Background:
I inherited a set of genealogy charts begun by my grandfather, Frank Lundberg. This, plus the family listings in Svenskarne i Texas gave the parishes of their births. And, I was fortunate that enough of the first generation Americans were still alive when I started tracing the family. I was able to obtain much information from them. But still, I wish I had asked more questions and done so much earlier.

What is presented below is the result of literally thousands of hours of research which I began in 1976. I grew up hearing Swedish spoken in the home, but literally had to teach myself to read the old Swedish. There is a lot more information in probate and other legal records, but my lack of vocabulary is an obstacle to much further research in these fields - other than identifying that they would be of interest.
