227.0. "Where is (was?) Hammil, Sweden?" by CADSYS::INSINGA (Aron K. Insinga) Mon Aug 03 1987 21:18

I haven't been able to find a very good map of Sweden, so I was hoping that
someone reading this conference would be able to help me.  I'm trying to find
where Hammil, Sweden is.  (If possible, what l�n it is in.)  The reference
to Hammil is about an ancestor of mine who was born there in 1615/1617, and I
don't know if that is a 17th century spelling, or the current spelling.
Thank you.

227.1Could it be Hammelen?STKOFF::SKORDBYTue Aug 04 1987 11:348
    I have checked a few sources but no one has been able to find a
    place called Hammil. There exist a Hammelen in the south of Sweden
    (in Sk�ne) though, and a Hammel in Denmark.
                                    
    Are you really sure about the spelling?

No, I am not sure about the spelling.  Hammelen sounds very close.
I will have to check with a cousin, who has the "raw data."

Tack s� mycket!
