Ekman, Josephine Born 1861 Berga Kronoberg

[Candace Roberts]

I am looking for information on the family of Salomon Josefsson Ekman--I believe to be from Berga Kronoberg. Paticularly a daugher, Josephine born May 1861...she is my gr-grandmother. I've not been able to find info on her but was able to find a bit of info on her sister-Carolina born May 1855..that identifies this as the correct family. Found an 1890 Swedish census that showed Salomon born 1816 and his wife as Anna born 1819 married in Berga 7-20-1849..that's about it.  
Any help with info or where to look, I'd appreciate.
 
Thanks,
Candace

Is there any info on when Salomon Ekman died-since he's no longer on the 1900 census? Also the census info above is from what year? Might there be anything available on when Anna died?
 
Many thanks for your help, Kerstin.

They married in Berga 20 Jul 1849.
 
Their children, all born in Fallnaveka, Berga:

Thanks ever so much for the info. I had information on 1 more sister for Josefina--an Ingrid Maria born 1-20-1853 Berga...but I see she's not listed with the others. Wonder if she was born elsewhere or perhaps my info was wrong? When Josefina died in 1927 her obituary stated she had 2 sisters still living in Sweden...and her sister Carolina who was in the Rockford Il area. Her brother John never left Sweden either.
Again, my thanks.

That is correct, Salomon and Anna Stina also had a daughter Ingrid Maria b. 20 Jan 1853. I did not find her as her mother is listed as just Stina Svensdotter.

[Don Tuthill]

You can find Ingrid Maria's birth record in Fallnaveka, Berga at GID: 817.24.42700 page 403.

I am looking for marriage information on Josefina's two sisters who never left Sweden and her brother. Emelie Christina born 12/16/1849 in Berga, Ingrid Maria born 1/20/1853 in Berga, and John Edvard born 10/21/1857 in Berga. I have assumed her brother John died sometime before 1927, as Josefina's obituary only listed the 2 sisters still living in Sweden. I have lots of info on Carolina, the sister who came to America, but nothing on those who remained in Sweden. Any further help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Tack,
Candace

according to the Kronoberg CD Emelie Christina Salomonsdotter b 1849 married, in Berga, Nils Mårtensson b 1854 on 25 april 1879, he was from Åby Ågård
Ingrid Maria married Johan August Karlsson b 1852 from Weka, Berga on 15 March 1878. Did not find Johan in the CD

[Maud Svensson]

Johan Edvard Salomonsson Ekman died just one month old, 8 Nov 1857 in Fallnaveka, Berga (KGF).

[Candace]

Thanks so much to all for the info.
 
Maud, Would there be any death info on the mother Anna Stina Svensdotter (b: 4/14/1819) in the same file as the death info on Johan Edvard? That's one bit of info I do not have. I understand she was still alive on the 1900 census at Fallnaveka Berga.

Sorry Candace, I don't have the death records of Berga after 1894.
