When I began my family research, the experts at the FHL said that the name Snöbohm was a name originating on Gotland, and not found elsewhere.
On the SSDI, only one Snobom comes up, an Amanda Snobom. She passed away in Dec 1968 at Great Kills on Staten Island, New York. In1992 I was in NYC, and visited the grave of Amanda, found her obituary, and even talked to an old neighbor of the family. I never did make contact with any descendants, so I placed a post-it on the RootsWeb SSDI, with no responses.
My interest was that my great grandfather, Anton Snöbom Larson, had a brother Oscar who also came to America, but for whom we can not account, so I was hoping this Amanda had been his wife, and might led us to information about Oscar.
In the intervening years I got Amanda’s death certificate, and Social Security Applications, which told she was Norwegian, and gave her husband’s name as Sigurd. This seemed to eliminate Oscar. It also brought up the possibility that the name Snöbom was not just a Gotland name.
A few months ago I decided to start tracking down the non-Gotland Snöboms, and on the Norwegian Digitalarkivet I found a Mary Snøbohm emigrating in the early 1920's from Hisø.
When I tracked down her birth record, her parents were Sigurd Gabriel Snøbohm, and Amanda Malene Kristoffersen, living at Strømmen,Hisøy, and it gave Sigurd’s birthplace as Gotland.
Sigurd was born 3 March 1879 at Pejnarve in Levide Parish, Gotland, and is a grandson of folkskolläre Alfred Theodor Snöbohm. (Boken om Levide, page 193). Amanda was born at Flekkefjord, Vest-Agder, Norway.
