The Ankarcrona family is a Swedish noble family of German origin, which settled in Sweden in the 17th century.
The family originated from Christoffer Jakobsson, a German Protestant convert who immigrated from Bohemia to Sweden in the 17th century, and resided in Ronneby in Sweden. Two of his grandsons were ennobled, but these branches ceased to exist in 1719 and 1750.
The now living branch stems from his third grandson, the assessor Jakob Christoffer in Karlskrona. He was ennobled in 1751. [1] [2]

The Swedish nobility has historically been a legally and/or socially privileged class in Sweden, and part of the so-called frälse. The archaic term for nobility, frälse, also included the clergy, a classification defined by tax exemptions and representation in the diet. Today the nobility does not maintain its former legal privileges although family names, titles and coats of arms are still protected. The Swedish nobility consists of both "introduced" and "unintroduced" nobility, where the latter has not been formally "introduced" at the House of Nobility (Riddarhuset). The House of Nobility still maintains a fee for male members over the age of 18 for upkeep on pertinent buildings in Stockholm.
The Governor of a province of Finland headed the activities of the State Provincial Office until the end of 2009, when the provinces were abolished. The governors were appointed by the President.

The title of maaherra was also considered a personal title, such that once appointed, the title maaherra remained for life.

The Natt och Dag is a Swedish noble family and the oldest surviving family of pure Swedish extraction, with origins stretching back at least as far as the late thirteenth century. However, the actual name Natt och Dag, alluding to the contrasting colours of its coat of arms, was not coined until the sixteenth century, and was not used as a surname by the family itself until the eighteenth century It is therefore customary to write the name in parentheses when applying it to individuals prior to 1700.
