Dear Madam/Sir,
Excuse me for writing to you in English. You may respond in Swedish. I am Hugo von Meijenfeldt from Bilthoven, the Netherlands.
In the Öja Kyrka you have the Sparreska gravkoret. My question to you is if there is a list with names and dates of the buried Sparres. Especially I am looking for Lovisa Augusta Sparre, widow of fieldmarshall count Johan August Meijerfeldt, who died in Stockholm 16-09-1817. I couldn’t find it in the Öja kyrkoarkiv (SE/ULA/11797).
Thank you in advance for any trouble taken.
Best regards,
Hugo von Meijenfeldt

Dear Madam/Sir,
Excuse me to write to you in English. You can respond to me in Swedish. My name is Hugo von Meijenfeldt. I am living in Bilthoven, the Netherlands.
Last summer I visited many manors in Pommern and Skåne, because the owners invited me to take photographs of the paintings of my ancestors. Before his marriage count Johan August Meijerfeldt (1725-1800) had a natural child, who travelled to Amsterdam and is my great-great-grandfather (despite the little misspelling). Count Meijerfeldt married Lovisa Augusta Sparre (1745-1817), who was the last Sparre-owner of your beautiful estate and was buried in the Sparreska Gravkoret in the Öja Kyrka.
Before I take the trouble of travelling all the way to Stora Sundby I have a question to you: do you have any paintings of her or other relevant material? I enclose the only two black-and-white pictures I have of Louise Sparre.
Thank you in advance for any trouble taken.
Kind regards,
Hugo von Meijenfeldt
