Dear List Members, Thank you to everyone who have helped me with locating the Swedish family of my buddy’s wife. He just attended a family reunion of the JOHNSON family.

When his sister Johanna MAGNUSDOTTER came to America, she to in turn chanced her name to SÖDERBERG to match that of her brother. After she married John Olaus JOHNSSON married Hannah SÖDERBERG, in Wisconsin, the moved to Seattle. Gustaf in turn moved with them. Thanks to the efforts of this list, this has turned out to be a very successful endeavor. Tomorrow, I will attempt to locate another family at the LDS History Center. With me luck. Regards, Lance

Not aware of a 1930 census, but found a record in 1900/1910 for an Ellen Viktoria born 27 Mar 1890 in Berga village/farm, Glanshammar parish, Örebro (no Berg or Berga parish in Örebro) but parents were Lars Johan Larsson and Johanna Kristina Eriksson. It's difficult to know what surname she used when she emigrated, a check of those records might shed some light.

I would assume, as I have seen in other countries Skattegården would be the farm or community; Askjum the town or village; and Malma the Parish.

As far as I've found it usually means farmer but may also mean that they were retired and supported by the farm, also called "undantagsman". Gård means farm usually.

Anyone having access to the Swedish 1930 census, may I ask you to look up the names of ELLEN VIKTORIA PEDERSSON, born in Berg, Orebro in 1890. I think her husbands names was PER HELGE ARVID PETERSSON, born 1888 in Sweden. In 1917 they had a son, Larry or Harry Petersson born in the the USA. Thank you for your help, Jenny in B.C.Canada

Hi List - I have 2 words that need a translation: gårdman" and "gårdkvinna I thank they might be a yard or garden man and yard or garden woman. Your help is greatly appreciated. Naomi in Illinois

Online Digital Newspaper Collections by State -- The Lists by State http://genealogysstar.blogspot.com/2014/07/online-digital-newspaper-collections-by.html A friend who also does genealogy research sent me the above link, and since we all look for info on our ancestors to augment the documents we obtain, I hope this proves as useful to you wherever you live. I can't vouch for the other states, but I know for a fact that some of the Minnesota links have valuable info from Minnesota papers, especially the link to the Minnesota Historical Society's Minnesota Digital Newspaper Project in conjunction with the Library of Congress' "Chronicling America" project. http://www.mnhs.org/collections/projects/ndnp.php It's where I found out the old family story my first cousin once removed did have an element of truth in it via a Bemidji paper that quoted a Minneapolis newspaper, but it happened much earlier than estimated since the cousin quoted his mother as having seen the incident and it happened before gr-gramps even married.  Gr-Grandfather was shot in the knee over a horse race at the fairground... in 1900..., but omitted from the cousin's account was the info that my gr-grandfather first took a whip to this fellow, according to the newspaper account!  In fairness to gr-gramps, he loved his horses, and the other fellow was apparently using some kind of ankle weights, and IF it was the kind used on certain racing horses, they're horribly painful and my gr-grandfather would never have countenanced inflicting pain on animals.  (I have a pix of him with his favorite team hitched to a wagon, and I even know the names of the horses!) >From another newspaper article in the Cities, said gr-grandfather and his brothers owned a logging company together and they brought a law suit against another company..., and the case went all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court with judgment in their favor.  That info was never talked about in the family, but I don't know why.  There were several paragraphs about the case, as well as other cases the Minnesota Supreme Court decided that term. Also from the same Bemidji paper (some 52+/- miles or so from the region where I grew up), there was a chatty little blurb where a Norwegian immigrant whose son married one of my gr-aunts is quoted as saying that so far harvesting was going well for him. In the small newspaper published in Warren, Minnesota north of where I grew up, my closest friend's Swedish immigrant family is found mentioned many times in the newspaper, and just going through some census data from that area, I know there were many Swedes and Norwegians who homesteaded and farmed in the area.  I love small-town newspapers for their chatty, even mundane news. While you're checking newspapers, don't forget Chronicling America via the Library of Congress.  Pick your state and see what comes up.  You might be as surprised as I was to find your ancestors mentioned in newspaper articles not in the home town but in the state capitol or larger towns/cities. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/ Don't forget to do a Google search periodically on your ancestors' names.  I took to doing that for some names and my Norwegian grandfather's name came up in Google Books in an out-of-print hunting and trapping magazine letters to the editor section that Gramps wrote in 1911 when he was only 15.  Color me surprised! Happy Searching! Bev
