Frans was born 2 years before his mother's marriage to Peter Roos. His biological father was not named in the birth record. For his first few years, Frans lived with his maternal grandmother; after this he lived with his mother and her husband (whose last name Frans used).
Frans moved to Karlskrona with his mother and stepfather in 1867. While there, he was arrested several times in his teens for theft ("stöld") and petty theft ("snatteri").
Frans left home in 1878. He worked as a laborer in Karlskrona before moving to Germany in 1888. He returned to Karlskrona in 1900. At that time, his profession was recorded as "stadsarbetare" i.e. city worker, and later as "träskohandlare" i.e. clog salesman. In household records, he is a salesman, and by the 1910 census a former salesman.

Research Notes
Household records 1910-1919 have the note "404" in the moving column, with no date. It is unclear what 404 refers to. It should refer to another page but he was not found on page 404 (or 4004 or 4404) of household records in the parish, nor as #404 in the moving records 1910-1920, which have no page 404. The books of death records do not go to either page or number 404.
