The Sundberg Family in English

The Emigrants
Painting by Knut Ekvall (1843-1912)

Here on my Genealogical homepage you can find material about the Sundberg family which descends from Anders Svenson (1693) and Sven Sundberg (1719) from the parish of Ova, Västergötland. Several members of the Sundberg family have emigrated to the US of A so I am going to make some of my genealogical material available in English

Family Stories

Here I am going to place some stories about the family:

A letter from Hulda Sundberg (1856-1931) to her father Lars Magnus Sundberg (1824-1910), this letter was written in 189?

Ingemar Sundberg have told me som storys about the life in "Wild Wästergötland" in yesteryears

Florence Sundberg Yeager wrote in 1965 "a letter for her grandparents Charles John Sundberg and Caroline Warnick" from Warnick family History Vol 1.

The town Skara has been an important place for several generations of the family so I have posted a short history of the town

From Catholic Encyklopedia (1913) I got this account of the Catholic church and its diocese and bishops in Skara in the early middle ages.

The first "Sundbergs" were closely connected to Mariedals castle so I have posted a short description of it.

Several generations of the Sundberg family have been living in the parish Skånings-Åsaka, i have gathered some informations about the parish church.

I have also found an article about Västergötlands oldest history that might be of interest.

I got this short history of Swedish emigration to the US from the House of Emigrants in Växjö.

The Warnick family history
1966 was The Warnick family history Vol I publisht, one Warnick was married to a Sundberg so its material about the family. Since its long out of print for a long time so i have tried to publish it.

Missing branch

Several members of my family have moved to America and, if you know anything, please contact me. One of them was Charlotta Josefina Johansdotter, born 1856-12-23. She might have called herself "Andersdotter" or "Sundberg". She left for Amerika 1881-10-12 from Ova, Skaraborg. Her father was Johannes Andersson and her mother was Maria Lena Sundberg. I do not know where she might have moved.
