Jacob Andersson Moberg

[Georgina Smith]

I am looking for more information on this family and his children. I know his wife's name was Anna Högberg. Hope I have correct spelling. It would be nice to have dates and place of birth. I was told Ångermanland but not totally sure if that is correct. I know of two sons of Jacob. Johan Anders and Abraham Nils who both emmigrated to America.
 
I will be very happy to get more information for this family!
 
Many thanks!

Georgina: Ångermanland (Y) is correct, i.e. the medieval province denomination;  
today approximately the northern part of the administrative province Västernorrlands län...
 
They were married in Ed parish (Y) 1878 April 24 and born: Jakob in 1846 July 19 in the village of Ottmyran (Skorped), Anna Kristina in 1846 Nov. 23 and Ed (Ed)
 
Their parents: Anders Jakobsson (1821-01-27) / Anna Brita Abrahamsdotter (1822-01-07)
and Nils Högberg (1799-04-04) / Magdalena Flemström (1803-11-28)

Thank you all very much! You have been most helpful!

I am trying to find Anders Johan in the USA. I hope someone will be able to find the date of his emmigration!
 
Also I found something interesting on Ellis Island. Would there be people by the name of Moberg in Ed, that were not related ? I found John Erik Moberg who emmigrated in 1923, age 25 from Ed, and I wonder if he could be related to the above family.
 
Many thanks again!
