| Sun, 9 Jan 2000 20:37:22 +0100 "Rune Johansson" <gentiana1@spray.se> Charles Mudd, I have done a quick lookup on the Emigrant CD for the unusual surname Wivatt and found only one. Here he is: Förnamn: ERIK Efternamn: WIVATT Ålder: 23 år Kön: M Församling: LJUNGBY Län: G Titel/Anm: TOFFELMAKARE Utresehamn: GÖTEBORG Utvandrdag: 1923 01 27 Destination: CHICAGO IL Källkod: 109:111:33960 Look at my home site, too! Best regards from Rune Johansson E-mail: Gentiana@pp.sbbs.se URL: http://www.torget.se/users/2/2346/index.htm URL: http://home1.pp.sbbs.se/Gentiana/default.htm -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Charles Mudd <muddhaven@earthlink.net> Till: SWEDEN-L@rootsweb.com <SWEDEN-L@rootsweb.com> Datum: den 9 januari 2000 07:54 Ämne: [Sweden] WIVATT, BECK and BOHLIN, BERGQUIST and HEDLUND families ___________________________________ Fought in the Swedish Army against Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. Wounded and Discharged in 1816. Thu, 15 Oct 1998 11:31:30 -0700 Jim Turner <turner@genweb.net> The LDS Family History Library has Swedish Military Records from the Waterloo era. I don't know offhand how far back their military records go, but I've gotten military records from the 1790s-1810s, and I know they had records older than that. _________________ Mon, 12 Oct 1998 19:17:24 -0600 mother.elmo@qconline.com Actually, I'd expect Paul to be Olafson, but close enough. There is ONE expection that I've read about (but not come across) to the patrynamic naming system. If a man was in the service, sometimes he was "awarded" a last name that WAS passed on to his children, supposedly. Then, in 1900, this whole system was "replaced" and everyone was told to take a last name and "stick with it". Most did. But they had a choice what to pick for last names ...their current father's first name, the name of their town, the name of their occupation, etc. In Norway, usually what "appears" to be a last name is not part of the name AT ALL, but rather a farm name. Then when the family moved from farm to farm, that name CHANGED! Are you researching Norway or Sweden? If Norway, then is Wivatt maybe a farm name? If so, then the Paul Olsson Wivatt and Magnus Paulson Wivatt would make sense. I'd just about be positive Wivatt is the name of their farm. This would indicate they kept the same farm for 3 generations at least, not at all unusual. You could search the online censes (probably the 1801 one) for that farm name. | ||||||||||||
