Biblisbloggen: Håkan Lindström föreläser i KB om Penguin Books
Aside
I kväll föreläser Håkan Lindström om Penguin Books på Kungliga Biblioteket. Föredraget är öppet för allmänheten, och jag vill varmt rekommendera alla som är intresserade av böcker och bokformgivning att komma.

Gustaf Björkman and Britta Rålin
I have now found written evidence that Gustaf Björkman, my great-great-great-great-great grandfather, belonged at Toftaholm in the municipality of Dörarps socken, at least when he and Britta Christina Rålin were married in 1801. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any further data about him in the sources from Dörarp, neither in the birth registers nor in the house examinations (the oldest available at Ancestry.se are from 1805).
I have also gathered information about Britta Christina Rålin’s family: her mother, also named Britta, had at least four children. Who might be the father or fathers of the children is still wrapped in mystery.
