Our Åfeldt family has its deepest known roots in the landscape of Uppland, located in eastern part of Sweden. Therefore our family history has strong bonds with these historical locations. The beautiful Viksta church located in the northeast part of the Swedish landscape of Uppland. In 1745 our ancestor and forefather Nils/Niclas Åfeldt married Gunilla Margareta Sahlgren in this church. It's from their children and grandchildren that all living Åfeldts are descending from today.

The Family Name Åfeldt
The spelling of the family name has always been a topic of discussions. Is there really a correct spelling and a "correct" version of the name? Where does the name comes from?
Family Trees
To keep track of all persons with any connection to our family, I have made a number of family trees which can be found here. It wasn't enough with one single family tree due to all information, so I had to make several ones. They are not fully completed, so that is an on-going project.You can download the family trees both as PowerPoint .PPT format and Adobe Acrobat .PDF format.
