My grandfather was Johan Emil Ekberg who changed his name to John Emil Johnson. Came here in early 1900's with family. Brothers were Oscar Johnson (came first), Nels (Walter), and Alfred Ekberg who did not change his name. Sisters were Ida and Bena. Their mother came also, name of Boel. Father had died in Sweden and had a job with the government. They settled in NW Iowa. I have some of Boel's weavings. Would like to learn more. Does anyone have any info or suggestions as to how I go about finding info? I am housebound.

I have a great-grandmother, Hanna Ekberg, who lived near Malmö in Sweden. She married my great-grandfather and moved to the danish island Bornholm.
I think she came from a town called Glimåkra or something like that. Its about 15 kilometers NE of Malmö.
Something you can use ?

My great grandpa was Emil Ekberg (born 1890) from Iowa and South Dakota. I believe he had siblings named Alfred, Nils and Esther. His mom was possibly Ellen from Sweden but US census doesn't show a father. Does this fit your family history??

Surnames: Ekberg, Johnson
My great-grandfather is Nels W. Ekberg, also known as Johnson. I am looking for any information on him and his family. His wife was Amanda Cristine Peterson and their daughter Evelyn was my grandmother. Also, if anybody is interested, I just posted on a facebook group "Carvel and Evelyn Ferrand Family" 40 unidentified pictures thought to be from her side of the family that had been stored at my grandmothers farm. Feel free to browse through them. If you recognize somebody as a relative, please, please let me know. It is open to everybody.
