Jacob Truedson Demitz
Jacob Truedson Demitz (born ''Lars-Erik Jacob Ridderstedt'' on August 13, 1948〔Swedish Tax Authority's Skatteverket public records〕) is a Swedish-American writer and entertainment director who wrote a 1996 book about Scandinavian kings and, as Lars Jacob,〔Given in several quotes in entertainment references below〕 has directed hundreds of underground cabaret shows in the United States and Europe since 1972. He grew up in Illinois, returned to Sweden and later lived for extended periods in Florida and California.
==Origin and names==
Demitz was born in Örebro, Sweden,〔 the son of singer Birgit Ridderstedt and C. Erik Ridderstedt,〔''Expressen'', July 19, 1953, p. 3.〕 and first arrived in the United States as an infant, then living in and near Chicago until the age of 13. Through his father's crafts-and-gifts import business and his mother's entertainment ventures he was inspired early in an inter-cultural environment.〔''Chicago Tribune'', October 10, 1985, p. 4:14.〕
Not wanting to be mistaken for a cleric uncle also called ''Lars Ridderstedt'', who had gained notoriety in Sweden,〔Swedish Wikipedia: :sv:Lars Ridderstedt〕 he decided in 1969 to use Jacob as his first name of address. After noticing for many years the problems Americans had in using his parents' last name, he adopted the surname of Demitz in 1980,〔Sälgström, Karl-Gösta (May 23, 1989). ''Dala-Demokraten'', p. 18.〕 the original name from 1693 of the extinct House of Ridderstedt before nobility,〔''Sveriges Ridderskaps och Adels Kalender 1936''. Stockholm: Bonniers. p. 907.〕 and he was the first in 300 years to change his name back.〔
His patronymic Truedson added in 1990, stems from a Scanian great-great-grandfather Trued Abrehamsson,〔''Kristianstadsbladet'', May 9, 1989, p. 11〕 whose lineage has been traced back to the 1640s when the area and the family were Danish, and whose descendants outside of Europe inhabit many of the United States today.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Descendants of Abrehamsson, Trued ) Descent especially through his immigrant son Niels Truhlsen (1847–1921), daughter Anna Hansen (1851–1922) and grandson John Ridderstedt (1875–1952); note: residence is listed on each individual descendant's page, the site has no geographical tables yet.〕
