Many years ago I came up with the idea to gather personal data of
different Gotlandic families in a database to ease my own genealogical
research.
This way I connected a lot of "loose ends". Unfortunately I did not have
the same enthusiasm when it came to crediting the sources; so some of my
sources leave a lot to wish for. Oh well, it is now impossible for me to
elucidate this, but I am trying to correct it little by little as I find
my way back to the source. I use this information as clues and not as
statements.
On this
page I have gathered information about bishops, clergy, and their
families on Gotland, though with a few gaps of course. You will find
them listed by parish.
Examples
of literature I have used is among others "Lemkes herdaminne"("Lemke's
Diocesan Annals"), different family books, parish registers such as for
instance birth, marriage and death registries, judgment books and many
fact books concerning Gotland etc. I have also received information from
other researchers that have e-mailed me after visiting my clergy page,
and I would especially like to thank you for this!
I have
also received a lot of supplementing information from my sister,
Elisabeth, who stumbled upon it during her research in the Gotlandic
judgment books.Elisabeth's
daugther Carola contribute as well with discoveries that can be of use
for all
All this together gives a more comprehensible picture of
the Gotlandic priests. If you have any questions, or maybe you have information you would like
to share with others , please
e- mail me, see bottom of page for address
