Swedish Maps

The map below shows the areas from which our Silanders and their ancestors came. It is roughly the area in the red box in the map above. (This map can be moved around by left-click-hold and move the mouse. Moving up and down will show Kungsbacka and Lidköping.)

Our "Silander areas" are :

Gothenburg, or Göteborg.

Kungsbacka. A little to the south of Gothenburg.

Vara North-east of Gothenburg, 3/4s of the way to Lidköping.

Sunnersberg (not shown on this initial map) is a little to the north of Lidköping
