Hallberg, Charles R

[Joakim Jönsson]

Hi,
 
I need some help with this couple:
 
This information I got from US and I'm trying to find them in Sweden:
Charles R. Hallberg  (b1855) who married Emma C. Anderson (b 1861) had 12 children and came from somewhere close to or around Gothenburg,  They were farmers. They came to Amercia around 1881.  Some say he came first and then sent for her, others say they came together.
 
I'm helping some friends to find their ancestors and this couple is the last one in the list but I haven't solved it yet.
I do not know where they setteled in US and no census access to check the year of immigration. I suspect that the year is wrong.
 
Anyone recognises the names?
regards
Joakim Jonsson

[Judy Olson Baouab]

Who were the children? Were any of them born in Sweden? If so, what are details on those children?
 
What is listed for a month and year of birth in the 1900 U.S. Federal Census for those who came from Sweden? Were the years of birth estimated or were they found on some document or record? What is the source of the birth years?
 
Were they married before or after leaving Sweden? The number of years a couple has been married is listed on the 1900 and 1910 U.S. Federal Censuses.  
 
Where did they live after coming to the U.S.?
 
It seems that the person you are trying to help hasn't provided you with some important information, and the information can be found in U.S. Censuses which are available online.
 
Judy

[Joakim Jönsson]

Well I agree Judy,
 
the information I have got isen't much, it's all heresay without any proof. My first goal here is to identify where they lived in 1900 and 1910 in order to find them in the census.
From the census try to derive some vital information that can direct me in the search in Sweden.
 
I will get back when I have some more to go on.

Do you know the names of Emma C. Hallberg (ne Andersson)'s parents?

[Karin Ekeroth]

Hi,
Could this be the family in the US Federal Census 1900? There are ten children of whom the youngest is only nine months. There could be more to come!

This could very well be the right family. in the 1910 census there are two more children. The image also says that the couple have been married for 29 years. Emma has given birth to twelve children and ten are still alive.

Now the job of finding the immigration.

[Karin Ekeroth]

In the 1920 Census the youngest daughter Ida is listed as granddaughter.
 
I do not have access to the Swedish Emmigration Records. Nor do I have Emmigranten or Emibas. If the above family is the correct one, it should not be difficult to find them in the Swedish records. Someone reading this could perhaps look it up. From then it should not be difficult to find them in various parish records.
 
Perhaps you, Joakim, have access to the records. The year of immigration seem to be 1881. In the Census Charles is listed as farmer, in the 1920 it is Dairy farmer, so most of the info you have is correct.

[Joakim Jönsson]

It seems like the right family, and that they were found in New York State also confirms one of my suspicions.
The year of immigration for Charles R. Hallberg at 1881 and Emma must have come somewhere between 1881 and 1882, according to census 1900 Theodor must have been born in the spring of 1883.
 
They married 1881 according to the findings and that must have been right before the immigration.
 
Have searched the Emibas and it did not render any results, neither did Emmigranten Populär 2006.
Charles R. could be Carl R., Karl R. or just Charles, anyway no Hallberg that fits this.
There no Hallberg departing with an Emma 1880-1882.
 
Coming to New York in 1881 must have been true Castle Garden or?

[Joakim Jönsson]

Hi again,
 
I have found some more info and it seems like Charles R. had a brother Andrew A. Hallberg. Maybe this Andrew could be the clue to the orgin of the Hallbergs.
I have not find any obit of Andrew yet but I'm still searching.
I know alot of the family now, almost everything but not the Swedich history, annyoing.

Beträffande Andrew Hallberg så kan nedanstående från census 1900 vara familjen, under förutsättning att Andrew avlider före 1900. Det intressanta är då de två äldsta döttrarna, angivna som styvdöttrar, de är födda i New york av svenska föräldrar och bär namnet Hallberg. Kan de vara Andrews i ett tidigare äktenskap?

Sedan undrar jag över den angivna Charles födelseår, i census 1900 anges han vara född 1857, jag har svårt att se månaden. Hans hustru uppges vara född juli 1861.

[Joakim Jönsson]

I think you have found the right family for Andrew, if you have the first two, Selma and Minnie, in mind (children) I think that must be the case. How Lyda is related to the family I do not know, maybe a sister of Andrew.
Now I know that Andrew came to US before 1887 (assuming Selma is Andrew's daugther), and that he died before 1900 (suprised me).
 
When you looked at the census for Charles and Emma, did you notice the year of immigration for Emma, was it the same as for Charles 1881.
 
I found an obit of Minni and that one states her as daugther of Andrew and Clara.
Ancestry forum:PJ: 1/24/1975: Minnie D. tTcknor, 83, of Heritage Village, Gerry, formerly of 85 Benedict Ave., Jamestown, died at 2:45 a.m. today (Jan. 24, 1975) in WCA Hospital.
She was the widow of Elmer Ticknor, who died Dec. 28, 1921. A Jamestown area resident all her life, Mrs. Ticknor was born in the town of Ellery, March 4, 1891, the daughter of Andrew A. and Clara Green Hallberg. She was employed at the former Empire Worsted Mills, retiring in 1954.
Mrs. Ticknor was a member of the First Lutheran Church and the Ladies Aid Society.
Surviving are two sons, J. Norman Ticknor of Jamestown and Leonard E. Ticknor of Naples, Fla.; a daughter, Mrs. Elton B. Johnson of Ashville; four grandchildren, Perry Ticknor of Naples, Fla., Craig Ticknor of Gainesville, Fla., Sally Ann Johnson of Ashville and Mrs. Shirley A. Dominick of Greenwood, S.

