Sjobolad is not a Swedish name, but Sj㶢lad is, and Sj㶢lad translates literally into sealeaf. It's neither a very common nor a very unusual name. The Swedish telephone directory at eniro.se gives 171 persons/families with that name. The most wellknown and used genealogical Swedish site is R㶴ter, which has some English pages at http://www.genealogi.se/roots/ . You can post your questions on the forum or search some of the databases. Finland: try the Genealogical Society of Finland at http://www.genealogia.fi/indexe.htm... . Good luck! |
