Surnames: Kjellberg and Kellber
Hello. My surname is Kellber and my Swedish grandfather's surname was actually Kjellberg which he changed to Kellber when he moved over here to make it easier for British people to spell and pronounce. Has the spelling been changed to anything else?

My husband's maternal grandfather was Sven Kjellberg. When he immigrated to America the spelling was changed to Kellberg, b. 1898; d. 1961. The family settled in Pittsburgh, PA. He married Matilda Uddstrom, b. 1876; d. 1907, whose family had also settled in Pittsburgh, PA. They both immigrated from Sweden.
Sven was the son of Anton Kejellberg, b.7 Jan. 1848 in Ljuns, Sweden and d. 9 August 1908 in Pittsburgh, PA. He was the son of Sven Kjellberg b. 5 July 1787 in Sweden.

My husband (Edward Dewey) went to Sweden with Sven about 1948 to visit family.
