Thanks for the pointers. I will follow up asap. The Mossbergs in question did not come to the US as far as I know.

Hej Judy! I'd love to help you find your way with Swedish archives. May I also suggest that you join the SWEDEN List at www.Rootsweb.com , subscribe there and start reading the emails. It's a very active list, posting 600 emails a month, etc. Also, I have researched my girlfriend's name of Mossberg! She lives here in California. do you know from where the Mossberg's came, and did they come to Illinois??? I have helped her with her research so have some info on her line. Swedish records are incredible! They were taken yearly by the parish priests. Also, when it comes to reading them, the Sweden List is excellent. You can access the same info at the Family History Centers but you still need help reading the old writing and the abbreviations that they uses. So, join the list for sure.
