Anna and Judy - many thanks for answering my questions, it is so interesting to find out all this.
I would like to find out who Nelly Friberg was.  Born 23 September 1857 - she (he?) doesn't appear in the information.  Perhaps she wasn't a sibling of August after all, although her birth year seems to fit.
Also interesting to hear about Johan Albin - Olivia married a Dane and had a daughter so the family story goes, but I hadn't heard of a son.
Very grateful for your help. Julie.
