FORWARD

In 1743, a son was born in Lycksele, Lapland, to the vicar Anders G. Alenius and his wife.
This son, Anders G. Alenius Jr. also became a clergyman--and he and his wife were the parents
of 14 children.

It was the second child Anders Gustaf, who is the father of " P.K." Per Kristian Alenius, and
beginning with "P.K." our most detailed information on the fame of our ancestors unfold.

Records state that the father of P.K. Alenius was an itinerant farmer and was very poor. There
are several versions of P.K.'s childhood--but all agree he left his home in Lapland and made his
journey to Alson to live with his father's sister, Catharina Charlotta. Catharina was the first
Alenius to settle in the province of Jamtland near Alson.

P.K. was a hearty, robust, athletic young man--an excellent skier; and though from a very poor
background, he met and fell in love with Anna Kristina Goden. Anna was the stepdaughter of
Johan Montelius--a man of great wealth and intelligence--highly respected in the community.
P.K. and Anna married and were the parents of nine children--and the following pages contain
stories and information about their children and their childrens children and grandchildren, of
whom we are all a part.

I first became interested in the Alenius history when I traveled to Sweden in 1978 with my Aunt,
Alyce Nichols. She talked incessantly all the way about various Alenius family--and all of the
names were meaningless at that time. Aunt Alyce never got to utilize any of the information she
had gathered in her researching family history, for shortly after we returned to the U.S., she lost
her life in a car accident. All of the things she had collected and worked on were boxed and sent
to me--hoping I would "do something" with them. I was interested, but not inspired until I realized
we would be able to attend the Nelson Reunion in July 1988. I began in January to seriously
concentrate on trying to put all the puzzle pieces together. It was confusing, time consuming,
and contagious. After many hours of arranging, rearranging, changing conflicting dates, etc., I
put together this booklet and a few pages of genealogy. Now each member of the Alenius
family seens very real to me. I wish by some magic I could turn back the years for a short while
so I could get to know them better. I would love to drop by the home of Jacob and Sara Alenius
and sit around their lovely dining room table with its silver service and china, and sip coffee with
them--with their ceiling high-high grandfather clock ticking away and their flowering plants lining
the window sills. Looking at the kindly faces of Gottfrid and Maria Alenius. I Just know I would
love them. They were devout Christians and well know for their kind deeds in their community.
Though they had no children, they always gave gifts of money to all the newborn in Morsil where
they lived. Or--it would have been fun to drop in at the home of Johan Oscar Alenius (another
of P.K.'s sons) with his lively brood of six children. It is reported he was a wealthy farmer and
merchant--loved to entertain guests in his home--and he was a brilliant conversationalist.


Had I been as familiar with all of the Alenius background as I am now, I would have asked
many, many more questions, taken more photos and poked around more in the places where
they lived. Now, I want to go back!!! I regret most of all that Aunt Alyce cant't see the results of
all of here efforts--and that she isn't here to attend the Nelson reunion. She would have loved it.
But...I dedicate this book on the family history to her memory, thankful that she spirited my
interest and that she took me back to the Country of our ancestors.

Shirley Nelson

P.K. and Anna married and were the parents of nine children--and the following pages contain stories and information about their children and their childrens children and grandchildren, of whom we are all a part.

Children were: Vicar Andreas Anders ALENIUS, Carl Gustaf Bernhard ALENIUS.

Anders Gustaf ALENIUS was born on JAN 10 1771 in Lycksele, Lapland Sweden. He died in 1834 in Arvliden, Sweden?. He was an Immigrant Farmer in Baggböle. Parents: Vicar Andreas Anders ALENIUS and Eva-Maria FLUUR.

Children were: Per Kristian ALENIUS , Erik Gustav ALENIUS, Eva Carolina ALENIUS.

