I am looking for birth information on Amanda Wiberg, Her name has also been shown as Marta Amanda Wiberg. She was born Dec 31 1877 in Stöde, Vasternorrland. She emigrated to the U.S. in 1902 leaving from Gustafsberg, Alnö, Vasternorrland.
According to her passenger manifest she was going to Chicago, IL to her cousin Axel Blomqvist. Axel was my grandmother's brother and I am trying to find out how this Amanda fits into our family. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you Judy for all this information. Now I can get to work to see where she fits into my Swedish family on my mother's side.

Hello Naomi,
Tomas Petter Wiberg and his wife and children lived for a while in a village
called Wigge (Vigge today) in Stöde parish.
Me and some friends have made a homepage about this village. We have a lot of information
about everything that concerns this village.
In our register Tomas Petter Wiberg is called Jonas Petter Wiberg, I am not sure why
(perhaps a mistake from my side). Anyway, the rest of the information is correct.
You can find the family on this page:
http://www.viggesidan.com/nyttregister/vigge.html
(search for Martha Amanda born 1877 or Wiberg Jonas Petter born 1849).
As you can see Marthas mother Kajsa Vendela Jonsdotter ancestors are coming from Vigge
(at least nine generations).
Tomas Petter Wiberg and his family moved to Hässjö in the year 1884.
Tomas brother Johan Arvid Kjellberg was involved in some organized crime that took place in the village in 1882.
He was the leader for a gang of people that commited theft of hay and timber.
But they also burned down a few houses to collect the insurance money.
One of the houses they burned down was Tomas Petter Wibergs.
If you look at our homepage and search (Sök) for the name Wiberg you will find links
describing these events. But all the text are in Swedish and I don't have time to
translate it all. Perhaps some day, when I have a lot of spare time I could translate it.
As you can see we have a lot of information on our homepage, and to translate it all
would take a very long time :-)
