Courage and Grief
Courage and Grief illuminates in a nuanced fashion Sweden’s involvement in Europe’s destructive Thirty Years’ War (1618–48). Focusing on the various roles women performed in the bloody and extended conflict, Mary Elizabeth Ailes analyzes how methods of warfare and Swedish society were changing in profound ways. This study considers the experiences of unmarried camp followers and officers’ wives as well as peasant women who remained in the countryside during times of conflict and upheaval. Women contributed to the war effort in a variety of ways. On campaign they provided support services to armies in the field. On the home front they helped to minimize disruptions incurred within their frayed communities. As increasing numbers of men left to fight overseas, women took over local economic activities and defended their families’ interests. Such activities significantly altered the fabric of Swedish society. Examining women’s wartime experiences in the Thirty Years’ War enhances our understanding of women’s roles in society, the nature of female power and authority, and the opportunities and hardships that warfare brought to women’s lives.
Aggressive and Violent Peasant Elites in the Nordic Countries, C. 1500-1700
This book investigates the forms that the aggression and violence of peasant elites could take in early modern Fennoscandia, and their role within society. The contributors highlight the social stratification, inner divisions, contradictions and conflicts of the peasant communities, but also pay attention to the elite as leaders of resistance against the authorities. With the formation of more centralised states, the elites’ status and room for agency diminished, but regional and temporal variations were great in this relatively drawn-out process, and there still remained several favourable contexts for their agency. Even though the peasant elite was not a homogenous entity, the chapters in this collection present us one uniting feature – the peasant elites’ tendency to assert themselves with an active and aggressive agency, even if this led to very different outcomes.
Houses, Families, and Cohabitation
This book is an interdisciplinary study that draws on a combination of archaeological evidence, building archaeological analysis, archival sources to explore the dynamic relations between dwelling houses, social organization of households, and patterns of cohabitation during the eighteenth century. The empirical focus of this book is on Swedish towns, but it also addresses more general issues about urbanity and urban life, space and social organization, and materiality and individual agency. Aggregated questions about urban life and urban space are combined with a micro historical method revealing aspects of daily life and urban change. This study unveils a previously neglected history.

Farfar Johns anor från Årsunda, Stockholm och Turinge
Denna bok handlar om farfar John Broman och hans ursprung. Hans äldsta funna förfader farfars farfar Axel Broman var barnhusbarn i Stockholm och kom 1855 som fosterbarn till Årsunda församling i Gävleborg. Axels haplogrupp är R-BY202860* som jag fått genom att låta testa en manlig kusin. Farfar John föddes 1895 i Årsunda och många av hans anor har sitt ursprung i de flesta av byarna i Årsunda socken. Axels anor på mödernet kom från Turinge i Nykvarns församling i Sörmland. Flera berättelser om anorna finns, tex om Årsundas första barnmorska och om Axels 90-årsdag. Boken innehåller flera släktträd. En del om de olika byarnas historia och några andra historiska skeenden finns.
Släktboken om Familjen Gustafssons Anfäder
Boken ger en sammanställning av familjen Gustafssons släkt på min Lennart Gustafssons sida. Människorna i boken har mestadels levt som drängar, statare, pigor och smeder och bruksarbetare på olika platser i Östergötland och Närke. Släkten härstammar från Värmland, Östergötland och främst i Norrköpings och Söderköpings församlingar. Även en del soldater såsom Livgrenadjärer och Ryttare förekommer och även vissa inslag av valloner. Släktboken spänner över nio från Lennarts födelse och bakåt till slutet av 1600 -talet. Uppgifter och information i boken är inhämtad genom traditionell släktforskning i församlingarnas kyrkböcker. Arbetet med släktboken har varit mycket givande och intressant samtidigt som det gett en känsla av att ha kommit avlägsna och avlidna släktingar lite närmare.

Släkten Söderström-Hertzman
Boken gestaltar släkten Söderström - Hertzman, från Skåne, Småland och Östergötland, via de avtryck Thilda Ulrika Christina Hertzman (1836 - 1904) och hennes anhöriga från tidigare led lämnat i arkiv och kyrkböcker. En gången värld med representanter ur alla samhällsskikt öppnar sig. Mångfalden är slående, landsbygdens rusthållare och bönder liksom torpare och tjänstehjon, städernas tulltjänstemän och herrgårdens betjänter, präster och fattiga kyrkvaktare, alla tar sin plats. Sveriges krigsmakt är väl representerad med artillerister, kavallerister och rotesoldater. En husar ryms med. Boken är ett resultat av mångårig arkivforskning, där digitaliserade kyrkoarkiv, mantalslängder och militära handlingar utgjort merparten. Sekundära källor av vikt har varit historieböcker, biografier, matriklar, ättartavlor, dagstidningar, hembyggdföreningars material bland flera andra källor.
Planning for Death
The volume Planning for Death: Wills and Death-Related Property Arrangements in Europe, 1200-1600 analyses death-related property transfers in several European regions (England, Poland, Italy, South Tirol, and Sweden). Laws and customary practice provided a legal framework for all post-mortem property devolution. However, personal preference and varied succession strategies meant that individuals could plan for death by various legal means. These individual legal acts could include matrimonial property arrangements (marriage contracts, morning gifts) and legal means of altering heirship by subtracting or adding heirs. Wills and testamentary practice are given special attention, while the volume also discusses the timing of the legal acts, suggesting that while some people made careful and timely arrangements, others only reacted to sudden events. Contributors are Christian Hagen, R.H. Helmholz, Mia Korpiola, Anu Lahtinen, Marko Lamberg, Margareth Lanzinger, Janine Maegraith, Federica Masè, Anthony Musson, Tuula Rantala, Elsa Trolle Önnerfors, and Jakub Wysmułek.
