed as sickly. From here on, he is listed as a laborer ("arbetare", "arbetskarl").

His wife passed away in 1887 and 5 of their 8 children were listed as surviving her in the estate records. From then on and in the following census records, Karl Olof is listed as a widower and living with his children, and from 1899 with his grown daughter Karolina and her family. He passed away in 1901. The cause of death was recorded as old age.

Research Notes

Note that different census years list his birth place as in either Kopparbergs län or Falu län. This refers to the same location, and is now called Dalarnas län.

1855 records state his parents as Lars Persson and his late wife in Jerna. Häggesta parish records state the same. 1825 birth records for Järna parish cannot be found as the 1810-1837 birth records were destroyed in a fire. Järna household records show him in the household of his widowed father 1838-1841.

His patronymicon was Larsson. In 1843 and 1844, he went by Larsson, in 1845-1850 records he went by Larsson Jernström. In later records he went by Jernström only.

In the 1844 move records, there is also a master smith Jonas Larsson Jernström (b 1817 in Jerna) moving from the same place in Nås parish but to Gränge parish with wife and one son. [1] [2] Is this a relative? There is also a Cathrina Jernström (b 1829 in Jerna) in the 1880 census. [3] and a Salomon Jernström (b 1804 in Jerna) [4]
