Hello, Cenneth!
In which part of Sweden do you live? I had a chance to visit Vilhelmina back in September 2004. I thought is was amazing and would love to go back some day.

All of his children emigrated to the USA (except Katarina and Kilian, who died young), but Jonas and his wife Katarina stayed in Sweden. I would love to know what happened to them and where they got buried, if you have any idea.
Would also love to know how the Sjobergs ended up in Lappland and where they came from originally. Denmark? Finland? We certainly don't look Sami.
Best regards,
Sara
