Re: sjoblom-shoblom-same?
Hi Sherry, yes - you are correct. This is your Aunt in Australia. I sent much of this info to your Dad. You can contact him about what I sent or contact me as I have that info for you. Glad to know you're interested in family history!

Re: sjoblom-shoblom-same?
I don't know if this is any relation, but I have a great-aunt (Amanda Josefina Anderson) that married a John Albin Sjobom. I was wondering if the "l" was left out of the name and could be from this family. I have not had any luck finding either of these people under the name of Sjobom. Her daughter was Judith (Sjobom) Keavney. I know that Judith lived in Montana.

Re: sjoblom-shoblom-same?
Yes, they are. I am a descendent of Victor Sjoblom. I believe my grandfather Bert was his son. Many members of our family are changing the spelling of the name back to Sjoblom!
