Hans Olsson Sjärna (1445-1522)
1445--1522 (man)
* 1445 (approximately), Stora Kopparberg, Dalarna (W)
† 1522 (approximately), Stora Kopparberg, Dalarna (W)
C: Nils Hansson [Stjärna] (*1490, †1560, Stora Kopparberg, 2003); Kristoffer
Hansson (†1585).
H: Hans Olsson was a bergsman (mine owning farmer) in Främsbacka and
nämndeman (permanent juryman) in gruvrätten (lawman in the mine court) in
Stora Kopparberg parish in Dalarna (W) (“Gamble Hans Olsson på Fremds
backa”) (S: Skoklostersamlingen 57). Hans Olsson is the oldest known and
documented progenitor of the Stjärna family, which together with the
Svinhuvud family, are the two old bergsmansläkterna (mine owner families)
and frälsesläkterna (lower “nobility” families) in Hosjö in Kopparbergslagen
in Dalarna. The Stjärna family members used a weapon that included a sixpointed
(sexuddig) star. The glass painting in color in Vika Church, for
example, had a shield in white and blue and a yellow-red image of six pointed
pieces that combined form a star (S: E. Hemström, 2000).
Hans Olsson had two brothers: Olof Olsson and Markvard Olsson.
Descendants from the three brothers would later populate a large part of the
areas around Hosjön and Kniva bergslag in Kniva in Dalarna. The Stjärna
family might originate in Denmark and Hans Olsson’s father might be a
certain Olof Nilsson, who apart from his name remains unknown, but this link
remains open to interpretation due to scarce primary sources (S: E.
Hemström, 2000).
