I am helping a friend, Lorna Soderfelt McFarland from North Dakota, USA, look for living relatives in Sweden. We have received some help in the Discussions in English section. They have been very helpful in giving information about her ancestors. Lorna's paternal grandfather Per Erik Soderfelt Persson, born July 01, 1851 in Lujusnarsberg. In l876 his residence moved to Ludvika. He emigrated to America May 05, 1879 from Bjornberget Enkulle, Ludvika. We are looking for descendants of Erik's siblings. It appears that the most likely one with descendants still living in Sweden is his sister Augusta Persdotter, born July 01, 1839 (still living in 1900 in Ljusnarsberg). She had a son Johan August Eriksson, who was born March 17, 1866 in Vasterås, he died 1949; Johan married Lovisa Ulrika Karlsson, born 1864, died 1935. Their child Johan Axel Eriksson Berg, born Hork Parish Feb 06, 1896 and died 1974. Johan married Anna Linnea Hellkvist, born Apr 23, 1901 and died 1966. Is there someone who can help us find out if there are any living descendants of this family in Sweden? If so, please let us know. Lorna would like to correspond with a living relative, if possible. If it is not appropriate to place living contacts on this forum, you may contact one of us directly at one of the e-mail addresses below. Thank you.
