1. Bräkne-Hoby and Karlskrona 1713 - My research is primarily about the family who took the name Windahl at the beginning of the 16th century, about 1713-1730, and who was living in the parish of Bräkne-Hoby and the town Karlskrona in the county of Blekinge on the south-east coast of Sweden (See map). Professions in this family are e.g. naval officers, doctors and merchants. Examples of places where this family later have been living are Landskrona, Gothenburg, Halmstad, Lund, Västervik, Stockholm, Norwood MA, Newark NJ, San Fransisco, Västerås and Oskarshamn. More facts in detail about this family can be found in this site. |
