One of my ancestors was born in at a place called
Valberget in 1744. His surname was Puls. Is there
anyone who knows where this place might be? So  
far the only place I've found with that name is  
rock-climbing place near Karlsham.

I am not sure, but I think there is a place called Valberget somewhere near Karlsborg in Västergötland.

Thanks! All I have is a copy of a letter written
in 1986 or 1987 of a person who had visited the  
place. (The letter has passed through several hands and I do not know the writer personally) She
said it was hard to find and forest company representatives had to help them. The Puls family were originally of Finnish descent and my great-grandfather (who was a Puls)was born near  
Grythyttan. So perhaps it is near Grythyttan.

I am sure, there is a mountain called Vaberget near Karlsborg in Västergötland
There are places with that name as well, found in Mölltorp or Undenäs parish.

Valberget is a fortified mountain overlooking Karlsborg which in turn was build originally as a central fortress at Göta channel. If your ancestors were Finns, it is more likely that they came from Grythyttan or some other place in Värmland-Dalarna because there were several forest areas with Finnish settlers.

Thanks again! The spelling I have is Valberget with a small circle above the letter a. I'm  
sorry I do not have that character on my keyboard.
Can anyone recommend how to start looking for this  
place? Thank you again.

There is a place just outside the town Karlstad that is called Vålberg maybe this is the place you are looking for?. Karlstad is a town in Värmland. It´s not so far from Grythyttan.

Hi Peg,
 
Your post was a couple of years ago, so I don't know how far you have progressed in your research... or if you will even check this post, but...
 
I was just looking at birth records for Södra Finnskoga, Värmland and saw a place called Wåhlberget.  This would fit with your ancestors originating in Finland.
 
I am stil learning about the area, but so far, it is interesting.

Hi Stephanie,
It has been awhile since I posted that message. I have learned a lot since then. A distant cousin found me through Anbytarforum and found the Vålberget I was looking for. It is in the area of Lesjöfors not far from Rämmen. There were several generations of our ancestors who lived there. My cousin visited Vålberget and sent me some photos of the area and some websites that discuss the skogsfinnar. All that is left there now are some building foundations. Still,it was exciting to see the pictures. Like you I am still learning!
thanks!     Peg
