Ben,

I have some details of a Carl Axel von Reis or Reiss who was a resident
of Göteborg in 1871. He is noted in the Household Examination Protocol
of Kristine Parish as steam boat stoker. He moved to Kristine from
Kungsholmens parish, Stockholm, on 27th November 1871. There's also a
number of a certificate of change of address. He's said to be born in
Göteborg Garnisonsförsamlingen (Garrison parish), 15th October 1853.

Carl Axel is not a relative of mine (as far as I know), however it
appears that he came to London, England, possibly several times. He knew
my Great Grandfather, Carl Emmanuel Erickson.

I have a photograph of Carl Axel, which I will eMail to you off list, if
you feel that there is a connection.

Kindest regards,

DAVID ERICKSON

Researching Carl Emmanuel ERICKSON / ERIKSSON

Hello:

I have discovered that I am descended from families in Marstrand,
Göteborg
och Bohus, Sweden.

In particular, I am interested in the family names BAGGE, KAMP,
MANNERSTEDT, REIS, STRÖM, and WANDELIN in that part of Sweden.

I welcome any of your suggestions.
