| | A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BOMSTAD / ØRN FAMILY IN FINLAND AND TROMS, NORWAY |
 | | According to Nils Johan Fosli, of Troms, Norway (Genealogist), Johannes Josefsson Orn was a "Kven" settler in Balsfjord in 1776. |
 | | Pello lies directly on the Swedish/Finnish border, about midway between the towns of Muonio and Tornio (on the north and south respectively.) Muonio, where he was stationed and married Susanna Larsdatter, is located on the Swedish/Finnish border, close to the adjoining border of Norway, and close to Enontekio, Finland. |
 | | According to the Tromso, Troms, Norway Church book (per L.D.S. film #127128), Johannes Josefsson Orn may have suffered an injury to one of his hips, which may have led to his retirement from military duty for Sweden, and subsequent health problems with his hips. |
