Our immigrant John Hager, aka Jöns Hagerlöf, was born Jöns Hansson to Hans Jönsson. At this time much of Sweden still used the patronymic naming system, where the children took their father's first name for their last name. The children of Hans Jönsson took the name Hansson (for Hans' son) and Hansdotter (for Hans' daughter). Jöns was the only one of his siblings to take the new family name Hagerlöf.
Marie Höglander's father Johannes Höglander (son of Daniel Håkansson) and his siblings all adopted Höglander as their family name. The Höglander's include Frederika Höglander Swenson who immigrated to the US, and Sophie Höglander, who married JP Westberg. I have more to come on the Westberg's in both Sweden and the US.
It is thanks to our cousin Ulf in Sweden that we have information on our Hansson and Höglander families in Sweden.
Listed below are the descendants of Hans Jönsson and Daniel Håkansson, who's children became Höglander's. Click on the report menu above for printable charts and genealogy reports (both in pdf format) with more information on the family. It is in the reports that you will find even more information like stories.