Vicar Andreas Anders ALENIUS was born on MAR 27 1743 in Lycksele, Lapland Sweden. He died on MAY 10 1820 in Lycksele, Sweden. Vid uppordnandet av det Linderska familjearkivet påträffades spridda handlingar med proveniens från Anders och Carl Gustaf Bernhard Alenius, söner till kyrkoherden Anders Alenius i Arvidsjaur och morbröder till Johan Anders Linder, samt
från Carl Gustaf Bernhard Alenius son Carl Fredric. Dessa handlingar har ordnats som separata arkiv (Handskrift 43A - C) .
Anders Alenius föddes den 27 februari 1743 i Sorsele, där hans far var adjunkt innan han senare blev kyrkoherde i Arvidsjaur. Modern, Brita Granlund var dotter till komminister König Granlund i Lycksele-Sorsele. Anders Alenius gick i skola i Piteå och Härnösand varefter han skrevs in som student i Uppsala för att sedan prästvigas i Härnösand 1768. Han blev därefter kapellpredikant i Degerfors där han "under skiftande öden, under fattigdom och sinnessvaghet framlevde 21 år". (L Bygdén, Hernösands Stifts Herdaminne II, sid 135). Sedan blev han skolmästare i Lycksele och utnämnd till kyrkoherde där år 1801. Anders Alenius var känd för att ha stora anlag för läkekonsten; speciellt skicklig var han när det gällde
att bota ögonsjukdomar. "Han förhjälpte åtskilliga blinda till seende eller ledsyn". Tidvis led han av svårmod men var nitisk och from.

Han avled den 10 maj 1820.

De handlingar som finns i hans arkiv utgörs av prästeden samt några brev bl a från föräldrarna. Carl Gustaf Bernhard Alenius föddes den 16 februari 1744 och gick även han i skola i Piteå och Härnösand för att sedan prästvigas år 1773. Han blev därefter skolmästare i Lycksele och avled där 1790, "dränkte sig i Hällforsen uti ängslan". Parents: Vicar Anders Gustaf ALENIUS Sr. and Brita GRANLUND.

He was married to Eva-Maria FLUUR. Children were: Anders Gustaf ALENIUS , Catharina Charlotta ALENIUS, Erik Bernard ALENIUS, Brita Carolina ALENIUS, Anna Christina ALENIUS, Eva Marie ALENIUS, Sara Sofia ALENIUS, Carl Magnus ALENIUS, Carl Wilhelm ALENIUS, Beata Lovisa ALENIUS.

Anna ALENIUS Parents: Johan Oscar ALENIUS and Karin ANDERSSON of Kjosta.

Anna Christina ALENIUS was born in 1775 in Baggböle. She died ? in Baggböle. Married to a Mill-Owner in Stockholm. His name is unknown at this time. Parents: Vicar Andreas Anders ALENIUS and Eva-Maria FLUUR.

Anna Kristina "Stina" ALENIUS was born in 1847 in Sweden. She died in 1936. Anna and Eric had seven children, but several died when quite small. Not sure where the children got the Surname "Thalin".

ANNA KRISTINA --- a keen and lively intellect--expert dairywoman and was a supervisor and instructor at dairies of Torsta, As and Ange--married Erik Persson a shoemaker. They had 7 children (some died very young)--she lead an active life with servants and numerous visitors and guests in her home.

Children of Anna Kristina & Erik Persson

a. Kristian Eriksson Thalin
b. Anna Persson Thalin--son Ake, a Policeman
c. Gustaf Persson Thalin--author of attached lengthy article on the Montelius family--master Gardener of Hornsberg--Children: Erik Thalin, Svante Thalin, Hilma Thalin & Anna Thalin Ferber

*Note: How did Anna Kristina and Erik Persson's children come by the last name
of Thalin? Their daughter Anna, who lived in a nursing home in Jarpen when Shirley Nelson and Alyce Nichols visited Sweden, has one son and he is known as Ake Thalin. This is something I have not been able to unravel. (S.N.)

