Generation One

 

 

1. Erick1 HOLMLUND (Eric Johansson, #2) was born on 10 August 1842 in Torrböle, Nordmaling parish, Västerbotten, Sweden. He married Catharina Magdalena Backstrom, daughter of John F. Backstrom and Eva Johanna Davidsdotter, on 17 July 1870 in Kansas City, Mo. He died on 6 June 1922 in Bucklin, Linn Co., Mo, at age 79.

Eric was born in Torrböle village in Västerbotten, Sweden. His family moved around a lot. There is no note in the parish record that shows when Eric left home. He hasn´t been found in any records of moves in and out of the parish either. No obvious reason why he started to call himself Holmlund has been found. From his family bible it is noted that he says he is from Holmfors Bruk, Nordmaling parish, Vasterbotten, Sweden. A Bruk is a sawmill where young unmarried men stay and work.

He arrived in USA on July 4,1868 along with the John F. Backstrom family. They made a loan to Erick which enabled him to come to the USA with them. They lived for a while in Jamestown, New York. In December 1869 they moved to Kansas City, Mo. After being married they moved to Bucklin, Mo. in 1872. Erick's original name was Erickson which was changed to Holmlund when he came to America. He had a half-brother in Sweden which Elin Holmlund visited after Erick died. He showed her the northern lights. His last name was probably Johanson.

Comments: In those days you could pick almost any surname you liked. as long as it did not belong to a noble family. In many cases people choose the same surname as someone they liked or a name that was connected to their birthplace, etc. The name Holmlund is quite common in the Nordmaling area. It´s possible that if all of Erics siblings were followed ahead in time that they also called themselves Holmlund. The fact that he hasn´t been found in the records of moves is not unique. Although the law said that all parishoners had to get an attest from the church before they left their parish , many did not bother to get it, so in many cases it could be years before the priest knew they left. The emigration records weren´t kept until 1869 so he can´t be found there either.

 

He was also known as Eric Ericsson. He emigrated on 22 May 1868 from Nordmaling parish, Västerbotten, Sweden. He immigrated on 5 July 1868 to New York, New York, USA.

Eric Olof Johansson was born in Torrböle village.He was working as a farmhand there when he met his first wife. He seems to have had some trouble with the law and that is perhaps one of the reason to why the family moved around a lot. He had twice been caught stealing and the second time was. in april 1841 when it´s noted that he had to attend a 'kyrkoplikt', he was to stand in front of the church so that every visitor could see him and his shame Perhaps he stood by the pillory and was publicly disgraced. This could also be one of the reasons why his son Eric changed his last name. To avoid to be connected with his father. Two years after his first wifes death Eric Olof was remarried Eric Olof lived a long life and died at age 77.