Thank for all the information

First around Andrew's family 1900: Both Lyda and Selma are stepdaughters. Clara is said to be born Oct 1864 and immigrated 1889.
 
Source: 1900 United States Federal Census > New York > Chautauqua > Jamestown Ward 3 > District 107 >sheet 17a
 
Charles and Emma has 1881 as immigration date, they also said they have been married for 18 years (census 1900) so they can have married before as well as after the emigration.
 
In rootsweb is the following found
Linda Fagerstrom b 1875 d1956 buried in Fluvanna Cem. I believe she is the d/o Andres Gustav and Josephene(Anderson) Hallberg. She is listed in the 1880 census as Leda Halberg. She was married to Fred Fagerstrom....
Lyda's sister is Sabina Schultz m. to Charles she also has another sister Selma who married J. Wilbur Hitchcock who died in 1939 remarried Victor Shane.
(easily found in Rootsweb)
 
So, I guess we now can see that Andrew was married twice.

And this might be Andrew in 1880

Perhaps it's time to take a look at Anders Gust Hallberg, emigrating from Falköping 1872 04 26 according to Emigranten. Source code 6:218:1291

[Karin Ekeroth]

The family seems to be well documented in the US. Now the question is: Where in Sweden were they born? Somewhere there must be a clue. It says Gothenburg. Farmer from Gothenburg? Maybe somewhere in Bohuslän?  
 
You did not find Charles/Carl/Karl. Have you tried to find Andrew/Anders/Andreas? Or the mother Mary/Maria Anderson found in the 1880 census. Once that parish is established you should be able to find ancestors.

[Chris Bingefors]

Enligt Emigranten utvandrar en Carl Hallberg från Vånga 1881, han heter i Emibas Carl Reinhold Hallberg f 16/7 1854 (var finns det olika uppgifter om ihfl). Där står han som ogift, men när han lämnar Göteborg gör han det med en syster, Anna. 18810812 reser en annan Hallberg från Vånga till Amerika, CA Hallberg född ca 1857-8. Kan dessa vara värda att kolla upp?
 
(Meddelandet ändrat av izla den 24 februari, 2008)

[Chris Bingefors]

Sorrry, I forgot it should be in English
 
Carl Reinhold is the son of  Johannes Larsson Hallberg in Tosseryd, Edsvära and Inga M Johansdotter. They had in 1855 these children (GID 602.13.49500):
Lars Johan b 1842
Samuel August b 1845
Anders Gustaf b 31/7 1848 in Wilske-Kleva (could this be the brother?)
Anna Lisa b 20/9 1851 d:o
Carl Reinhold b 16/7 1854 in Edsvära.
 
Anders Gustaf Johansson Hallberg left in 1876, from no specified abode, Falköping landsförsamling (country parish)
 
(Meddelandet ändrat av izla den 24 februari, 2008)

[Chris Bingefors]

There is something strange going on here:
The sister, Anna Lisa did go to America, but not until 1886, after the mother died. Or did she go once before? If not - who is the sister Anna born 6 yrs later in the emigration records?

[Chris Bingefors]

Sister Maja Lotta born 1857 leaves Vånga in April 1881 to go to America.

[Mats Ahlgren]

I wonder if Anders Gustaf left earlier (Emigranten has 1872) as AG Hallberg has a daughter born 1875
 
As said earlier, it is hard to read Carl R's birthinformation in census 1900. I read July 1855, but that does not fit to the age written, but if it is July 1854, then that is betetr.

[Chris Bingefors]

If he is listed as no specified abode he may well have left earlier.

[Mats Ahlgren]

A theory regarding Carl R's wife. An Emma Kristina Andersson is leaving Gothenburg the same day as Carl. She is 21 and from Linköping.

Thanks alot,
 
I'm right now trying to get all the information together and make some sense out of it. I have some clues here to follow up, the mother Mary Anderson, Vånga, Carl R etc.

1900 US Federal Census in Scandia, Elk Township,
Warren County, PA   mother Selma Halberg born
Mar 1836 in Sweden  Her tombstone info Sophia
Halberg 1836-1918.. son J Halberg born Jun 1866
(tombstone 1865-1923)  and son Sven Halberg Dec 1872 (tombstone 1873-) ? 16 Sep 1923 in Scandia, PA
Svan was ogift and John had 5 children..
son Henry died 8 Nov 1944 in Jamestown, NY
 
I could not find them on emibas, but they
are probably related, since they reside so  
close to each other.
 
Also most of the Halberg famiy from around
Warren County came from Halland..I got this
from a girl researching her family of Halbergs
at the Warren Public LIbrary.  She was a  
descendant from those which settled in
Elk County, PA near Ridgway...
