Hulda Elise WALLBÄCK

Notes:

She arrived in the U.S. at New York on December 13, 1933, aboard the S.S. Kungsholm which had sailed from Gothenburg. On the manifest, she is shown as Hulda Elise Bjellquist, age 25, married, born in Ransäter, last permanent address Munkfors.

Naomi’s notes say that Hulda had 2 sons.

Hulda and Roy’s address in the U.S. was 1215 N. E. Ocean View Circle, Jensen Beach, Florida. Possibly 161 Ocean View Circle was correct although that address had been intentionally crossed out.

Family/Spouse: Ragnar (Roy) BJELLQUIST. Ragnar was born on 18 Mar 1903 in Jönköpings län, Sweden; died on 17 Sep 1993 in Phillipsburg, Warren County, New Jersey. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Had 10 children. Went by Johan. Called Anders Johan Andersson in the birth record for Agnes Matilda.

Changed name to Wallbäck. By the time of Heldine’s birth, he was Anders Johan Andersson Vallbäch.

At the time of the 1900 Swedish Census, he and his family were residing in Blia, in the parish of Ransäters annex, in the county of Värmland. Anders’s occupation is inhyses, probably meaning tenant farmer.

Elaine’s notes of what Mabel told her in the 1980s suggest that one of Johan’s descendants, a Heldine Wallbäck was living at Basungatan 28, 42140 Vastra Frölunda, Göteburg.

Died:
this date suggested by Naomi’s notes

Anders married Hilma Elisabet NILSDOTTER on 2 Mar 1898 in Värmlands län, Sweden. Hilma was born on 20 Sep 1875; died on 7 Sep 1945 in Munkfors, Värmlands lan, Sweden. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
Karlstads according to Emily Schlosser

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Brukare
• Baptism: 18 Sep 1834, Öfre Ulleruds, Värmlands län, Sweden

Notes:

Called Anders Jonsson in the birth records for Klara and Jan Edvard.

The parish birth record implies his home town is Klings...{something}. This is probably Olsäter Klingermyren.

The family lived in Olsäter. In the 1861-1865 Household Examination the family resided in Wallsätra, Olsäter. In the 1886-1890 Household Examination and in the 1891-1895 Household Examination the family’s residence was called Olsäter Wästbergsäjen.

Still alive at the time of the 1890 Swedish census. At that time, the family (all but Britta who had moved out by then) resided in Olsäter in the parish of Öfre Ulleruds in the county of Värmland. No mention is made of the Wallbäck surname in the 1890 census listing.

Birth:
Residence in 1890: Olsäter, Värmland county

Died:
Still alive in the 1891-1895 Household Examination

Anders married Kajsa JANSDOTTER on 26 Dec 1860 in Öfre Ulleruds, Värmlands län, Sweden. Kajsa (daughter of Jan JANSSON and Brita ELOFSDOTTER) was born on 9 Feb 1837; died on 30 Jan 1923 in Öfre Ulleruds, Värmlands län, Sweden. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Not connected to her parents in Emily Schlosser’s family tree.

Kajsa is called Maria Jansdotter in Klara’s birth record.

Her February 9, 1837, birth is not recorded in the parish birth record for Övre Ullerud. The 9 Feb 1837 birthdate is confirmed by the entries in the Household Examinations. Her marriage record with Anders indicates that they both were from Olsäter.

She was not listed in Olsäter in the 1840-1844 Household Examination. She is listed on the same page (p. 204) as Anders’s family in Olsäter in the 1845-1852 Household Examination for Övre Ulleruds as well as p. 367 for her parents in N. Ås. She is shown as “flicka” Cajsa Jansdotter in the Olsäter 1845-1852 Household Examination. Under the Inflyttad column is “p. 367-51” which suggests she arrived on the scene in 1851. In another column is “Adm 52 3/10” which would be consistent with her arriving in Olsäter in 1851 or 1852. The N. Ås entry for her in the 1845-1852 Household Exam suggests that Cajsa left N. Ås in 1851.

She is also listed on the same page (p. 222) as Anders in the 1850-1860 Household Examination. She is still a “flicka” although she was promoted to “piga” in the decade.

All children but Britta were listed as still living at home (Olsäter, Öfre Ulleruds, Värmland county) in the 1890 Swedish census. Brita is living with her husband and child in Elfsbacka.

In the 1900 census, only Klara, Jan, and Gustaf are living with Kajsa in Olsäter. Anders has died and Britta and Anders Johan have married and moved away from home as probably has Lotta. Kajsa is shown with the occupation of Inhyseshjon which means lodger or tenant. This may be the status of a widow of a tenant farmer. In various references, including the death letter from Lotta in 1923 and Naomi’s notes, Kajsa’s and Klara’s home is referred to “Edvard i Knoten.”

Gust’s death certificate refers to her as Karin Wallbeck.

Birth:
Residence in 1890: Olsäter, Värmland county

Died:
as Kajsa Jonsson, born Jansson

Notes:

Married:
Marriage #21, Banns on November 18th

Notes:

He and his family are on p. 182 of the 1840-1844 Household Examination.

He and his family were in the Olsäter section of the Övre Ullerud Household Examination, 1845-1852 (p. 204), although it seems that they moved away from or lost title to that residence in 1852. In the 1850-1860 Household Examination, Magnus Andersson, b. 31 May 1816, is the leaseholder of the residence of Lena (who died during that decade) and her sons Anders and Jan. Perhaps Magnus is a younger brother of Jonas.

Birth:
Emily Schlosser says 21 Apr 1797

Died:
50 years, 7 months, 10 days according to death record, which implies a birthdate of June 21st

Jonas married Lena JANSDOTTER. Lena (daughter of Jan SVENSSON and Margeta PERSDOTTER) was born on 16 Aug 1808 in Olsäter, Öfre Ulleruds, Värmlands län, Sweden; died on 13 Jun 1859 in Olsäter, Öfre Ulleruds, Värmlands län, Sweden. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Died:
50 years, 9 months, 27 days

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 17 May 1803, Öfre Ulleruds, Värmlands län, Sweden

Notes:

His birth seems to have caused his mother’s death.

Name inferred from Cajsa’s and Anders’s marriage record which said “Father Jan Jansson of Edeby present.” Emily Schlosser’s family tree calls him Jahn Jansson Wallbeck but does not connected Kajsa Jansdotter as his daughter.

The family was in N. Ås in later 1839 because Elias’s birth is recorded in the birth records for N. Ås. However, the family is not recorded in the 1840-1844 Household Examination for N. Ås (or S. Ås for that matter). The family is recorded in Norra Ås in Övre Ullerud in the 1845-1852 Household Examination. That entry (p. 367) shows Cajsa leaving for Olsäter in 1851. Jan is a “torpare” or crofter.

Died:
Hägerberget (in Edeby) according to Emily Schlosser; the 1871-76 Household Examination says he died 4 July 1873

Jan married Brita ELOFSDOTTER in 1839. Brita (daughter of Elof NILSSON and Maria PERSDOTTER) was born on 21 Jan 1818 in Öfre Ulleruds, Värmlands län, Sweden; died on 24 Jun 1895 in Öfre Ulleruds, Värmlands län, Sweden. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
