In 1939 my far far recieved a letter from a Hilda Stenkvist living in Medalpad.  In the letter she refered to my grandfather as his sister-in-law.  How do I find what her maiden name was.  I'd like to know if she was a ex wife of my grandfather's brother or a sister to my far mor.
In the 1880 Swedish Census, I found only one male Stenkvist

Thank-you for your response.
My grandfathers name was Nils Sjöberg, birth date is vauge, somewhere between 1857 to 1860.  On his  
'passport', he listed Växsjöfors (He visited Sverige in 1930).   After some searching I found it to be Vägsjöfors in Varmland.  I've searched parish records and could not find him.  Therefore, I believe he served in the Swedish Navy and went through the surname change prior to his emigrating to the USA in 1889.  The letter referenced in my first post, informed him of the death of who I believe was his brother, Johannes.  The Letter stated that she received the news from both Landsfiskal (general, not specific), and Gårdsjöberg.  Gårdsjöberg appeared in the parish records in 1850, after a family (Nils Sjöberg - my g-grandfather?) visited, stayed about 3 months.  Where they came from, moved to, and his occupation I could not read.
My fathers Mothers name was Lena Johnsson (Jonsson, Jansson, or another variation) I expect to never find unless Hilda Stenkvist is her sister.
Quite a large response for such a short question.
Thank-you for even reading of my plight.

As an afterthought, in searching the 1880 census, I cannot believe there are so many Nils who have a brother named Johannes born during that period of time

The above Nils Persson Stenqvist, born 1857-12-17 who emigrated in 1888, was like his brother Johannes, living in Gårdsjöberg, Värmland at the time of emigration.  
 
Name: NILS PERSSON STENQVIST
Gender: M     Born: 1857-12-17
Parish: NORRA NY     County: S (Värmland)
Occupation/Title: TORPARESON      
Resident: GÅRDSJÖBERG
Emigration date: 1888-04-07     Age: 30
Single/Family: Single
Destland: N. AMERIKA  
     
Is it possible that Nils Persson Stenqvist changed his last name after arriving to the U.S and chose the name Sjöberg (later Shuberg) after his home village Gårdsjöberg? I know it says in the 1900 U.S census that he was born in December 1859, not in December 1857 but who knows? The reason I ask is because his brother Anders Persson Stenqvist, born 1864 married a Tilda Maria Svensson (not Hilda). They both lived in Medelpad at the time of their death.

I have attempted to reply twice to thank-you for your help, but each time they disappeared into cyber-space.
Helene, yes, that is my family you found in the US census.  The birthdate you give is the same as on his death certificate.  
The 1880 Swedish census I was using (Riksarkivet) shows Johannes as Johanna.  I've forwarded a request for correction onto them.
Numerous questions are still to be answered but, most will remain unanswered.
Again, thank-you both very much for aiding me in finding my ancestors.
