Sursill

[bultn]

Erik Ångerman-Sursill torde vara, om jag inte räknat fel, min farfars farmors farfars mormors mormors morfars far.

Någon annan som härstammar från denne man som levde på 1500-talet?

Min fråga var närmast om det här på Skalman finns Sursill-ättlingar...

Det finns säkert en förklaring av namnet någonstans, men jag hittar den faktiskt inte. Handelsresande i lagrad fisk?

Handelsresande i lagrad fisk?

Uppenbarligen surströmming:

The family in Finland with roots in Umeå which has been surrounded by the most myths is the Sursill clan. The earliest ancestor or progenitor was Erik Ångerman Sursill, the farm owner at Teg in Umeå in the beginning of the 16th century. In addition to the statement that he was an “outstanding” farmer he also traded in fish, among others the fermented variety [called] surströmming. According to the story, he had delivered a consignment of surströmming to Uppsala, but the people in Södermanland didn’t appreciate that type of preserved, soured fish, and accused him of cheating them. It was de facto rotten fish they had received. This apparently gave him the name of Sursill, a nickname he took the sting out of by adopting it as his last name.

Olof Palme härstammar från honom. Jag minns en rubrik i Aftonbladet (eller var det DN?) från tiden då han ännu levde:

"PALME, DU ÄR EN ÄKTA SURSILL!"
