A greeting card surfaced when a relative passed and so I believe I may have American relatives. In 1963 the address on the envelope is: Mr. & Mrs. A.B. Ekberg/Kingston Ave./Chicago, Illinois. I have a photo of a family with four children with their names on the back. I believe the name Arthur is one to look for. I hope this is acceptable under the guidelines because I don't have any other information.

Thank you for answering!
I think this Arthur Ekberg had a son named Burt. If that is so he probably married a Charlotte and had four children by the names of Paul Arthur, Rebecca Ann, Gayle Caroline and Claire Violet. Are these names familiar? I do have a photo but since at least some of the children should be alive I cannot post it. I believe Arthur Ekberg died some time between 1964 and 1970.
Sincerely
Annika

I kids names do not ring a bell, however, Kingston Avenue is really raising a flag for me. The Arthur Ekberg I am related to passed on in 1985. I will continue to research this as I have been very busy on this tree as of late. There has got to be a tie of some kind in there somewhere.
Thanks for the quick response. If you decide sometime to post the picture or maybe you could email it to me I would assure you it would not be used for any other purpose than that of ID'ing indiviuals. I would then delete if if it is not a match.
Thanks again, Kristina Ekberg Cahill

Thank you!
I would of course be very interested if you found a link:-) About the photo, the guidelines of this forum doesn't allow me to post it, and since I'm not a paying member but only a guest I can't reach you personally. But please, if you find a link between our trees I'd be happy to find a way of getting it to you!
Love
Annika

Selma is my Great Grandmother. I have perused your website for the past several years. Thank you for having such wonderful information! Have you found any more information for Joan Kornfelt, who would have been Selma's father in Law? He was married to Maja-Stina Persdotter (1823-1846). I am stumped at this point on that side of the family. I would like to be able to go further back. It is so wonderful to finally hear from you. I have sent emails to your website to give you more information about the Ekberg side of the family. I hope we can collaborate further on this, as I have been working on my family history for about 7 years now. My father is Kenneth A Ekberg and His parents were Arnold Claus Ekberg and Doris Lorraine Holst-Ekberg. I look forward to hearing from you!
