My great grandmother was Anna Maria Belfrage born 1835 in Molla, Sweden. Her father
was Carl Johan Belfrage who was the great grandson of Erik Bengt Belfrage who married
Anna Maria Gyllenhaal. I have done a lot of research on the Belfrage family of Sweden and
their connecting lines and published my ancestoral table in the magazine the Swedish
American Genealogist in March 1985. I am very impressed with your web page and would
like to hear from others connecting with the Belfrage family. Would be happy to provide
any information you desire on my family.

Subject: QUESTION ABOUT CATHRINE MARGRETHE LIND
Date: 9/9/97 7:26 AM
I see from your ancestor pages that Lars Herman GYLLENHAAL was married with Ellen
Juliane RÆDER and that her great grandmother was Cathrine Margrethe LIND born 1759.
My first question is: Do you know where she was born or where she lived?
Cathrine Margrethe Lind had a sister called Anna Catharina BERNHOFT LIND born 1788,
and my second question is: Have you got any idea why she got BERNHOFT in her name?
The reason for my questions are that my great great grandfather Thomas BRYN married
Susanne LIND (born 1783) in Drammen, Norway. His son, another Thomas Bryn, married
Kristine RICHTER, a daughter of Ellen Sophie BERNHOFT born 1795. This my be a
coincidence, but if here is a connection I can perhaps give you more information about the
ancestors of Cathrine Margrethe LIND's father.

Hello Ed,
I have been around to some coin and medal shops i Stockholm lately, asking them about
the medal of Leonard Gyllenhaal. At "Strandbergs" in the banking district of the city, the
owner, whom I know since many years, told me two things: The good news was that he
ad one copy, good but not perfect. The bad news was that it was a part in a full collection
of all the medals of the Swedish Royal Society for Science and thus he could not sell one
piece but the lot. And the price was something around $32.000!
Some weeks ago I was at another dealer and asked for it. Two days ago I happened to
bump into the same shop assistant as last time, when I passed the shop in another
errand. He told me that his boss had said, that there might be a chance, that he had a
bronze copy of it, in a big collection that he had somewhere. They will come back if they
find it, the shop assistant told me. Keep your fingers crossed!
Warm regards

If you are interested in how the Old Country is doing
you might have visited the site "Visit the Kingdom of Sweden"
on the address , where it is hidden under
the somewhat insignificantly-looking link called "useful links",
or you might have reached it in some other way.
Then you surely discovered that this seemingly official page
consisted of a lot of links of all kinds.
What bothered me when I tried those links was that you could
not use the "back"-function, when you wanted to go to some of the
other links. I complained to the Swedish Institute about this.
They told me that this is a temparary fault, which will be
corrected in a month or so.
It so happens that also in a month's time that there will be
released a beta-version of a new CD-ROM about the Country of
Sweden. That one is also administred by the Swedish Institute
with a lot of pics and sounds and even videoclips. It is
sponsored by a lot of Swedish companies. Hopefully there will
also be something about Swedish genealogy. I will tell you later,

Dear Ed,
It is a very beautiful ring and I am curious to see the real pictures
From the hallmark "K" you can deduce that it was made
in Stockholm in the year of 1768. The city of Stockholm is indicated
by the stamp portraying the patron of the capital, S:t Erik, a legendary
medeival swedish King, who is said to have christned Finland.
The hallmarking of gold silver and tin was controlled by the
"Kontrollverket" in Stockholm, set up by the state in 1752
which had its branch offices around the country.

As far as surnames go, the name SKOGMAN (man of the forest)

Hello - thank you for your nice home page.
I am chairman of the Swedish Genealogical Society (GF) and maybe we could
help you with some Swedish parts of your project.
One critical comment of heraldry: please use "left" and "right" in
the heraldic fashion or at least comment on it if you choose to do
otherwise. The directions should always be noted as seen from the shield
holder's point of view.
The name Haal is probably "hard" (rd pronounced like a thick l) in the
sense "hard against weapons", invulnerable. I think it was a typical
soldier's name even as early as the beginning of the 17th cty.
Of course this is only a guess.
Your comments on the right to coats of arms may be debated; many non-noble
families had coats of arms (but without the nobility marks like crowns and
helmets) and this was fully accepted. But there is a lot of humbug in this
field...

Hi Ed,
Thanks a lot for your message the other week, I have been
very busy, so have not had much time to do my e-mail, but I
like your web-pages.
And I found that the guy who is building our pages have linked
your page, which was convenient as your address is quite long.
The Federation web-pages so far go in his name, and there is an
English version too. That address is also long, so its easiest to
find them if you do an AltaVista search on "Håkan Skogsjö".
And could you please change the name of our organization to
"The Federation of Swedish Genealogical Societies", I got it in
the wrong order.
Best wishes from rainy Sweden!

Ed,
Four Swedish hurrays for Charlotte's very funny poem!
By the way, on the very old clock on the old barn at Härlingstorp
it is written, if I remember correctly, "12" and "6" regulary, the
other numbers are the Gyllenhaal letters, as they are ten.

Hi, Ed--
Your web site is looking good! I'm planning to set up my own
soon and was wondering if you had any advice for a fellow FTM
user. Any pitfalls I should be on the lookout for?
Thanks,

Super, Super Page.
I'm looking for information re my father's father.
Definitely from Sweden. There was talk of a connection to the royal family.
May have had some trouble and changed his name to Fred Thoresen upon arrival in USA.
Fred was his dead brother's name.
At some point he moved to Alberta Canada. My dad was born in Viking AB.
Once again - great page!

Dear Ed,
You have made a very big improvement on those pages. I should have
checked since I sent you my comments.
And this guest book is a very good idea too, congratulations!
I will now cheque more things.
Bye for now!
Warm regards

Subject: First visit to your Web site
I've just spent some time on your Web site. Needless to say,
as a Gyllenhaal, it's an utter treasure trove of interesting material.
As I mentioned in the message earlier today, I'll send along material
shortly. I certainly want to commend you on all the work that you've
done. It's a fascinating project.

Congratulations on a most impressive, inspiring project. My family
comes from the North Frisian island Foehr, which used to be Danish,
and for that reason I check soc.genealogy.nordic periodically and was
delighted to find reference to your homepage.
Good luck and success!

Subject: Great site!
Nice job. Enjoyed browsing your site. However, without some idea of
WHERE all these folks lived (Swedish county, US state), I can't
tell if there's any chance of finding a link between our lines.
Virtually all of my husband's Swedish line--Grund family--was from
Gavleborg and Vasternorrlands counties. When did the first Gyllenhaal
emigrate to the US? Where did they settle? Maybe it's just because
I'm a geographer by training, but I do seem to be more attuned to
location than time!
