| This Dahlin family tree is an attempt to make it possible for the descendants of Jan Andersson (1764–1844) to keep contact with each other although they now are spread over the world. Jan lived in Dalkarlsberg and worked at the mining field there, as a miner, smith, ore-weigher and mine captain, for most of his life. Some of his children took the name Dahlin around 1820. The name is of course taken from the first part of the placename Dalkarlsberg (dal means valley in Swedish). When I started this tree on the net in 1997 I had to make some limitations so I started to follow only the sons, in other words those who have passed on the family name Dahlin. A follow-up of all descendants would of course have been a far more extensive work, but eventually I intend to add those branches of the family tree too. But so far you will find all male descendants here, but I know there sure lacks a lot of information about many of them. So if you would like to add something to the tree, whatever it might be, please e-mail me and I will add it as soon as possible. Unfortunately for those who don't understand Swedish most of the tree is still only in Swedish. But more and more pages are being translated to English as time allows (those with red generation numbers are in English). The creator and webmaster of this tree is Håkan Henriksson in Örebro, Sweden. I am of course also a descendant of Jan Andersson. My mother's mother Stina Dahlin (1912–1996) was a daughter of Julius Dahlin. For those who are interested in the area where the Dahlin family comes from I have made a histrorical site about the Viker area in central Sweden. It's humbly called Allt om Viker (Everything about Viker).
