  • Riddarhuset I Ett Europeiskt Perspektiv
    A RTE ET M ARTE : Riddarhuset i ett europeiskt perspektiv Ibland kan det vara nyttigt att fundera över sådant som ter sig som självklart. För svenska ätte - medlemmar är det självklart att det finns ett pampigt Riddarhus i Stockholm, för så har det varit sedan 1600-talet. Lika självklart är att det finns ett stort kapital fördelat på drygt 300 stiftelser och fonder. I det självklara ingår också att det finns ett kansli som kan hantera cirka 2 000 stipendie- och under stöds ansökningar om året, som kan producera Adelskalendern vart tredje år, och inte minst vik - tigt, att ha tillgång till en genealogisk verksamhet som kan föra våra stamtavlor, så vi vet vem som är vem. Ett arkiv, med handlingar från 1500-talet och framåt, som vi har i vårt Riddarhus, är väl också självklart? Ett arkiv, som inte har behövt byta adress under alla dessa år. Det kan vi tacka rikskanslern Axel Oxenstierna för, som sålde tomten i Gamla stan till Ridderskapet och adeln år 1641. För många av våra europeiska motsvarigheter är inget av ovanstående självklart. Ett eget palats till - hör ovanligheterna, ett större kapital lyser med sin frånvaro, ett eget kansli med en genealogisk verk - samhet kan många bara drömma om och ett arkiv skulle vara helt fantastiskt att ha tillgång till. Då skulle det vara lättare att veta vem som är vem. Många vet kanske inte när och hur den familj man till - hör blivit adlad eller av vilken monark. Vem som är vem är en mycket stor fråga för den europeiska noblessen. Man vet inte vilka doku - ment som är äkta, eftersom det är svårt att få fram arkivuppgifter.

  • Swedish Royal Ancestry Book 4 1751-Present
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY SWEDISH ANCESTRY Recent Royalty (1751 - Present) INTRODUCTION Our Swedish ancestry is quite comprehensive as it covers a broad range of the history. For simplicity the information has been presented in four different books. Book 1 – Mythical to Viking Era (? – 1250) Book 2 – Folkunga Dynasty (1250 – 1523) Book 3 – Vasa Dynasty (1523 – 1751) Book 4 – Recent Royalty (1751 – Present) Book 4 covers the most recent history including the wars with Russia that eventually led to the loss of Finland to Russia and the emergence of Finland as an independent nation as well as the history of Sweden during World Wars I and II. A list is included showing our relationship with the royal family according to the lineage from Nils Kettilsson Vasa. The relationship with the spouses is also shown although these are from different ancestral lineages. Text is included for those which are highlighted in the list.

  • KONSTRESA TILL VALINGE GÅRD OCH YTTERJÄRNA KULTURCENTRUM Onsdagen Den 23 Maj
    KONSTRESA TILL VALINGE GÅRD OCH YTTERJÄRNA KULTURCENTRUM Onsdagen den 23 maj Denna resa börjar vid Yngarens strand i Stigtomta socken. Här ligger Valinge gård, Kerstin Hermelins släktgård, där även hennes anmoder Tyra Kleen hade sina rötter. Tyra Kleens far var diplomat och hon fick en kosmopolitisk uppväxt. Redan som 15-åring påbörjade hon sina konststudier i Dresden och därefter i Paris. Efter studieåren flyttade hon till Rom, men hela världen var hennes hem. Tillsammans med Ellen von Platen for Tyra till Indien och Ceylon och så småningom hamnade hon på Java och Bali där hon studerade danskonst. I sitt konstnärskap rörde Tyra Kleen sig från porträtt och landskap till grafiska blad med ockulta motiv – allt med samma drivna teknik och stilsäkra elegans. Hon ställde ut sina verk i bland annat Berlin, Wien, Milano, Rom, Paris, London och Sankt Petersburg och nådde större framgångar internationellt än i hemlandet. Kerstin Hermelin tar emot med en kopp kaffe och en visning av Tyra Kleens verk. Resan fortsätter till Ytterjärna för lunch och ett besök på Kulturhuset, ett kulturellt centrum som invigdes 1992. Kulturhuset ägs av Stiftelsen Antroposofins Hus. Byggnaden är ritad av arkitekt Erik Asmussen och för färgsättningen stod Fritz Fuchs. Den monumentala takmålningen och de färgade glasfönstrens motiv är gjorda av konstnären och folkpedagogen Arne Klingborg. Tid finns för att titta på kringliggande byggnader och ett besök i trädgården och vattenreningstrapporna. På hemvägen besöker vi Saltå kvarn där man bland annat kan köpa mjöl.
