The first Haggman to settle in Scania is suggested to have been an official sent out by the Swedish king to assist making Scania Swedish after the disastrous peace treaty of Roskilde in 1658.
Whereas the origins of the family are, to say the least, obscure, it is absolutely certain that it was Ludvig* Christopher Haggman (1806-1887) who brought the name to Malmo. He was the youngest of the many children borne by Juliana Elisabeth Kallenberg in her marriage to Johannes Haggman. After the death of his mother, his father had a child out of wedlock and eventually married its mother, Sophia Ifvarsdotter Landstrom, when Ludvig was 10 years old. Sophia gave birth to a baby boy in May 1822, before both she and her husband tragically died within a few weeks of one another in 1826.
In 1834 Ludvig married Bengta Persdotter (1811-1881) of Tullstorp. Living in Malmo, they had six children. The oldest, Johan Peter (1836-1846) died a 10-year-old. Two daughters, Johanna and Elsa, were born in 1839 and 1842 respectively. Then came another boy, Nils, who died an infant. Two more sons were born, Johan Peter (in 1847) and Frans August.
Johan Peter married Elna Nilsdotter of Malmo, and they had nine children, eight of whom survived infancy and seven of whom married and raised their own families.
