Looking for my Estonian heritage
Postitatud: Laupäev 08. Jaanuar 2022, 14:16:01
Dear friends!
My name is Jan Lindahl and I live in Gothenburg Sweden. I made a DNA test showing I am 63% Scandinavian, 14% Finnish and surprisingly for me 23% Baltic. I see myself as a genealogist and have made some research in Sweden. Now I want to learn more about my Baltic heritage since it is a big part of my DNA. The only link I have is that the father of my grandfather on my fathers' side was born in Tartu. My DNA suggests there must have been many relatives living in the past in your beautiful country and presumably even today.
The father of my grandfather was Johannes August Kruse. Born in Tartu 23.06.1888 at 5 pm and baptised 17.07.1888. His father was Johan Woldemar Kruse, a shoemaker and his mothers' name was Anna. I do not know her name as a girl and I do not know if her name is Kruse after marriage, what was the custom at the time?
I have tried to find more information through the Saag portal, but it takes time to learn the system so I have to date no success. I will keep on trying.
Do you have an idea on how to go about it to find more information? Do you have some information? I would really appreciate your help and maybe I can help you sometime.
