Biography

The name of Sven Gunnarsson's wife is currently not known. Craig's article on Sven just states:^[1]

Sven sailed from Goteborg, Sweden, aboard the Kalmar Nyckel, with his pregnant wife and two children.

Research Notes

• Brigetta is not a Swedish name, should probably be Birgitta. Have kept Brigetta in "Preferred name" field in case anyone should search for it. Since the profile says she is born in Sweden, all her given names should be in the "First name" field as middle names were not used in those days. It is however uncertain if these were really her names, no source was provided for this these names when I adopted the profile.

• Where does other last name "Jestenburg" come from?
