      The 1871-1876 Kånna household examination suggests that Carl and Britta came to Ljunga, or at least Berghem Andersgård, on October 2, 1874, two months and twenty days before they were married.

      They lived near or with his sister Emelie and family on Andersgård.

      The Anbytartforum confirms this, saying: “Carl Gustaf came in December 1873 to Kånna from the parish of Thorup. He then moved in with his brother Carl Oscar at the Berget cottage under {near?} Kvänjarp. In October of 1874, he moved with his bride-to-be Britta Maria of the Björkelund cottage under {to? in?} Berghem Andersgård. They married that December. In October of 1877 they moved to Berget cottage under {in?} Berghem south farm. Then on July 17, 1881, the family emigrated to America.” (This may have been the date on which they were permitted to leave and actually left Sweden sometime in September.)

      Lived in Kånna, a small town northwest of Södra Ljunga, until they emigrated. Left Sweden in September, 1881, with the destination of Red Wing, Minnesota. Terry says: They left from Malmo, Sweden on the Ship ALEXANDRA, arriving at Grimsby, England (east coast) taking the train to Liverpool. I have a picture of this ship. It never made it back to Sweden as it sunk in a major storm on the return trip to Sweden. Captain Johnson and crew probably all drowned but I never found about that yet. I have all the ship's crews names and home towns. The name of the ship owner was the South Sweden Steamship Company of Malmo, Sweden, which is on the south tip of Sweden directly across the Strait from Copenhagen in Denmark so there probably were Danish passengers too?
       
      The name of the shipping carrier was the INMAN Line with tickets to New York destined for RED WING, MINNESOTA. The big ships from Liverpool were usually called CITY of xxx......... but I have not found the exact ship name they were on yet as some of these ships had six hundred people on them and there were many ships each day to New York. Annerstad is near to Kånna and South Ljunga in Kronoberg län, SMALAND, Sweden.

      Britta, Tilda, and baby Emma (but, apparently, not Charley) arrived in New York from Liverpool on October 14, 1881, on the City of Paris which had sailed from the Swedish port of Malmö. The stated destination of the three was Red Wing, Minnesota. Carl Gustaf may have gone ahead earlier and then sent for his wife and children. All four are shown as leaving the Berghem Södregård parish at Kånna in 1881.

      According to Terry, Charley, a 31 year-old tinsmith traveled from Glasgow to New York on the Devonia, arriving June 7, 1881.

      In an 1885 census, the family was living in Cannon Falls Twp. The family consisted of Charles Lundberg, 35, Maria, 40, Mathilda M., 9, Nanny C., 6, Laurina, 4, and Alfred, 1.

      In the 1895 Minnesota state census, the family lives in Athens Twp, Isanti County. They had been there for a year-and-a-half.

      In the 1900 U.S. census, the family was living in East Barton, Pierce County, North Dakota. The family consisted of Carl, 50, Maria, 54, Walter, 18, and Ida, 14. Both children had been born in Minnesota. Carl is a farmer, Walter a farm laborer, and Ida a servant. Carl and Maria came to the U.S. in 1881. Maria has had 8 children, 5 still living. Carl and Maria had been married for 22 years.

      He moved to Naicam, Saskatchewan, Canada, with his second wife. But at the time of the 1910 U.S. census, he and Hannah were living in Milaca Township not too far from the John Quaid family.

      Not listed in the 1911 Canadian census.

      In the 1916 census, he and Hanna lived in Lake Lenore. He and Hanna came to Canada in 1911. Charles became a Canadia citizen in 1914, Hanna was still an American citizen. They were both Protestants.

      As Jan found, Charey and Hannah lived in Preeceville Twp, Saskatchewan, in Canada’s 1921 census. They lived alone and were still engaged in farming. They still claimed, respectively, Swedish and Danish citizenship. Both claimed to be Lutherans.

      Terry says: He probably never went to school since his land records in CANADA are marked by an " X" but even that I do not know for sure since he may have been able to write in Swedish and not in English.

      Terry says: the LUNDBERGS in Sweden always used that name which is very unusual as most Swedes used Johansson, Svensson, Pederson, etc. and changed their name every generation. I have most of the Swedish records but can not find them in the USA; maybe they became Carlssons, Johnson, Anderson, etc. and thus so common a name it is hard to trace them in the USA....??

    Ida Deiters with the Lundbergs in Canada
    Ida Deiters with the Lundbergs in Canada
    Taken in Saskatchewan in the early 1920s when Ida Deiters visited her Canadian cousins. Ida is 2nd from the right and we don't know who the dark-haired young woman on the far right is. The others, from the left, are Nannie Lundberg Quaid, about 44; Hannah Lundberg, about 68; Charley Lundberg, about 72; and Belle Jestin, about 27.

    This photograph was processed by Osborn's of Dickinson, North Dakota, which is where Ida and Gus were living at the time.

    Probably taken by Id during one of her visits to Saskatchewan. The print was processed by Osborn's Daily Film Service in Dickinson, North Dakota. The woman on the left is Nannie Lundberg Quaid. The older couple in the middle is Charley Lundberg and his second wife Hanna. The woman in the background between the two is probably Belle Jestin. The four people on the right in this picture have not yet been identified.

    Perhaps their wedding picture, in which case this would have been taken in Sweden in late 1874.
