Notes
One grandson's grandson was the so-called Fallebogökken, Karl Johan Nilsson Fallenius Roback, who bluffed half of North America. One grandson's grandson was Sven Magnus Körling.
Doctor Roback. (Fallebogökken) He is one of the most entertaining emigrants imaginable, though not entirely honest. He was thus named Karl Johan Nilsson, born in Fallebo village in Kristdala 1811-05-22. His father belonged to an old peasant family in the village and his mother came from Sjökrok also in Kristdala parish. Karl Johan started as a farmer in Fallebo, but had bigger views. He moved to Döderhultsvik, now Oskarshamn, and became a merchant. He soon engaged in extensive trade with the "foreigners" in grain, iron, spirits and much more. The methods were not entirely honest, so in 1843 Nilsson, alias Fallenius, alias Fallebogöken (who was the christian laurel's last name on merchant Nilsson) had to make an urgent trip to America.
In America he called himself Doctor Roback and performed quackery with great success. He sold love powder, liquid electricity, and all kinds of lubricants. One of his tricks was to have a staff member who went into a hotel and then he fell ill and died. Before the sick man gave up his spirit, he demanded the help of Doctor Roback, who happened to be nearby. The doctor came and raised the dead with a life lesson. The happy event was celebrated with night waving with gates and the event was trumpeted in the local press. Of course, there were a number of bottles of the wonderful elixir for sale.
Doctor Roback, according to his own opinion, had great knowledge of astrology, psychology, magic, medicine, graphology, astronomy, etc. His ancestors had discovered America in the 15th century, which he proved with a picture of a Viking ship. He had taken the picture from Fritjofs Saga!
Many Americans were cured of Doctor Roback's magic spells in an unknown language. However, it was all revealed when a Swedish journalist visited Roback in New York, claiming to be a help-seeking American. The doctor put his hand on the help-seeker and said "This is Fallebogök that puts your hand on your onion". Source: Birger Bring Kristdala
