Looking for descendants of Sven O. and Elin Snöbohm Dahlberg.

Elin Olivia Christina Snöbohm was born 1 Jun 1884 at Lukase, Hablingbo, Gotland, Sweden. She was my great grandfather, Anton Snöbom Larson’s niece. Elin came to America in 1907 to New York to meet her fiancé Sven Olausson Dahlberg. I do not know where they were married, but they have three children: Karin 1916, Eric 1918, Ruth 1923.

Sven is listed in 1909, 1910 at Springfield, MA. The 1910 City Directory, page 174, shows: “Dahlberg, Sven O rem to New York City”. I do not find them in NYC, but do later at Detroit and Dearborn, MI.

The family is on the 1920 and 1930 censuses at Detroit, MI (1920 = ED 139, 5B, 92; 1930 = ED 82-891, 21A, 24), and in the Detroit City Directories from 1916-1930. They are then listed in Dearborn Directories in 1930 and 1932. At this point I lose them in the records. Sven is a carpenter and contractor.

I believe Sven is born 21 Jun 1880 at Bredäng,Torhamn,Blekinge,Sweden, son of Peter Olaus Jonasson , and Bothilda Svensdotter.

An Eric Dahlberg passed away in Lee County, Florida 27 Dec 1982. I could not find an obituary in the local papers, and do not know where he is buried.
