Under Construction

Currently Creating...........

This blog is going to be for searchers and current members of our VERY extended family. Recently I have immersed myself in finding my roots. Happily and with luck and friendship I found recently some Swedish cousins and some living in the USA. My family has descended from the brave emigrants who left their homeland of Sweden (and some from eastern Europe) and traveled to America.

My mother began her search when she came to visit me in Germany from Florida. She had a picture of my Great Grandmother Jennie Banera Willberg (or Willbergh, Villberg, Willborg) taken in Christianstad Sweden.

The family names I have connected so far are Mattisson, Svensson, Malmstrom, Andersson, Pettersson, Magnusson, Nilsson, Persdotter, Svensdotter, Willberg, Magnusdotter, Persdotter, Kosch,Edwards, Carlsson,

Nordberg, Runesson, Larsson, Gustafsson, Hjalmarsson, Olofsson, Johansson, Manfredsson,

Horvin, Benson, Wright, Bengtsson, Silvertsson, Valtonsson, Jonsson, Bergh, Valtonsson, Flinthage,Sivertsson, Gertsson, Lund, Eliasson, Hallsas, Mattisdotter, Molander, Persson,Bramble,Morris.

Whew that's alot and I am sure I missed some here and there. It is amazing to me that I have so much family out there that I don't even know about yet..

I am hoping this site helps us all keep it together, and also anyone searching maybe can find us and join us.

Maria Malmstom, my swedish cousin that I just met and Carol Nelson in the USA have provided me with a huge starting point, with pictures and info, added to the stuff my mom had and what I have found on the internet I had to buy a huge 3 ring binder and start organizing.

My goal here is to begin a public forum and a connecting place for us all to share pictures and information.

I am sure that Maria will do a much more professional job of it considering her profession but until then I needed a place to put it all down.

One of the reasons I started this blog is that I found Maria just by Googleing my ancestor Bengt Willberg.

So take care and have patience I will begin updating soon....
