Swedish family line that originated in Nora, Orebro Lan, Sweden
According to the Lansarkivet 1 uppsala, Clerical Survey Records for Nora parish,1860-1871 (vol.AI:20, page213)
Lars Eric LINDENAU was a tailor, and lay minister, and the founding forefather of our Swedish Lindeneau family
line. There's a few theories to Lars' background and Iwill be stating them here.
To start for now:
Theory #1: Records show Lars was born a Hellbom to unmarried maid Maria Margareta Hellbom, born 22 March
1821. In 1835, when he married ,he took up using the name Lindeneau. No known father has been found to date for Lars.
Family stories state that Lars was the youngest of three sons. That the father of the three boys drowned at sea. The father
was supposedly the son of a nobleman connected to the Drottingham Palace in Stockholm where records show Sophia did spend
several summers.
Records show that Lars Eric's mother, Maria Margareta Hellbom, worked as a "governess" in Stockholm, where
she first became pregnant. Maria and Lars were reputed to have many arguments concerning the upbringing of Lars' children.
The family of the father of Lars, and the other brothers, common law husband to Maria Margareta Hellbom,
fought Lars and Johanna for rights to Lars' children (Landsarkivet I Uppsala, Clerical Survey Records 1860-1871 (vol. A I:20,
page 213)) for full custody. Lars and Johanna did bring the seven children to Stockholm to visit their family at the 'palace'.
Oral stories by Sophia August LINDENEAU states that her grandfather shared a birthdate with her (4th of May) and she
remembered attending parties at the 'palace', only allowed to play with local children on the birthday celebration, otherwise
the LINDENEAU children were allowed to play on the grounds behind the gates. We have NOT pinpointed which family member of
the then court family was 'father' to Lars, the name of the contesting family records of Lars' father's family name, have
been stricken from the clerical records, possibly due to the father's family's political strength?
Working now on finding a way to the records of governesses hired by the royal family during the time prior
to Lars' birth. Records do show Sophia in Stockholm during several summers. Who did she stay with? Another clue that may help
is that, Judith Aquilina Lindeneau, sang for the Kings Opera in Sweden many, many times. The King's family, during that time,
was known for their love of the opera, even building an opera theater in Stockholm where Judith was known to have performed. These
and other clues have to help break down the wall someday.
