Hej Jane,

I have a few thing to tell about Johan August Hellerstedt and his family. The time run so fast when I was in Vadstena. I haven't as much time as I need to do my research. It was so fun to visit the archive so I promise I will go again some Saturday in March.

I read about the family from the household in Ekeby parish. They have move to this parish in 1882 and were coming from Godegård parish. In Ekeby the family lived at the Ironwork Flemminge. Johan August also work there. In 1882 the family was:

Johan August Hellerstedt born 9 Jan 1845 in Hällestad parish
married
Hedda Beata Hagström born 8 Nov 1843 in Bo parish

Children:
Oskar Verner born 28 Sept 1863 in Bo parish, move to Karlskoga parish 1883
Johan Melker born 7 Apr 1867 in Bo parish
Tekla Augusta born 26 Sept 1869 in Dunker parish
August Albin born 1 March 1871 in Säfsnäs parish
Lydia Elisabet born 16 May in Godegård parish
Frans Edvard born 3 Jan 1878 in Godegård parish
Jenny Debora born 26 Feb in Godegård parish
Hedvig Naemi born 9 March in Flemminge Järnverk, Ekeby parish
Elsa Viktoria born 29 Nov 1882 in Flemminge Järnverk, Ekeby parish

When Hedvig Naemi was baptized 28 Apr 1881 there is a note in the church book that she was the 8th born child in the family and that here parents have been married for 14 years.
