Titel: Berry U.S. surname - Swedish origen?

Hi Matt (discussion transferred here from the Emigranten CD Lookup board) Yes, the family listed in the El Paso, Colorado 1900 census is the one I am researching.
The birth date I have written for Christina in my queries was taken from the death certificate for Christina Berry, information provided by her son Charles. Admittedly, this could be incorrect. The 1880 census listing for her (spelled Christinie Berry) in Springfield Illinois, gives an age that is somewhat unclear, but, magnified, appears to read 45 years. (would be approx. 1835 birth year)
Death certificate for son Albert gives birth as Aug.2,1869. (1900 census gives Aug. 187_.)
Death certificate for son Charles gives birth as Feb. 17,1872. (1900 census gives Sept. 1873)
Immigration year of 1866 in 1900 census would cause questions when comparing to information about oldest son August, born in Stockholm, age 17. (1880 census entry) 1880 is the only census entry ever found for him - and I have really searched.
All four children of this couple are listed in 1880 census under Christinie Berry (Ancestry on line records) in Springfield, Sangamon, Illinois.
