[#42060] Immigration to Gjerpen parish 1846 to1849

[Gjest Carl Ellis]

I was told that my grandmother was born i Stockholm Sweden 12/10/45 I have access to the swedish parish registers but haven.t been able to find her. The family immigrated to norway between her birth and her brothers birth He was born Jan /22 1849 in Norway. I found some of the family in the 1865 census For Gjerpen. They were listed as Methodist if that means any thing. They were as follows Father Olavus Anders, Mother Casia Andersd. Daughters Jakobina Olavusd. Sophie Olavusd ( my grand mother) karoline Olavusd. Brothers Johan Martile Olavuss, Alexander Olavass. Sophie and Jakobina left for America in 1862. what i am hopping is that someone has the records that can tell me what parish in sweden they came from as i have search all 187 parishes that are on line with no luck. I found my great grand father in norway through a post here.
