From the Riksarkivet in Sweden

My great grqndfather Carl Theodor (alternately spelled Karl Teodor) was born on the farm Nystugan in Tjellmo, Östergötland, Sweden September 10, 1853 to Anders Larsson and his wife Stina Caisa Jaensdotter who had wed in 1843. He was baptised into the church of Sweden (Lutheran) the next day. The names of his sponsors or godparents are not legible to me. He would be known as Carl Theodor Andersson until as an adult he adopted the name Källman.
Like many of my grandfather's ancestors, Carl most likely had a hard life and died far too young of Tuberculosis. My father Carl Melvin, was named for him.
