hi, hope you had a nice holiday. my great-grandfather Carl was born 10/10/1874 in Vestergotland, Sweden. His parentts were Mr. and Mrs. August Sjoberg. He lived for 76 years in Rockford, IL. (immigrating to America around the age of 18 - 1892) and married Sophie Greenberg in Rockford in 1905. He was pre-deceased by one brother and 4 sisters and left a surviving sister (Mrs. Fritz Johnson of Rockford). Perhaps there is a connection with your grandfather. Let me know the next time you are on the board!
