The Börman family
Who was Henrik Michelsson?
We don’t know much about him. He was probably born in Perniö and
he married Carin Larsdotter 29.10 1682. The Börman family is
descended from these two persons.
Michel Andersson from Västanfjärd, Billböle, took the family
name Börman in 1823.
Most of his children Anders, Johan, Gustaf, Abraham and Samuel
used the name. Only the youngest boy Carl and their only sister
Gustava Charlotta didn’t use it.
The oldest son Anders Börman is ancestor to most of the family.

The family place of residence is Västanfjärd. There are many
seamen and farmers in the family.
The family farm Billböle, Lillgård has been in the family since
1688. Michel Andersson was married into the farm 11.11.1794.
In a family meeting in Västanfjärd 10. 9. 2005 it was decided
that a family association should be founded.
The association is open for all descendants of Henrik
Michelsson. Those who wish to join the association may contact
the board.
The purpose of the association is to preserve the family
traditions and promote a feeling of belonging to the family,
organise family reunions, collect, file and publish material
concerning the family and its history.
