Jonas Hedström

Jonas Hedström and his family did not get easy lives- they seem to have had to fight with extreme poverty.In 1849 he moves from Lungsund in Värmland to Hällefors in the province of Västmanland- maybe to accompany his brother Fredrik who then resided there too.

In 1860-1865 it says in the parish books that Jonas is "without means" and the family move to Örebro in 1866 in the province of Närke. Jonas runs away from home and has not been found in any records after 1871.

Jonas wife Barbara becomes methodist (note in the parish book). Their daughter Hilda moves to North America on the 17th of August 1880.
