Charrlin Family Photos

Andrew J Charrlin.....founding father of
the Charrlin clan.
Andrew
(Anders) was born July 26, 1840 in Vaxtorg parish in Karr,
Halland, Sweden,
father was
Jons Larsson and
mother was Bengta Larsdattor.
As is the norm in Sweden and other
Scandinavian countries,
children took the name of the fathers first name as their
last…….so Andrew was born as Anders Jonsson., because he was
Jons
son !!
Andrew had three brothers,
Sven,
Nils,
and Lars and two sisters,
Lusse, and Anna.
Andrew came to the Americas when he was 29 yrs
old, with Anna and Sven.He came in throuh Canada, then to Chicago
finally settling in Vermillion, SD. He was a blacksmith and later
founder of the Swedish Cngregatioanl church. Mystery # 1 is in the
process, we now know his given name, but still not why or when he
changed his name, nor why Sven changed his also.
I assume it was because Jonsson was such a common
name.
