Bure kinship
Encyclopedia
The Bure kinship is a Swedish kinship which originates from Skellefteå
area, today's Bureå
. Lineages go back fairly reliably to the beginning of the 16th century, although they still have also been extended even back to the beginning of the 13th or 12th century, before modern critical approach.
The earliest genealogy was written in the beginning of the 17th century by Johannes Bureus
in his manuscript Om Bura namn och ätt. He included all descendants also by female lineage and despite of social standing or legitimacy. Thus many sort of families can trace their ancestry back to Bure kinship. Some family lines and individuals have bore the names Bure, Burman and Burensköld.
The manuscript is located at Riksarkivet, and also at the Uppsala University Library
(number X36 and X37). The history of the kinship is complemented by Nils Burman (1705–1750), who wrote about the family-history until the middle of the 18th century.
About the cultural importance of the Bure genealogy in Sweden tells, that the The Knight Templar
novel trilogy by Jan Guillou
partly compares with the early, fictional, Bure ancestry.
Recently there has been genetic research about a connection of the Sjögren–Larsson syndrome to the Bure lineage
