Fellingsbro Parish, Örebro, Sweden Genealogy

Guide to Fellingsbro Parish, Sweden ancestry, family history, and genealogy: birth records, marriage records, death records, census records, family history, and military records.

History
It was in 1857 when a railroad between Örebro and Arboga was built and a station in Fellingsbro was opened east of the parish church. A new urban area with shops and small mechanical industries soon grew up around this railroad station. This urban area was called Fellingsbro after the name of the parish. It became a municipality of its own in 1911, but was again united with the rest of the parish in 1957 and in 1971 Fellingsbro Municipality was incorporated into Lindesberg Municipality.