NILS ALENIUS only daughter was ANNA KRISTINA ("STINA"). In her younger days she was with EUGENIA BLOM in Melen. (E. BLOM was first at Admiral Morners in the royal farm and later at Major Hartman's at Vagled on Froson). Later she became a dairywoman and is now apparently the sole survivor of the students in the first class that took the dairy training in Jamtland--organized in Morsil in the 1860's. She married the farmer ERIK PERSSON in Kjosta, Alsen (although it does not have much to do with this account it can be said about the last named that the urge to adventure and travel was in his blood, as it was in most Jamtlanders, and in order to get out to see the world he at an early age learned the shoemaker trade. Then with his hourneyman's permit in his pocket--signed by a man named Moberg--he set out. First he found employment at N. Lindquist in Ostersund, but later set out as an itinerant journeyman in Morway. I have seen a photograph of ERIK PERSSON from this period, and he looks like the typical journeyman as we children of today have pictured them, as for instance in the book " Andersson, Pettersson and Lundstrom," in the wide-awake, likable member of this time. Now the days of the journeyman are a matter of past history, a really merry and interesting bit of our cultural history. The children of this couple live and dwell both in towns and country. So much for the Kontigent citizen's eldest son and posterity.

Death of a Senior Citizen

The Widow, ANNA STINA ALENIUS PERSSON of KJOSTA


One of the last survivors of Alsen's older generation, the widow, ANNA STINA PERSSON nee ALENIUS died at the advanced age of 89. She was born in the Alenius home at Hof, the eldest child of the merchant, NILS GUSTAF ALENIUS and wife, KERSTIN PERSDOTTER of the Kovesta RODE family in Alsen. The deceased was the bearer of a rich fund of traditions relating to the life of bygone days in Alsen.

She grew up in the Alenius home where she spent the greater part of her youthful years and since her grandfather, P.K. ALENIUS was a member of the first 100 male citizens in the young city of Ostersund, she gathered a great storehouse of memories that in her old age fromed the substance of many stories she could relate about the life and conditions in Ostersund's early days. And, she had a fine opportunity to collect impressions since her grandfather Alenius' home was the regular meeting place for great numbers of relatives and neighbors who would frequently visit this home, and she could tell a great deal about the cultural life and about family connections in bygone days to those who were too young to have had the opportunity to observe them firsthand as she had done.

Later she lived in several other places. She spent some time in the home of a business associate of her father, Erik in By, Rodon: with a relative Eugenia Blom, who had a hotel in Melen, and here she witnessed the dedication of the old communication link by land and sea, the Ostersund connection to Trondheim.

Then she became a student in the first dairy class established in the county at Myckelgard, Morsil. After completing this course, she became a supervisor and instructor at the dairies of Torsta, As, and Ange in Offerdal. Afterwards she was in the employ of the Ocklind families in this city, and of Rissler at Hornberg, Morner on the crown property, and Hartman in Vagled. All of this gave her many interesting observations that she could communicate to younger generations.

In 1871 she married the farmer, ERIK PERSSON of Kjosta in Alsen. She became the mother of seven children, several of whom died at an early age. The couple managed their farm for some forty years, and there was always an active life with servants and numerous visitors and guests. This was a life that must have had great appeal to the deceased individual, accustomed to living with a great variety of people in her surroundings.

She was endowed with a keen and lively intellect, and to her final days she, with great interest, kept up with the events occurring in her neighborhood and in the world at large.

The nearest relatives to mourn her demise at the funeral were three of her children, one of whom was the master gardener GUSTAF PERSSON THALIN of Hornsberg: KRISTIAN ERIKSSON THALIN, and ANNA PERSSON THALIN.





Parents: Nils Gustaf ALENIUS and Kerstin PERSDOTTER RODE.

Children were: Kristian Eriksson THALIN, Anna Persson THALIN, Gustaf Persson THALIN.
