Titel: Isberg-how did this name come to be?
Skrivet av: Chris Bingefors skrivet 2008-08-08, 12:59: This Nils Peter works in Isgärde village for a while (1838-1839), his date of birth is suddenly changed to 1/2 (Feb 1) 1815. There are many Nils Peter in the area, a popular name. But there are also several people in Isgärde who adopt the name Isberg, so the theory that the name comes from that village is very plausible. But we cannot be sure this is the right man.

To illustrate the difficulties, this man has his birth date copied wrongly, a mistake that follows him as he moves, then changes his patronymic from Nilsson to Pettersson (which is more correct) as he works at the vicarage in Glömminge. But he is not the right man, he seems to stay at the vicarage through the first part of the 1850s. The records are not very good in this area, so the right person may be difficult to find.
