Looking for information for Anders Gustav Carlson born in Längbro, Örebro, Iän (Närke) Sweden in 1852 prior to his immigration to Oak Valley, Minnesota. He married Margretta Sundquist born 1857,  Gävleborg. Have many pictures and info to share. Anybody want to work together?

Can you translate the page to English?

It isn't that much to translate, you have the family there. Father, mother and some children including Anders Gustaf. Year, date and place of birth to the right, farm name Skogsberg on the top.

What does the farm name skogsberg mean? Thanks!

Skog= forest, woods and berg=mountain. This farm is probably located in the woods on some mountain, or on a mountain in the woods.

Or maybe they just thought that it was a nice name. One would have to struggle to find a mountain, or even a hill, in Längbro parish (today in the western parts of the city of Örebro).

I checked the area in google maps now and yes, it is pretty flat. There seem to be a slight hill where the woods are behind the farm, but not even the danes would call it a mountain.

So Carl Anderson was Anders Gustav Carlsson's Father and Stina Lisa Jansdotter (correct last name?)  ? I don't understand how the sons name was decided, It's not like in America where the children take the fathers last name? Anders older brother Carl August died July 26, 1852? Helena Ersdotter was Carl Anderson's mother, what are the other names below her and what relation? Thanks for all the input!!!!!

The son of Carl will get the last name Carl's son - Carlsson. And the daughter will get Carlsdotter. Simple as that.

The persons below Helena Ersdotter are farmhands, one with wife and child.The persons at the bottom of the page have probably nothing to do with the others, but I have not checked.

About Swedish naming traditions. Note that women kept their name even if they married.
