Dear Valerie,
I´m very glad to hear from you!
A couple of years ago, I did some research for my close friend Christina. Her grandmother was Göta Ingeborg Nyberg! So you must be a cousin to my friend´s father Ulf Grönlund!
We would be very happy for any information that you can give us! Names, dates, children and some history!
Do you know why they emigrated? I know that Göta Ingeborg was supposed to emigrate too, but probably she got sick and stayed in Sweden with her older sister Judit Augusta. Their younger brother, Karl Edvin, stayed as well until his emigration in 1936.
If you need any information about your Swedish ancestors, please let me know!
After my inquiry on Ancestry, I´ve found following children to Hilma Augusta and Johan Albert:
Judit Augusta b 1909 March 20 in Älvsby, Bäckdal
d 1979 June 6 in Älvsby, Vistträsk
