History

The village of Grundnäs in Skellefteå parish was seen as a new building on May 15, 1799, with all probability by Olof Danielsson Danielsson-572. He did not live there for so long but first moved to Fahlmark and then to Gummark.
At the same time with Danielsson or shortly after, there lived a Per Eriksson-From Ericsson_From-1, probably a soldier and a resident of the village of Nyholm.
Danielsson was succeeded by Olof Olofsson from Kusmark but his business there was also short-lived. Around 1820 Anders Andersson moved in from Drängsmark, former boy and sawmill in Byske. He later called himself Hägglund. A contemporary with him was Per Eriksson-Lindkvist from Loholm (?) Or Långbäck.

Field hunter Fredrik Sundberg's part in the new building was taken over by a Hans Larsson around the 1840s or possibly a little later, if by marriage or otherwise has not been investigated. Larsson later called himself Marklund, and the homemaker was taken over by son Lars around 1870 and has continued in the family.

A memorable Grundnäsbo, the son of Lars Marklund, has provided some information on certain conditions that quite well also fit in most of the villages in these areas and therefore deserve to be reproduced.
The father of the businessman, for example, should have dug the first cover ditch, though only to a very small extent, about 1890. It was not until about 1902 that the son put the first cover ditches in the proper sense.
A few years later, around 1906-07, the only major digging company was done in the village. Already a few years earlier, small attempts had been made with concrete in the barns, but perhaps because they did not fully master the art, these attempts did not yield an immediate success. The narrator's father was the first in the village to buy fertilizers.

Factory-made plows were already in single copies at the turn of the century, but it took at least a decade before they became more widely used. In at least one farm in the village, there was no shovel of iron yet at the turn of the century. The narrator's father had provided such a shovel, which was borrowed fresh from the neighbors. The son bought the first mower in 1889 or 1890, and the first fertilizer spreader in 1920. Already a year before the last war, the row sowing machine had come into use.

Of interest is also to note that after about 1860, as a rule, no new roofs had been laid on man-made buildings or houses. At some point in the last quarter of the 19th century, it seemed that such roofs could be put on barns. The fact that a man in a nearby village laid roofs on his manor building just before the last war is a rare exception with no known equivalent.

At least after the 1870s, kerosene lamps were used, and electric light was obtained in 1918.

Masonry tiled stoves existed as early as the 1860s and iron stove was purchased for the village in 1895. Even up to the 19th century - in some cases even later - the dwelling house's walls were of bare logs. After that, they generally began to cover the grate and then chalk or paint over the walls in order to make the wallpaper to an increasing extent in the 90s. Until 1890, only cutting was used at the barley harvest. Thereafter IU was used, a method that quickly broke through.

With a few years of variation in each direction, this is largely the development schedule in the villages in the area.

Population

The People

Grundnäs is located south of Varuträsket, next to Bolidenvägen.

The village was taxed in 1799. First map for weathering and taxation of "Olof and Erikssöner's chrono Nybygge Grundnäs called…." is beautifully designed by Fried. Sundström in October 1799 and established by Gustaf Esaias von Walter in November 1801. Law change was adopted on December 30, 1914.

Ancestor of the village is Erik Persson born 1768-09-01 Persson-5911 and who moved to Grundnäs in 1831. No one in the village is descended from him, however the Vidmark family in the village can feel some kinship when Engelbert Vidmark's mother married into the Lindqvist family, which it came to named when Erik Persson's son Pehr adopted the family name Lindqvist. The Marklund family in the village comes from Hans Larsson Marklund b.1824 Marklund-23 who came to Grundnäs in 1850.
A total of 171 people have lived in the village from 1812 to 1930.

The first to live in the village, according to length of interrogation, was Olof Danielsson b. 1771 from Långviken. He moved to the village in 1812. With him wife Anna Stina Andersdotter and daughter Lena Greta. However, the family moved on to Östra Fahlmark as early as 1813.

In 2004, there are five permanent living families or 16 people. There are also a number of summer houses, all located at Varuträsket.
