Bjugg-släkten

Where are they from?

There are a few Bjugg families scattered around Sweden. The word bjugg comes from the old type of wheat that was grown in old times sometimes called korn. The question is: Which family do the Bjuggs in Gunnilbo come from?

Per Sandersson

(c.1575 – bef.1657)

Fjärdingsman

My friend, research partner and distant cousin Peter Sjögren found a document from 1657 that is a will for Per Sandersson and his wife Marit Månsdotter. He carefully transcribed the document as well. From this document we can see that Hans Lorentsson is his son-in-law (måg).
