Hello all,
My great grandfather, Frans August Andersson, was born in Ryssby, Kalmar
Lan, Sweden in 1858. I just bought a map of Sweden and I'll be darned if I
can find Ryssby. Can anyone help me locate Ryssby? TIA for any help.

Hi, Bob. Check out, among other sources, the "Global Gazetteer" at
http://www.fallingrain.com/world/
Follow through country, lan, and there you go. Zoom in & out, see
current weather, all sorts of good stuff on that site.
Hope this helps,

Use the Search for a Place in Europe and enter Ryssby. It comes back to
ask you to select and you can ask for the larger map. It's just north of
Kalmar on E22!

There is one Frans August born in Helgesbo on the 25th of January, and
there's
another one born on 24th of October in Abbetorp. Could it be one of
these?
Helgesbo is located at 56 deg. 55.1' N and 16 deg. 15.3' E, and Abbetorp

Yes, my great grandfather, Frans August Andersson, was born on 24 October
1858 in Abbetorp. A record of his birth is included in the Ryssby parish
records and also in the clerical survey records for Abbetorp. Abbetorp, I
guess, must have been (and maybe still is) a farm or an estate near Ryssby.

Abbetorp is today no longer a farm but a small village.
